Tip number 4 is so important. I agree it is often overlooked. I work on this all the time but I havde a long way to go. One of the things that has helped me with this is I have stopped breaking out my wide angle lens every single grand vista I see. I take a long lens approach more often and I am able to get a simpler, cleaner image that actually focuses on the subject. Great video.

Hi Tom. I think those 4 tips pretty much says it all! Especially the last tip. One that I am guilty of overlooking. Thanks

Noted about exposing for the scene's highlights but how do you feel about exposing to the right (without blowing the highlights of course) so that your shadows are better and you don't need to bring them up during post-processing (cause the shadows are the noisiest parts of a picture), and then bring down the highlights during post-processing. I suppose with todays full sensor advanced cameras the shadows are not as noisy. So I wonder if you think exposing to the right worths the hassle. On a related matter I think I'm exposing for what I see and the highlights in it and so on; but 9/10 times during post-processing I find myself bringing up the shadows and bring down the highlights (even at ISO 100). I have a 6D and a 7DII not the best dynamic range out there but I wonder if I'm doing something consistently wrong (hence my first question). It is strange that when I shoot a scene the histogram and the jpg at the back of the camera look OK but then in post-processing I always find I go for the aforementioned kind of edit. Your lights would be greatly appreciated. Carry on the good work.
