    I think this format works better as a teaching aid then explaining a composition setup while looking at the back of a camera. Showing the raw vs edited versions of an image is very helpful also. I would welcome more of this type of video. Keep up the good work Adam.

    The interesting and inspiring part is the way you judge the light exposure in the RAW file as leading part in post processing.
    Combined with your way of adjusting the contrast of colors makes this video a “painter’s” class for photographers!

    I’ve learned so much from you Adam! Can’t thank you enough. I never had an interest in gardens, but after watching your videos, I started photographing public gardens in the Seattle area to practice the principles you teach. It’s really helped improve my photography.

  • @IKEMENOsakaman

    • @thomastuorto9929
      @thomastuorto9929 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      While the settings are most likely going to be different for every photo, for some odd reason I like seeing them also & knowing gear was used. Including things like polarizer, ND, etc. Don't know why, just do. Maybe it makes the vid seem a more complete presentation.

    Great video and tips for compositions Adam. I have absolutelsy learned a thing and two in this viodeo and one of the things are the temperature of the colors. I have never thought that way :) Thanks :) I would love to see more of this kind of videos whenever you have the time.
    Great work once again :)

  • @blivieriphoto
    @blivieriphoto 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Love composition talks! Everyone has their own ways and learning from you and your fellow photographers is helpful to some of us putting together our own compositions.
    I'm sure its nice to take a break from vlogging every single minute of your photo shoots. So yes, absolutely, more of the same. You have such a vast body of work, you could show several of your images in many of these type of videos, and we'd never get bored. 😁 Thanks Adam!

    EXACTLY spot on! Every little tip is something that can help my photography get better! I thoroughly enjoy these tutorial type videos.

I hope you will continue to do these.

  • @rickdenbraber6869
    @rickdenbraber6869 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you very much for this video. It was really interesting to see what the raw file and the final image looked like. And sharing your ideas on what you are looking for in a composition really helps. What I learned was many people can take pictures and become experts at using a camera but it takes an artist to create an image that has all the right stuff. And some of that also involves going back again and again and some luck.

  • @AliasJimWirth

  • @cliffnieuwenhuis8638
    @cliffnieuwenhuis8638 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the video. It really helps me to hear you talk about the thought process behind the shot -- what was important when you were taking the photo and how those decisions play out in editing. It gives me confidence that I'm at least starting to think the right way about my compositions. I would enjoy more of this type of video, but I appreciate anything you offer.

  • @kennygo8300

    Always enjoy your videos , and really loved how you talked about 'spending too much time thinking about your composition that you lose that spontaneity'. So true with many aspects of trying to improve - we can forget why we're really out there - I'll stop rambling now and just say thank you for the reminder, and always being so generous with your sharing.

    @barrytaylor983 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks Adam, I found this really helpful. It’s so useful to have anecdotal information behind the “rules” like the foreground/background relationship, I’ll definitely make use of that. Also really love the before and after comparisons, I can think of a few of mine that I might revisit. Cheers Barry

  • @PaulEvans
    @PaulEvans 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Including videos like this one makes your channel so much more interesting, “ whole” if you like. Illustration of thoughts and process of creating an image shows us that you’re first & foremost a photographer not just a vlogger.

  • @lynnecliffe3056
    @lynnecliffe3056 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You have well illustrated that producing a great image is not just pointing and shooting. It involves before and after analysis and work. Attention must be given to: tools and elements, personal stamp on intimate scenes, dark, light, texture, patterns, brightening, warming, avoiding overlapping and a host of other considerations. Thank you Adam for helping us to see the light.

  • @henrykuppens9097
    @henrykuppens9097 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Enjoyed this video on composition in a kind of 'behind the screen' way.
    These videos are surely welcome.
    I'm always eager to learn how you and your colleagues make their choices on compositions, in the field or at home.
    When in a landscape I'm mostly distracted by my surroundings and afterwards behind the screen I get to ideas or see that what I got looks better then expected.
    I tend to play with color saturation, like shifting it a little towards black/white. Or end up black/white.
