Enjoy a huge discount on my Landscape Photography Masterclass here:
www.williampatinophotography....
In this episode, I'll walk you through a bunch of my photos from my beginning in landscape photography. And yes, some of these images I am not proud of... But, there is ALWAYS something to be learned from critiquing your images.
I'll explain my own mistakes, and talk about mistakes I see a lot in other people's work and teach you how to avoid these, how to improve your compositions, and how to improve your ability to capture amazing stories with your camera.
Enjoy!

This is such a great video to help troubleshoot and figure out why a photo isn't working.
Just starting the landscape masterclass and have learnt a lot already. Looking forward to learning more.
Thank you so much Lydia! :)
Once again a phenomenal and informative video. Your self-deprecating assessment of your earlier photos makes it easier for me to laugh at my own mistakes. Mire than any other landscape photography TH-camr, you make me want to grab my camera and go outside shooting, even if only in my own neighborhood, to try out the new ideas I have learned.
I have visited your website to view your images, and have lost track of how many times I’ve said “WOW!”
Highest compliments to your art and your content.
Here is that auto exposure blend again make so much sensor now. 👏❤️
Haha I feel like you could have dedicated the "don't get down too low" just to me. Another great video! There's hope for us all 😁
Hey Will, you have such a down to earth approach to photography. Enjoying these videos mate.
Thanks so much man. Much easier to find the motivation with kind comments like this. Cheers.
These are actually pretty useful… not the standard tips everybody gives. Thanks!
Thanks :)
I love your teaching. Very realistic and very helpful. You make me see things I wasn’t aware of. Really glad I came across your channel.
Thanks for stopping by and subscribing, I appreciate it :)
Great practical advice.
Loving the Stoney Creek
Haha, gotta represent 🤙🏼😅
Well done, as we all have these issues and it’s hard to criticize our work because the retro eye sometimes overwhelms. This is the maturation with understanding process that would be wise for all to watch. I’m going to watch it again.
Awesome tutorial!!
thanks for watching!
Thanks for another thought provoking video. Keep up the great work, really enjoying your Masterclass.
Thanks so much Glenn, really appreciate it mate !!
Photo matrix, ha remember those days. Thought they were so cool. Now I think how many shots did I ruin that I could have made great shots out of now.
😂😂😂
Thank You for sharing your knowledge/ skills.
I happened upon your channel via IG and being a 61 yr old woman I happy to have found your talented info.
BC I can relate to a lot of what you have discussed here.
Again thank you 🙏🏽

Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy more of the channel! Comments always appreciated :)
Love this. A couple of these I never thought of, so thanks so much for the tips.
Glad it was helpful!
So helpful! Thanks!
Pleasure! Thanks mate :)
Even the smallest of advice in your videos have been really helpful so far, really enjoying all of these. Cheers from Canada!
Thanks so much mate! Stoked to hear that :)
Hey!! Your early mistakes are some of my best landscapes! JK thanks for all of your amazing lessons. I am still learning to see better! Thanks!
Haha, thanks mate! Keep it up.
Awesome tips William. Thanks for sharing. Off to photograph the west coast for the next 5 days so will definitely keep these in mind. Especially the one about putting the subject too close to the edge. I've always been too worried about putting the subject closer to the centre due to all the composition things you read, but seeing how you do it in your photos while maintaining the rule of thirds, leading lines or another composition technique helps me a lot.
Thanks a lot Shaun and all the best on the coast. Seems like a decent weather window out there the next few days :)
Great little video mate. I have definitely had the halo effect on my shots, and have actually picked it up on other peoples photos.
Cheers mate! Yeah once you get the eye for halos, you can’t un-see them that’s for sure.
Love this video. I follow a lot of the changes you’ve made because you helped me with that. Awesome vid.
Thanks a lot mate. I'll never forget the night under that aurora in Iceland.
