Wow, this is an excellent video. It is very refreshing to approach bird photography from an artistic perspective. Thanks for video!
Tim, this was a very nice tutorial. I especially like what you told about the gesture.
Thanks
Fred Bisschop
Thanks for the video.
Good video, thanks
Tim, your video was shared to me by another member of an online photo course I'm taking. That was 12 minutes very well spent..Thanks!
Great video, Tim! I originally photographed in the Art Morris mode, caring only about the bird filling the frame. Lately I've been trying a bit of "bird in habitat" editing. I even decided not to delete a silhouette photo recently, but show it for its artistic nature. Loved learning about all the different styles. I see how any one of my photos may fit one or another style--I don't have to keep to just one.
I have recently begun submitting my photos to stock photography sites. They want less cropping than I formerly did. And they don't like digital noise. Not that I'm expecting to make any money at it, but it is something new to try and learn.
It's refreshing to learn some styles besides the present trend of super close, super sharp "portrait" shots that don't really tell a story.
Thanks
Very well done. Thanks.
my gosh those are stunning images
Thank you!
Great video Tim, really great insights to varying styles.
+Andy Roberts Thanks Andy.
Very informative! Thank you.
Very Interesting article Tim! Great insights! I have been confused and debating with myself on what would be an interesting shot! I love the habitat view, but I see the Art Morris style prevalent in many forums. This video has provided me with a lot of clarity.... Thank you!!
Excellent. Informative and up-to-the point.
Tim- great discussion of some of my favorite photographers. It's freeing to see the variety of ways in which we can express our time in the outdoors. It also continues to reinforce your earlier discussion re: the importance of intention. Thank you for another thoughtful post.
Thank you
Thanks for posting this interesting video Tim. I'm not very good at taking the time to analyse my shots - I just do what feels right for them. It was interesting to hear you speak about 'gesture' (as well as the other things). I've never come across the term. I think that is quite a powerful concept because it connects the image/subject and viewer. I'm glad I'm more aware of it now.
Thanks for commenting, I hope to do more videos like this one.
Very very interesting and informative. Will certainly help me in doing more interesting bird photography.
Wow, this was wonderful. I never knew about these different styles but discovered that I really relate to Frans Lanting's style and much of my photography emulates it, although certainly not very well.
I really like what he has to say about telling a story and that it's the most important thing, but telling it through the use of color and depth in the image. For me his comments about ignoring or not being obsessed about digital noise will change my photography. Thanks for commenting!
Thank you very much for this video and covering this topic. As someone getting started in bird photography, I'm not aware of who the influential bird photographers are-let alone resources to find out who they are-and this video bridges that gap. Yes, there is much to learn from them as well as yourself. Thanks again!
+Jonathan Mikulich glad to help thanks for commenting.
Another cracking video Tim, I’ve also just purchased your book and have read it many times already, a must for anyone addicted to bird photography 👌😉.... keep up the good work....JP
Thanks for getting to book, and I'm glad to hear you like it!
Is your book available in South Africa 🇿🇦 Tim ?
It's on Amazon so it should be. And it's a Kindle book so I'd guess you can get it just about anywhere. Thanks
The only worry about making a 'correct' photo, is that it will quickly lead to all photos looking the same. I've only just got a camera and I'm worried that this will go the same as any other hobby we get into - Doing as the experts say and stifling creativity. Rule of third, sun behind the back, blurred back ground, golden hour. It's all good, but if that becomes the rule and you only take the shot at those times, I think we'll miss so much. I prefer the idea of taking the shot with the gear you have, at the time you have it.
Really good video though, as are all of your others.
Hi Adam. I think you're right use the rules as guidelines but move past them to create other kinds of images. If the sun is low in the sky try side lighting it breaks the pattern, etc. Experimenting and trying different lighting, composition etc is important.
@@GodwitMediaLLC Thanks, I'm grateful for the response. It's a shame, but I find that we can lose the fun and creativity that naivety brings. The amount of times I hear, 'only shoot with your back to the sun.' Imagine if that was the one time in your entire life you were going to see that animal and you didn't take the shot because you thought another chance would come. I wish more was said about that.
Hi Tim.
At 8:45, you talk about creating leading lines in the frame. That is all good for a still subject but for a bird I have the feeling that is more like take the shoot and then see where the lines go. Yes, you prepare the shot, prepare the setting and background, but the bird will come in any angle as it wants.
Okay, that was my discharge. Now I will like you to prove me wrong, because that is a subject that has been in my list for a long time.
Please, do not take mi wrong. I think that is a great topic but has being hard for mi to assimilate.
Thank you and I really appreciate your work in this video.
Yes, you can't control where the bird lands, but you can crop so the branch leads to the bird or flip the image so the branch leads into the frame near the bird. There are ways to make it work, it's not gonna work every time, but I use it often. Thanks for commenting!
Very nice and informative video. Thank you!
This was a great video! I never think about a landscape approach and am super excited to try some different approaches and mix it up. Variety is the spice of life! Laurie B.
Thanks Laurie!
BEAUTIFUL WORK!!COMPREHENSIVE AND SHORT !!👍👍👍THANK YOU!!🌷
+UAEBIF S.Q. Thanks!
Thanks for this video Tim. I try to capture gesture in my photographs anyway - a look, a head tilt. I shall make more effort now. Sometimes you can capture a bird reacting to your photographing it, I managed to get a Buzzard in flight looking right at me as it passed overhead . I've already bookmarked the photographers you mentioned, I'll see if I can develop some ideas with the locations I visit.
Thanks, I think gesture in bird photography takes some practice, but it really helps the image!
Great video Tim! I enjoyed watching it.
+Bonnie B Thanks!
