For some reason everyone talks about the rule of leading lines but the idea behind why it is important has been completely lost. Your not trying to lead the viewers eye anywhere.........like the person viewing can't figure out what the subject of your photo is by themselves. {That would be thinking very little of your viewer} The concept of leading lines is to create movement in your still image. To create realistic art it must come alive in the viewers eye so as to a reminder of the journey that they themselves are undertaking. . Your Visual Pattern series is a wonderfully deep treasure trove of inspiration. Gods speed. RD Williams
I love hearing you break down the abstract ideas and other elements in photography. I think you do it best. Even with all the "photography experts" that youtube shoves in our face 😂
Please continue this! I really don't understand why it doesn't have at least 1 mil views, but don't let this fact discourage you. Your channel and they way you explain its pure gold, sincere congratulations 🙏
Sean Tucker for artistry and philosophy of why photography. Your videos for actual solid practical techniques. Amazing series. I am literally taking notes while I am watching, and just from the first two videos, already upping my street photography and daily photography game. Thanks so much for this bro. No bullshit. No hype. No fluff. No clickbait. None of that influencer-type stuff.
immediately noticed the leading lines in your shot composition while you were doing your outro, the perspective angle of the shelves and decorations, and not to mention the line that the practical light casts on the wall behind you, great lesson
Hi Pat, I'm Robert and I am new to your channel. At some point could you talk a little about how you decide on your camera len choices. Mainly which focal length and type of lens and why. Also, it would be nice if you could share your camera setting for your image examples. Thank you much.
Hey there! Hope i'm not being nosy but thought you could get your answers here; Pat made a video ranking lenses - th-cam.com/video/BvFcXSy88go/w-d-xo.html
perhaps in a different video or different series. gear choice and settings aren't at all relevant to visual patterns, so i don't really want to mix the two together. let me know if you want to know something specific though and i'll try work something out for you!
I just want to second other comments here. The thoughtfulness and depth of concept learning you provide is exceptional. It is not the norm for You Tube but it is very welcome and unique. Keep up the good work. I look forward to each new discussion. Thanks for the effort.
I genuinely thought leading lines were just for guiding your eyes towards vanishing points, like your mount Fuji and your friend on the rail trwck photos; this video really taught me a lot, so thank you for including it in this series
i really like to see your photos, i was so happy that the image examples kept going so i could see more of them! that sand dune one🌟and nz glacial runoff one and the long road with mount fuji looming above and the chap walking with the railway shadow and the fantastic snowstorm - glad you did fly your drone in it!☺️..really, all of them, so wonderful. enjoyed the explanation of the various kinds of leading line and methods to use them. thank you!
Awesome. I enjoyed the concept that leading lines conduct the viewer to an area to "rest the eyes". Previously, I had the concept that the lines would lead straight to the subject, or to a vanishing point, but that is not the case with the "encapsulate" example
Thanks for the video 🙏 One thing I think is always useful in these kinds of "visual eye-training" videos is showing bad examples along with good ones. Sometimes it could be so insightful that it would be treated like a miraculous revelation. I saw a video somewhere on YT a long time ago, where the photographer took a 21:9 photo of a landscape that wasn't really... working. But the moment he shrank the frame to a vertical format and found a couple of lines to focus on - it turned out to be one of the most memorable pictures I've seen.
I remember in 7th grade when I was in photography class, the teacher told us about leading lines, and everyone took it so literally. At least I did. I didn't realize leading lines don't actually have to be like physically in the photograph.
Never really thought about leading lines before. Usually whatever stands out in the picture is the subject, don't really need lines. This is playful and an aspect to photography.
Super helpful! I’ve heard it explained a little and intuited it from looking at photography but having actually explained and shown examples at a high level is much more helpful!
Hi hi! Really enjoyed your videos thanks to your clear explanation and kinda giving us insights with all the experiences you have. I know this episode is about leading lines, but would you say that besides this, you have also incorporated other visual patterns? such as frames or spaces or anything? would love you hear you talk about a mixture of everything!

Amazing content. thank you for taking the time to explain something so "basic" yet so fundamental.

yeah! not every technique is so black and white and there are always creative ways to use them!
Thank you very much
Thank you!
Loved the first two videos. This one was on point. Thanks for putting this out. Looking forward to the next one.