🥰
Thanks for the tips. It gives the rest of us hope given how much you've improved! One thing with some of your videos though, the audio volume seems to vary within the video so you might want to try and keep an eye on that. (Or maybe give us a video in a few years time showing common mistakes to avoid :) )
Haha, thanks Christine. Yeah I noticed the audio after the fact :( Have already made some adjustments here to improve it. Thanks :)
I need more of these lol please
Thanks for sharing your less than perfect stuff! Nice to see you’re also a mere mortal… or at least started out like one too.
haha thanks Jason!
That was usefull.
Glad to hear that!
Great vid 👍👍
Cheers!
Thanks for this! You are not only a talented photographer and artist, you are a very gifted and generous teacher. This video is brilliant. One thing I’d love to hear you talk more about is your file management on the computer. I viewed one of your tutorials where you explained a bit of it (the “marinade” folder, folders by subject) but I’d love to know more! For example, what you do with the images from a shoot that maybe weren’t worth processing in the end, didn’t work out, etc. Do you trash things? And if so, what are the criteria for chucking them in the bin? Memory storage is pretty cheap, but if not managed well, the files get overwhelming fast.
Thanks so much Yolanda. I delete files in camera, so when I’m home I’m only transferring and saving a collection of raws that are worthwhile. Still, I might have a large amount that will never be touched just the one file from the particular shoot however I don’t bother deleting the others, it’s too time consuming. I manually create folders by year, month and then location then simply drag and drop the raws into the corresponding folder. Once an image has been edited, it sits in a draft (marinade) folder and then eventually those either end up in a portfolio folder or may be deleted if I decide I don’t want to share them. Hope that helps!
Yes, thanks!
You use your lens cleaning cloth to block the camera on your mac, lol, same!
Just a piece of paper 🤪😂
Nice
Thanks
I'm really impressed with your work. Nice video's. Throughout some of your videos you talk about a course... Is it for sale & where can I find it?
No worries! Found it & bought it... Landscape photography masterclass with the upgrade of Photoshop for landscape photographers
Thank you so much. Here’s a sale on my complete pack www.williampatinophotography.com/complete-pack 🙏🏻🙏🏻
That pier looks like one in Lake Illawarra where I'm from
Yeah mate, sure is. I was born in wollongong and spent most of my life in the Illawarra :)
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography oh wow I had no idea, same I'm from Shellharbour lived here whole life. Great video by the way.
New to the channel but I've been aware of you for a while now. Your Facebook advertising is paying off. Try to resist driving too much traffic from social media directly to videos. It can confuse the hell out of the algorithm and can stunt your organic growth on the platform. Here, have a like, that will help the algorithm :).
Love your work and thank you for being honest about your past images. I feel my photography is somewhere in the middle between the examples you have here and your really awesome recent work.
I do not have the issues you seemed to have with HDR. Generally, it does a decent job but you're 100% right that it can be abused to make some absolutely senseless photos. Still a powerful tool though and in general bracketing can help in those high dynamic range instances as you might prefer the -1 or +1 exposures over the 0.
I have some feedback on the video:
The audio level is all over the place. I think your recorder is automatically level adjusting. In between takes, it boosts the gain and when you go to talk it blasts out at us and then suddenly it adjusts it down. My recommendation would be to find a level that works and stop it from adjusting.
The lighting is great, no shocker that you nailed that one ;). The composition of the video is ok, going wider might draw in too much of the room, which you may not have set up for shooting but I might recommend that route if you're going to shoot more talking head stuff. Any tighter though and it will feel like you're part of the background due to compression. Just like your photography, you are in the midground so just need a good background :D.
Keep up the great work, these are opinions only so take it as you may and I am no expert myself, just another traveller on the road. I hope to see more videos from you, as I love photo video journal content.
What metering mode do you use when taking photos at sunrise and sunset?
I only reference the histogram, as it's more accurate than any metering mode. Thanks :)
Good ol HDR. Probably another important tip is don't take feedback from your family 🤣
Haha right on! Nothing but positive feedback since day 1. My Mum would still like all the pics in this video.
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography hahahaha 😂. You gotta love the mum support
Are you the NUKES TOP 5 video voice???
I'm not sure what that is...
