NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Photographer Ira Block PHOTO TIPS!

We head to NYC to get photography tips from National Geographic photographer Ira Block! Ira is a Sony Artisan with DECADES of experience. You know those National Geographic magazines you used to look through as a kid? Some of those photos were his. He's honed his craft over decades and he freely shares everything he knows!

I always love seeing these videos with the photographer actually out in the field instead of talking about tech specs in the studio. Great choice of photographer too, Ira was awesome to watch :)

Note: not all of the pictures are Ira's.
He doesn't typically take animal photos (the dogs were mine. His would have been much better)

Also, we're both wearing black leather jackets and look very very cool 😎

" You can't be lazy as a photographer "
I think it's true for everyone who wants to do *great things* in arts or while creating something..
Very interesting video!
*Thanks for sharing the meeting with beginers like me* !

"Zoom with your feet." Worth the price of admission right there.

[Poverello]

Zoom with your feet is great advice. I damaged my "go to" zoom lens a couple months ago and haven't replaced it. Rather, I use my 28mm and 50mm primes and haven't looked back. It has forced me to think more about composition and find new angles to take my photos.

I could have used another hour of that.

[Bearhawk]

Very good job, Chelsea! I am proud of you.

[Cesar-htuz]

I want more of this types of videos. Loved it!

1/250 sec shutter speed and don't be concerned about the ISO when taking candid pics of people. "Once your picture is blurred you have to throw it out anyway." What a great tip as I've missed great shots getting lost in what my ISO is. Auto ISO baby! I love this interview and could have watched it for hours. Thanks to the T & C Team for this interview with Ira. Great stuff.

Very nice video, I wish it would have been longer because Ira seems super cool.

Chelsea you can really look happy as you were interacting with him. Full attention, love it, almost like awe struck. We need a full Wanderlust with him too!

[joeyeti]

MORE like this! Short and informative. I don't have the attention span or bandwidth to sit through long videos and hope I learn something. This one delivered. Thanks.
