Good review. Can I offer one suggestion? When you show your Lightroom images in Library mode, use the I key and include the information that shows f stop, shutter speed, ISO, etc. Would help us better understand what parameters you are using for various shots. Sometimes I see the settings in the bottom of the histogram that you show, but it is not there always. Not sure why that is. :). Thanks!
Hi mark, I know this has nothing to do with the topic of your video today. Although your content is good it isn't the reason why I watch. You present the information in a way that's very palatable and enjoyable. Because I'm an old guy a lot of what I've learned over the years leaks out on my pillow. Watching Your videos gives me the reminders of the important details that aids my photography. I'm not a bot But the bourbon I'm drinking might be making me sound like one. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching
6:30 the leaf makes me think of (I think !?!) the B-52 Bomber used by, anyone else? Well, back to nature :) Btw, I see an Arrow in all among the rocks (8:25), do u see It? Nice video, thx
Thanks, I tend to create those chaotic scenes and never thought about opening up my lens. I will make sure to try and focus on that in my landscape photos of my woodland scenes.
Thanks for all the great tips, Mark! I don't know if I've ever said it, but I really like your conversational style. It's kind of like sitting down with a friend & chatting, even though it's one-sided. This may sound dorky, but I was kind of excited with myself when you talked about using shallow depth of field, since that was my first thought for a tip, before you mentioned it. That sort of experience - coming up with something before someone else who has more experience points it out - just makes me feel like I'm not only learning but also retaining what I'm learning! :) Hopefully I can also now apply it, without getting so excited with a scene or subject that all that retained learning flies out the window. LOL As for Fall plans, I'm hoping to go up to Atlanta (TX) State Park - a little bit southwest of Texarkana - sometime next month to photograph some nice color. My mom & I visited Daingerfield State Park - also northeast Texas - 2 years ago, but got there a bit too late for the peak of color. I plan to be more on top of things this year & hopefully not miss whatever peak we may get. :) I've never been to Atlanta S.P., but it looks pretty, so hopefully I can get some good shots. Anyway, thanks again for your weekly videos. I find them really helpful. Hope you have a wonderful day! :)
This type of photography is totally my jam. I like the small cozy places. I've found placing objects towards the rear of the depth of field gives great results. Especially as you said if you're at a middle aperture. I've usually got my 70-300mm on my camera most of the time, and the extra distance is good for wildlife. I really don't do vistas' much, yet that is. Plans for the fall. Hoping to catch me a buck and his females in the preserve nearby. That's why the 300 is useful. He's a big guy. Smart enough to live on a preservation area also.
Thanks Mark, here in Texas the oppressive heat is waning and your video has really jumpstarted my enthusiasm for Fall photography!!!!!! I’ll be getting out more and now for longer periods of time!!!!
I was in the California Redwoods last year I struggled with lens selection finally settling on a Rokinon 14mm 2.8 it had a low enough aperture under the dark canopy and wide enough to getwhole trees in the distance plus I made use of sun bursts in the pictures as the lens gives pleasing sun bursts
Great vlog! I always appreciate your composition explanations. Looking down when looking around expands your visual world. And sometimes you find something without realizing. I had My camera hanging sling style over shoulder with it on. I went to grab it and hit the shutter by mistake. When I got home and saw the image,it was great! It was a river bed of pebbles. The unique thing was there were multiple colors which made it very interesting. It was simplistic chaos, if there is such a thing.
When in wooded areas, I seem to use f/2.8 a lot. Many times I look for something solid close up and allow the background to be chaotic. I'm always looking for macro shots when doing a walk-about too. Also, short video clips thrown in can be nice. It's all about shapes, colors and lighting. lol
Love this video. Great channel. I’m subscribed and have learned so much.Thank you. But a suggestion: slow your delivery; normal delivery is around 120 words per minute. My guess is that you’re way beyond that. If you slowed a little it will improve viewers’ understanding, leave them a little less exhausted at the pace of your delivery and eliminate the occasional stumble. Maybe I’m over sensitive to these things but I did it for living before retirement and embracing photography.
Great tips, as always! I think your videos are continuing to get even better. Sometimes, I'll make a selection of the distracting background and add some negative dehaze to create a little "fog." Fall plans? See you next week on the Oregon coast!
Great tips. Chaos is about all I experience in northern Alberta forests, simply because they are so dense. Possibly I need to focus on the intimate items instead of the big scene. I will be heading to northwestern New York state, close to Ellicoteville for a week of visiting family. Hopefully there is still some colour to get photos that I can't get close to home.
Hi Mark, thanks for the tips. Not so intuitive question, but here it goes: Have you done stacking 2 images, but each image is shot wide open? -- by focusing just on the foreground, then mid-ground, therefore making the background a little bit blurry?
Thanks for sharing your beautiful images & great tips, such as getting high & getting low etc. I always refer to fog as nature's soft box, it's a great tool for sure👍 Is your lovely wallpaper also from Acadia NP? Btw I really like your shirt too!
Plans? Yup! Gonna be in Sedona AZ in a coupla weeks. Might see some color but I'm more excited about photographing Oak Creek in b&w.. I'll be in Zion for Halloween, might be some color there too.
Hi Mark. Have you ever shot the “kudzu statues” ( I call them that, anyway) like in the area of the Nantahala Gorge or lately pretty much anywhere in Western NC? I find them fascinating but maybe that’s just me! They are crazy.
Awesome episode as always and I'll be out in western NC at the end of the month and can't wait to put some of these tips to use! Thanks for all your insight and techniques! Also, I need that shirt! Freakin' awesome!
Please help. I have Canon 90D with 18-135 lens. From the day I brought, I m struggling with one issue. What ever pics I take it doesn't appears FOCUSSED. On display it shows focus point and the point seema Focus, but when looking at the same image in laptop it LOOKS BLUR. I have tried many steps, using tripod, faster shutter, with out touching camera, used timer and connecting to app even watching many videos came through personal calibration and did it. BUT the result is the same. I am not getting a satisfied Focus on the pics. PLEASE HELP, what can I do?

