Not only do I learn a lot from your videos, but they are calming and entertaining as well. You are by far the best I’ve seen, both in your images and your content. 💯
it got me about more than 7 years in photography to get your points, now I have experience of more than 15 years and I wished some one told me about it as simple as this video. great job
I tend to look at photos the same as I look at a painting, I study every area. At least, I think that's what I do. William, this video has me very interested in going back to most loved images with fresh eyes to check where my eyes travel (I hope I'm astute enough to notice). BTW that shot at 9:43 was glorious, beautiful, overall wonderful... Perfection.
I swear that this video came out in the right moment, it's even scary the timing. I went back to edit some photos I took in malta, I was feeling completely upset with the results. The subject of the video is exactly what I needed to hear
Sometimes to help reinforce the illusion of depth I'll (using a brush or gradient mask) add a tiny bit of local contrast or clarity to parts of the immediate foreground only. Seeing that tiny bit more detail up close, but not far away is yet another characteristic of depth. Very good points, great video.
Very good! This knowledge is what I appreciate best. Disregard the gear stuff and focus on the picture is in focus for me. I do believe that the post-processing are many time overworked. I think one key comment is when you mention paint artists. We should study more the classic landscape's paint artists for composition ❤
Thanks a lot man. It’s a focus stack, because I was so close to foreground. I just meant the composition was a little more technical and not so straight forward. Thank you 👊🏻
Hi William, would you ever shoot an image and process it where the foreground is where you want attention and lighten the foreground and darken the background. I like how you say what effect you are trying to create and the tools you are adjusting to get that effect. Do you teach that in your photoshop course?
Thank you mate. The scenario you described would be very rare. The background is there for a reason, if you want the eye on the foreground then why add background at all? In that case I’d just capture the foreground as an intimate scene by itself. I’m sure it can be done but certainly a unique scenario. Yes, my processing course covers all this in depth with examples :)
Interesting point of view. But here're the three characteristics the famous wildlife photographer David Yarrow believes every great photograph shouid have: 1. In all likihood, the same photograph could not be taken again. 2. The picture should be interesting enough to look at for a long time. 3. The photograph should 'touch the heart'. How many landscape photographers ever consider these criteria?
It’s a wonderful concept and when you’re selling images as limited, for very high $$ you can certainly afford the luxury of only releasing a dozen or so images per year. He’s a smart business man and strictly adhering to those criteria work very well for his business model. It’s also quite subjective. I believe I’m I adhere to the criteria but not strictly. It doesn’t suit my business to only release less than a dozen frames per year. it’s also incredibly subjective and also not completely practical for beginners in my opinion. People learn from making incremental progress.
But also, the near element needs to be aesthetically pleasing, unlike what we have an abundance of, seaweed, ugly ass seaweed that adds nothing, just there to ruin your life! I might be tired and in need of a nap 🤪

Sure thing. You’ll see me do that in some of the processing videos. Cheers mate.
Fantastic as always - thank you, William 🙏🤘📸

Very informative! The sunset picture, with the plants in the foreground, is that just one image? You mentioned it was a bit more technical?

I guess we have read the same book. Mine from 1967❤❤😊😊✌✌👌👌👍👍
Haha. My main learnings are from the romanticism paintings of the 1800’s 😅
