The worst thing you can do is compare your work to someone else's. It will bring you down. I only upload stuff that makes me smile and could careless what others think. Its my adventure, not theirs lol. The most valuable photos i wish i had is photo's of shopping centers , stores etc from early 90s in my area. I wish i had those.. they would be extremely boring to others but to me would be a wealth of nostalgia. Stores that no longer exist, roads that are now different. I wish i had those.
Thank you, Brian, for the very kind words, I love our little chats over a coffee or two. I take photos for myself. If someone likes what I do, all the better, I have always had trouble accepting praise, I suppose this is just who I am. I dont consider myself as talented or a natural photographer, I work hard to capture the image the best way I can, but sometimes I'm in the right place at the right time with my camera in hand.
I am autistic, and moderately gifted. I understand the gear better than most, I remember physics and chemistry and technical drawing from sixty years ago. You might hold the phone 30cm from your face and see distortion. I see perspective represented accurately. I know two International Landscape Photographers of of the Year. Nobody makes better landscape photographs to my eye than I do. I shoot the light. I don't put my camera into monochrome preview because the camera doesn't understand light. It sees red and green as pretty much the same. I know they are different. I haven't been to England. I think your old churches and pubs would be pretty easy, ours are. I'm also happy with modern buildings, it's all about the light. I've been asked whether I specialise in macro photography or flower photography. Like buildings, it's all in the light. I do a lot of monochrome conversions where others only see colour. I asked Google whether autism affects photography. "No," it said. But further questioning, we look longer and see more. Perhaps we also see quicker. I'm claiming, "Yes, it does." I looked at some photos recently, from Xmas mid 70s. My skills are better, but otherwise nothing much has changed. I use fuulframe and M43 cameras for different results. With my S1R, I get 50 megapixels hand-held, single shot, with no compromise, or 187 megapixels high resolution on a tripod. And I get to use TS-E lenses. My E-M1x hase live ND and GPS and two batteries for (much needed) longer life. My E-M1 II lacks those features. My Lumix G9 does high resolution faster than Olympus. The Lumix cameras make a standard resolution file, just in case, when doing high resolution. With the E-M1x hand held, if it doesn't stitch I have nothing. I don't understand emotion, story, composition in photos. I like what I do, if you do too that's a bonus, but inessential.
Good thoughts there, Brian. I love monochrome, especially when produced with dark black shadows. Provides atmosphere. I’ve seen pictures of those bridges and wondered how on earth anyone can take photos of them in colour as they seem to be so bright or pale. Monochrome definitely neutralises the colours. Would love to see the photo you mentioned! I’m learning to be more creative. A friend is a total creative who just looks and takes wonderful pictures. I have to work a little harder. I follow Paul T’s channel,cause you said we should, so I did, and am glad I did. Have a Happy Easter - all the way from Oz!
When I went to night school after being there in the day at my secondary school back in the 90s, my art teacher was quite talented in black and white photography, but that was bigger back in them days, i think. He used a nikon FM2 with a nikkor 35mm f1.4 lens, he use to use a red filter for effect. His name was Mr White. LOL
Pleased I have come across your channel. I love landscape photography and I think it’s important to see the scene through the focal length of different lenses. Perspective makes all the difference to me And a good lens choice helps balance out images We had an exercise at my local camera club where we split up in to groups and were given four photos each and had to put them in order 1-4 Brilliant exercise to get a discussion going. The fact is no one is wrong, its all about personal taste Great subject to talk about Enjoying your videos
My 11yr shocked me and made me wonder if he's a natural. I just got back into photography a couple months ago, after a decade plus. I do mostly some landscapes and a bit of travel. So I've never showed him anything else. He asked to take some shots with my camera so I let him take it out to the neighborhood. He came back with some beautiful macro shots of a flowering tree next door and some great shots of birds. Few great shots of his 16mo brother. The tree I've looked at 2-3 times a day walking the dog but never seen. He missed the focus on a few because the camera was setup in 9 point center, but otherwise nicely composed. So I bought him an old bridge camera and we are going to start some photo walks.
I think we all have these natural talents for some things. Some of us for a few things, others for only one thing. Regardless of that we should strive to excel in what we are gifted at. That will make a big difference. I’m good at a couple of things but I’m trying my hand at photography now that I’m retired. I’ve always felt attracted to it but now I’m going to see how good (or bad) I’m at it. Hope it works.
Well, I don't worry about what other people think anymore. I've noticed, that back when I uploaded a lot more photos to Instagram etc. the photos I liked and had good expectations regarding views and likes about never did well, while some photos I thought were just okay, did much better. So I just shoot what I like. But, I am very deliberate about how I shoot. Naturally gifted is not a term I would use about myself - regarding anything in fact (perhaps with the exception of nitpicking over large data sets at work).
Some very interesting thoughts you have put across Brian. I follow many nature photographers and often ask myself how they got such an incredible shot. One who I closely follow has shown how he takes a mundane but well composed shot and makes it "pop" using lightroom and photoshop. So I think many can get a well composed shot but make it brilliant in post 😉😉
Photography is very subjective. I do find composition is the most difficult aspect of photography, what I see sometimes is not reflected in the image, nevertheless I keep on going because sometimes it’s all about the journey.
Do you think it's "natural" or just the experience of having taken a lot of images and not having to think about certain aspects anymore? It might be a bit lit muscle memory, where it seems like you're doing something instinctively, but it's the result of practicing. About your question on whether I think about whether people like my images or not. I would love to say I don't care, but the truth is, I do care to some extent. But I don't look at my photos thinking: Will this get a lot of likes or, if printed out and hanging on the wall: Will people admire it? My focus is: What do I like? Most of the time, images that I like, others like too. And if not, I can live with it. I am very much technical as well I think. I needed to get the technical side fixed first, before I could even start getting somewhat creative.
100% this. I absolutely dislike it when people say: „Oh, you are so gifted. I would like to have the same talent.“ And in reality there are 10 years of sweat, tears and sleepless nights behind that.
@@thomasa.243 Brian is correct to distinguish between talent/gift and skill. Skill is only obtained through practice, that's how people become competent drivers. But you don't become a top level F1 driver without the gift.
@@oneeyedphotographer But that's exactly the question I raised. Is the result of the described photographer due to talent or due to skill? We don't know, we can't know. It's almost an insult to tell people their results is because of their talent and not recognizing the work behind it. Without obtaining skill, talent is worth nothing. And how much talent is required to gain any level of expertise is quite a philosophical question. Nothing we are able to measure.
@@Sven-R I would not necessarily call that talent but it is more the interest in that specific thing. Of course, if we are talking about sports, some people just have genetic benefits, e.g. size, body shape, arm length, etc. but if you want to learn something, you will do it. And if you are not interested in that specific thing, you will not learn it.
We’ll have to agree to disagree, my subscribers to me are worth everything as they are the people most likely to watch my videos. I subscribe to other people’s channels for various reasons.

I think some photographers have an intuition for composition that can’t be explained.
Totally agree April
I don't understand composition. Others tell me it's good.
Planned, Lucky, or Natural… I think it is a bit of all three. I sure wish I was a natural.
