Hello, Roger Although I stopped doing analog photography a while ago, I find your channel very interesting. I mainly work in black and white, but digitally. Because we have moved to an adapted home, and I am disabled, there is no longer room for a dark room. Which I've had for years. But so be it. I really enjoy watching your channel. Firstly because of the information you provide, but certainly also because of how you profile yourself. You would be a great teacher, man. And we have the same barber 😀 You could be my neighbor that I would go out and photograph with. Kind regards from the Netherlands, Antoine.

Great inspiration. Tried lines just around the back garden. Much harder than I thought but made me think a lot more about composition. Cheers

Love that shot of Paul, also like the grain in it spot on! Bit of some photography lingo, did you know that the Nikon F3 was the first DSLR ever made? It was gutted and kitted with the digital bits along with a separate ccd that looked like the first cell phone. It was produced for the press and sold for around $20,000!

Another really enjoyable episode, I appreciate the know how with the show how, keeping it simple and informative. What it's made me think about is not worrying about have you got this lens, or that camera, just grab a camera and a lens and have a topic or theme and shoot that, where ever you are I bet you'll find something to shoot. I know procrastination and the worry of not knowing all the basics of composition certainly hold me back from photographing more than it should.
@ShootFilmLikeaBoss2 ай бұрын
Just take photographs with a basic composition Russell and keep it simple. If anything I would always try and keep my horizons as straight as I can and keep my subject in the middle and try not to crop anything off the edges. You can't go wrong with simple.

Very good instructions and examples. It inspires me to go do some of this stuff. I'm not good at isolating compositions. Love your videos. As an aside, I was listening to this here in the USA (Florida) and my wife came in and asked me what I was listening to. I said it is a photographer I follow on KZbin. Why do you ask, I said. She said, Oh, I thought it was the BBC.

Usually I won't go off plan either and stick to it but Paul was a one off. And I wouldn't recommend it for a photowalk with someone. You're still on shot 3 and they've done 2 rolls!

Other compositional 'things' I was told: we read from from left to right in the west, so the eye looks at a picture on the left at the start, so lead in from the left, even if it means turning the neg' over (providing there is NO writing). Also leave an area for the object to 'move into'.
@mikesmith-po8nd3 ай бұрын
@richardjames3022, you're correct. Roger illustrated that very well in the previous video. The final print with the trees is an excellent example of "capturing" the eyes.
@ShootFilmLikeaBoss2 ай бұрын
It's correct Richard. We read from left to right and someone walking into a frame as such is more comfortable. Unless you read in Arabic/Hebrew. Here's the thing. Set up, as I did, and wait for that interesting person. Damn, they are coming in from the right ha ha. Take the photo. And to leave enough room for the person to walk into that direction is also favoured. The photo you saw gave me no option than to have the person only after the railings or the railings would have been disturbed. That was in my mind. Good comment.
@mikesmith-po8nd3 ай бұрын
Another great video. Not only lines, but a good demo of how to use something to break up the monotony and to give them scale. My favorite composition was one that you didn't take. I love the way that the building/water/sky is framed between the bushes at 11:45.

I think I'm only just getting to the point where my brain is overwhelmed with the mechanics of a manual camera and can really start thinking about composition (I'm a bit over a year in to a photography journey that I started specifically to improve my composition skills for painting, kind of got a bit sidetracked :D )
