I always appreciate you sharing your tips and knowledge with us. If I may respectfully request you provide 1 or 2 extra seconds of viewing time on your photographs. I must take longer to focus my eyes and try to soak in your beautiful pictures but I fully appreciate you’re balancing viewer retention and pace. I just like a bit more time to encompass each one of your thoughtfully composed photos and enjoy the subject(s). Again, thank you for sharing your valuable trade skills! 🙏❤️

Yes, it is always a bit tricky to decide how long a photo should be displard. I have had a little over 3s, but maybe I try 4 to 5s on my next video. Thanks, I always like suggestions about the content.

Peter, reflection photos are like salt in the soup --- not too much. One or two window shots a week might be more than enough. The wet walkways, on the other hand, one may never get enough of. Reflections which are interesting, not too demanding on the brain to view, or have great depth, or mystery to them, is great. Just keep it exceptional of the portfolio, or people view your works as too gimmicky or your limited signature look. Thanks for your views, Loren

Hi Peter, I’m really interested in the topic of ‘reflections’ and I appreciate the illustrative examples you’ve shared. It’s clear that you're fortunate to have access to the great locations you know so well. I imagine it's a good idea to study the local conditions for a while beforehand, especially when it comes to things like bus timings or general activity patterns. Once something happens, it seems more will follow! I’m a big fan of symmetry in images, but I believe there always needs to be some kind of dynamic element or action happening within the frame to keep things interesting. Thanks for the video! I’m feeling inspired. Sabine

Thank you very much. Yes it is helpful if it is possible to study local conditions before hand. Sometiems going to a place that is not so familiar can also be good. The element of surprise and new is also interesting.

I’ve been thinking about bringing a “window” or sheet of glass along to capture reflected yet semi transparent images of things, people, nature, architecture & etc. These would be intentionally composed rather than the found images you’re demonstrating here. Have you tried something like this & if so do you have any thoughts or tips to share? I imagine it would be a fun way to help me re-see things I’ve grown so accustomed to that I don’t even notice them anymore. Thank you again for another fine video. You do have a way of tickling my brain in just the right way.
@ForsgardPeter19 күн бұрын
What a good idea. You should definately try it. I think most of the tips I was talking here work on your idea too. You could try to find a place for the reflecting surface so that it looks into a different world. If you have a mirror the effect would more intense. I hope you have chance to play around with that idea.

@stephenjones924619 күн бұрын
Excellent video Peter, thanks. We often see 'perfect' street images in terms of composition, light and timing; I think such images can look contrived and unoriginal. Our streets can be chaotic places, It can be refreshing to see the inclusion of 'distracting' elements, they sometimes add a creative twist or humour to street photography.

Great video and beautiful photos! Favorite tip: embrace imperfection. Sometimes I show my friends and family (people who know very little about photography) a few dozen photos and ask them to choose their favorites. Almost all of their favorites consistently have significant imperfections: subjects are out of focus, the camera moved, there is motion blur, there are lens flares, it was exposed improperly, etc. After talking about it, they generally associate technical photography with advertisements and Hollywood (a.k.a. sterile and soulless corporate projects.) Imperfection reintroduces the human element into a machine-based artform.
@ForsgardPeter20 күн бұрын
Thanks for sharing. It is exactly like that. Imperfections are interesting as long as they do not distract too much.

Hej Peter, I never used reflections in my photography, I can't say why not. And yes, I love symmetry and I love imperfections. Unfortunally Most people prefer a perfect photo and can't understand when my photos are not perfect. Sometimes you hear: 'Such a expencive Camera and so bad photos? Thank you for your tips!

@ForsgardPeter19 күн бұрын
It depends on thye style. If motion blur is wanted then it can be lower, but if you want to freeze the motion it can as high as ISO6400. I usually do not go higher with my Ricoh GR3x.