Anyone got any Fall photography plans they're excited about?
Headed to Acadia next week! Conditions are looking glim later in the week but hopefully things will clear up!
I’m in middle GA, and I’ve got some nice scenes with beech trees picked out for when the fall colors come in November.
@@patrickbamford7067 One of my favorite places! Enjoy Patrick!
@@OutofChicago Can't wait to see you all! This is going to be great👏👏
Shenandoah to the Smokies. Just waiting for that moment.

just returned from Acadia and Down East Maine coast last Sunday. Still working the images.

Hahahah - thanks so much Darren! Great to hear you're enjoying the channel!
It's always good to look around or down on the ground. Thank you for these tips. Greetings from Poland 🤗
Happy to do it!
Always look forward to your vids Mark.
Hope you are enjoying Colorado. Save some color for us this weekend 😉
Thanks so much Greg! There's still plenty of color around the San Juan area right now!

Hi Mark, there's another 15 minutes gone in a flash, and so useful ... thanks for sharing.
Great to hear it was helpful Steve!
Thanks for the great tips! Please look up “simplistic”.
Looking down is a great idea! Dodging is also a great suggestion as well as separation. Thanks, Mark!
Thanks for watching Richard!
Hi Mark, thank you for these helpful tips.
Happy to do it!
Fall trip to Hallstat Austria and Berchestgaden, then Lake district. Great info Mark. As usual
Thanks Bruce! Enjoy your trip!
nice video Mark! I started doing some photo in my garden to small plants and leaves decorated with waterdrops after the first autumn rains
Thank you!
Yes, Eastern Sierra and Yosemite!
Nice!!

It's possible to slow the video speed when watching
Fantastic tips Mark!
Thanks Jason!
Hey Mark, looks like you have a spam imitator. Have a wonderful day!
using f 2.8 on a 70-200 on crop sensor for street photography simplifies
Good stuff Mark
Thanks Harold!
Thank you! This was so helpful.
Happy to hear it Liz!

Very good tips. I also like the simpler more minimalist style of photography. Say, did you ever find your X100v camera yet?
Thanks!
👏👏👏👏👏
