[@guysingleton3908]

Excellent tips as per usual. Gives you a lot to think about when I'm out and about. Thank you.

Thanks mate!

Love the ultra wide and wide angle lenses. I use 3 wides.Canon 11 24mm F4,Canon 17 40mm F4 and the Samyang 14mm F2.8.Most of my images are taken with these 3 lenses. Another fine presentation William. Thank you.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Quite an arsenal there! The 11-24mm is brilliant. I’ve ordered the Sony 12-24mm, as that extra width really opens up new possibilities. Thanks for viewing :)

[@SpecialBrewCan]

[@denisesavage2382]

That was really useful - thanks Will!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Glad it was helpful!

[@rosssayer6524]

Thanks William on some good tips, I think the one about (Avoid over emphasis on the foreground) is commonly overlooked. Really great location. Another video I found very helpful and enjoyable

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks Ross, always appreciate the comments and support.

[@shupingyin8082]

I like what you said “it’s not possible for a lot people”. Often it is the case for me

[@PMCN53]

More great advice from a great pro! Heading over to NZ - Otago/Fiord land in August 2024.. hoping to practice what you preach 👍🏻😎

[@leannecullen8317]

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Ah cheers, thanks mate!

[@Offaducksback]

Having picked up the Nikkor Z 14-24mm in January (my first ultra wide) finding your tips on wide angle lenses really helpful. I’m slowly applying and linking each tip together and can see the difference.👌🏻 Thank you for making these

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Really pleased to hear that, thank you! All the best with it :)

[@yanyakirevich791]

Every good video explaining how to make any landscape photo stands out. Talking about how to have any landscape picture is very helpful for any photographer who wants to learn how to make their pictures stand out better.

Thanks again will! Always appreciate the effort you make with these vids 🙂

Thanks so much Fi ☺️☺️

[@richardpoland4074]

I struggle with focus. What's your method for getting sharp images front to back? Hyperfocal distance? Focus 1/3 way into the scene? Etc.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Focus 1/3 of the way in, with a narrow aperture. There’s other factors potentially contributing to not getting your images sharp enough. Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpXNiqiHi9WjhbM I’ll also make a new one soon addressing ‘where to focus’. Cheers!

[@richardpoland4074]

Hi William, thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. I know that camera shake is an issue also not using fast enough shutter speed for handheld. New Zealand looks like awesome local for photography. I'd like to make it down there sometime. Going to Zurich and the Alps next month. Ever shot there, any advice? Cheers Rick.

[@TheLuckyluc555]

such useful tips, thanks

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

My pleasure. Thank you.

[@davidbodine6465]

Great job.

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thanks!

[@nevvanclarke9225]

It's interesting because I'm not always believing that we need to obey the rule of thirds. We can get a little bit stuck on that concept to be honest and people could argue all day whether it's good or bad or whatever, but for white angle lenses. Typically a lot of shots will kind of need to obey the rule of thirds because of the four ground, the mid ground and then what you have in the background so setting up composition with a wide angle lens is your full ground needs some feature it needs a story. It needs to draw the eyes in. I see so many great white angle photos, but they just have nothing in the foreground and it just feels like it was taken with a smart phone and no disrespect to smart phone Photography, but it just feels lame I started to get slightly lower. Navel height works

[@melindapryor]

Words from the Wise! Cheers Will!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Ha, thank you Mel!

[@tecunumantonatiu4484]

Thank you! Great Tutorial, Beautiful Landscapes!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Thank you too!

[@dirkgibbens377]

Another awesome video. The tip "don't hide the mid ground" is a good one. I sometimes tend to get too low, and then I don't know why the photo doesn't look good. I now know why! And that image at 3:55? Wow! Just wow!

[@WilliamPatinoPhotography]

Cheers Dirk!
