Ok yes! Remove the attachment… i am guilty of remembering a situation better than it actually was and take it the edit too far.. absolutely nailed it there! *penny drops * thaaank yooou!
Recency bias. I do it all the time haha. These days I try not assume I have anything, just enjoy the moment and if there's something work keeping after that, then its a bonus.
Great video!! As a professional wildlife photographer I see a lot of amateurs just “throw everything at the wall” to see what sticks. All the birds heads facing away, twigs behind heads terrible backgrounds. Blown highlights etc. I think these principles are so important to all forms of photography. We want to make sure the finished product is as worthy of presentation as possible. And sometimes you just can’t make it work and it simply has to go. No shame in that. Reputation is important. It will serve you better in the long run if you follow these principles. Thanks, mate! I always appreciate your content.
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography of course, thanks again! I still have a really hard time seeing a gorgeous final image landscape from a dimly lit RAW file. I’m getting better at it, but with birds, a colorful bird with a great composition or action shot can use a little work to make it pop, but landscapes do require a great deal of tweaking. This is why I invested a lot in filters, as cumbersome as they are. I’m experimenting with your methods too and I am enjoying handheld shooting also and I can definitely see why you prefer it. Thanks again!!
I remember when I did a workshop with you, one of the first things you said was "you won't be publishing this on social media straight away" and you are so right. I'm still sitting on work which is marinating months later as I know in my heart there is just something not quite right. Great advise which has echoed in my mind many many times. Thanks for the video.
Will you explained it perfectly , this is exactly what I practice , but it took many years of great thought process and discipline to restrain one self ! But this all comes from and with experience . Great blog as always .. stay well !
Oh my gosh, I just watched this video and I LOVED it!! 🤩 Your three passes technique and marination stage are absolutely brilliant! I'm a huge fan of your work, and I've actually created a planner specifically designed for photographers that I think you might find super useful. I don't wanna be spammy by dropping names here, but I would absolutely love to chat with you about it and explore potential collaboration opportunities. Your expertise combined with this planner could be a game-changer for photographers out there! Please let me know if there's any way I can get in touch with you! Keep up the fantastic work! Can't wait for the next video! 📸🌟
Stunning! I kept pausing to gaze... unbelievably beautiful. Googled marination photography and got there after chicken - 'fresh eyes' as you often say is the key. The images literally made my heart ache - the highlights on every layer with the sea foreground... the moon... the parrot... the diagonal light rays THAT TREE. I also laughed. So much here, I can't thank you enough. William Patino, the quintessential photographer.
Now the chicken could have been a better option for the video thumbnail, haha! Thank you so much Joan, your kind words mean more than you know. I always appreciate it.
A great video, Will. One that resonated with me as a (slightly obsessed) time poor photographer. One suggestion I’d proffer us to include one or two example compositions that you liked, kept and edited. Otherwise great work and keep them coming.
What I find useful for the final pass and marination stages is to export the images in question to around HD-resolution JPGs, upload them to Dropbox, and import them to my phone's/tablet's camera roll, then look at them at different times away from my computer. Often, I glance at the images in bed or waiting in the grocery line, and suddenly spot something obvious that I hadn’t noticed before. I go back and rework it, then go through the whole process again until I'm satisfied seeing the image every time I look at it.
Really handy tips William. I've been in this situation pretty often, so in future I'll be spending more time assessing each image before deciding if I'm completely happy with it
Excellent! Fascinating insight into your process. I’m usually too quick to post my images and then a few weeks later regret and find things I hate, I will definitely be adopting the marination phase 😊
Awesome tip. I’m definitely guilty of posting too quickly and need to let things marinate a little. That being said, I’m wondering how you manage this in your file structure? How do you know how many passes you’ve given an image? I’m constantly building images and feel it would be easy to lose track of which ones are on the first or 3rd pass.
When you know, you know. I just have a file full of drafts which I revisit each week. Eventually I export them all at once to my website under the ‘new work’ section. Some of the drafts may have been there for months, and others just a week or so.
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography I have a similar folder going at the moment. I throw in anything I think is “ready for upload” and review anytime I want to post. Sometimes I post as they are and other times I’ll edit and leave it in there. Just thought maybe there was a more systematic way to do it haha

It’s shown in your work. There’s no rush, it’s your art. You’ve come a long way!

Great video! Just about the right duration too, you got to the essentials with nice examples and in a concise way. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!
My pleasure, thank you!

Yeah just seeing the image in a different context can definitely help view it in a new way :)

Good one mate. Thank you!!
