In photography, as in much of life, timing is everything! A few minutes early or late, the light is not right. In a blink of an eye, the expression has changed. I've missed so many of those photos. That is part of what keeps us picking up our cameras! Good videos, every time!
Wouldn't necessarily call 4:15 flat light. It's diffused sure but the scene is dramatic. You don't always need perfect golden hour light for a good shot. Obviously nice to have but good shots can be found in all conditions 👍
Thank you for the videos and your way of teaching! I appreciate it. I have found you in the past couple of weeks and have watched much of your "stuff". I use almost all the same gear and enjoy your attitude that expertise is the most important aspect of our hobby-as an old guy, I have no aspirations of making this a business-just a creative and artist expression of the world of nature. THANKS. Please just continue the concept of getting out there.
Question for you. How did you get into photography. Did you go to school for it or did you pick it up as a hobby, then pursue. Reason I ask. I picked up a dslr for my son's military graduation, and I was pretty good. I now have the Sony a7iii, but I find myself struggling now. Photography has really become a passion but I have hit a plato. Your videos are a lot of help but I'm wondering if I should maybe pickup a few classes.
Hi Clyde. I've never taken a photography class in my life. It's all been through self-learning and 1000's of hours of practice. Plateaus are completely normal, it's the ability to carry on through them that makes people good at photography
Nicely done, good examples. That first tree photo, never mind the lighting, the poor tree looked like it was bumping into the top of the frame. LOL You are right. it is all about the light we are after all talking about Photo Graphy. My videos improved no end once I bought some lights. Went from shooting wide open to using f8/f11, suddenly parts were no longer getting blurred as they went beyond the depth of field. You looked quite tanned in this video, been out in the Sun or played with the colour? No videos, no worries, it is only TH-cam, we will survive.
One thing pros do that beginners don't is take pictures. Pros take a lot more pictures, Better to take boring pictures (mistakes) in the pursuit of getting good pictures instead of not taking pictures at all (learning). As for your rules? Every photographer and teacher has their own rules, there are photographers who teach put the horizon in the middle especially on reflections for symmetry. Some say there are no rules and don't follow what other photographers say. LOL
Hi Joshua. Thanks for another informative and useful video. As far as my composition skills are concerned, I'm a rank amateur, so my thoughts on the photo at 7:20 are more questions rather than critique. I haven't had a chance to look at the video on a proper-sized screen, so this tiny phone may be distorting things. I agree that the background trees are a bit flat, but what I thought was more distracting was the blown out appearance on the right side wall of the cottage. So it seems that the harsh light you're talking about is affecting the subject as much as the background. Should I have gone to a proper screen before commenting? 🤔😉 Again, great videos! Keep 'em coming. (But enjoy your holiday first!)

Sorry about the echo, I didn’t set up my sound dampers behind the camera! 🤦🏼♂️
Light is the foundation of photography!!

Your photo @6:50 still works well because of the color contrast between the yellows, greens and the reds. I really like that photo. Fantastic colors.
Thank you 😁

I learn so much every video...appreciate it so much!
Really excellent tips, straight to the point and super helpful! Thanks!
Beautiful images Joshua. Thank you for sharing.

Art isn't totally subjective

Thanks. The tan is from my time outdoors 😅 plus this was filmed on my 250D which has much better colours for video
thanks Josh. l often get ideas watching your videos and this time you have got me thinking about back lighting. good video all round.
Thanks for the wonderful insight. The last image is gorgeous.
Thank you Michael
Excellent video Joshua! You take great photos. Yes lighting can be a challenge at times but worth getting good shots. Keep up your good work!
i think the photo at 7:12 is very good
Often times when I get a shot where I think the lighting is to harsh I'll just turn it into a black and white photo and bump the clarity up.
Nice critique.
Thank you Tony
Is it bad light or "wrong Light" ?

It was a whitewashed building, so although it appears blown out, that's just it's colour. Thanks for commenting :)
@@TheJoshuaPeg D'oh! Of course it was. I didn't even think of that. My bad!
Question.. will CPL filter eliminite harsh lit subject?
No, harsh light is the contrast between light and dark. CPL won't affect contrast, all it will do is reduce any shine from surfaces
@@TheJoshuaPeg i see tnx for confirming
Do any of these have nd filters or polarizing filters on?
A couple of them have a polariser. I never really use ND filters (just personal choice)

would trim the first 10 sec. day for studio photography not outdoor photography. informative 10+mins.
