Photography Composition Techniques that simply work! Try local events to practice your photography!

🎥 ABOUT -
In this video I feature two events that I recently attended purely to use as practice for my photography. Even after 20 years there is no harm in practising and trying new things. I went to a 1940's event and also a Motorcycle show with one aim in mind.
Composition! I took with me my Nikon F3, Ilford FP4 and three lenses as well as a Polarising filter.

Great shots! (and who doesn't love a Spitfire?!?!?). Love how you talk us through your process!!

[danem]

Brilliant shots mate. You have a knack for "war" photography. Whoever arranged that festival(?) ought to commission you for promotional work.

[taterandy]

Great photos i like the motorcycle and the Spitfire ❤!!

[eddyhoughton]

Great video, really sound advice. I'm going to force my daughter to watch at least the first half, as she's learning proper photography at the moment. I love the results with the Ilford FP4. Amazingly, I just tried it for the first time last month in the Pyrenees and got the most spectacular crisp light and dark contrast with it. I was a died in the wool Kodak man until recently. I'll be working more with Ilford in the future.

Great ideas I would love to do something like that but with my luck events like that happens on days I work at my regular job lot of times. Awesome photos!

Hi, Roger.
You are doing a heck of a job with your channel, my friend.
I really enjoy looking at it.
And I love the 50mm, my friend.
And even though I photograph for 35 years I still learn a lot from you, my friend.
Greetings from the Netherlands,
Antoine.

Nice compositions, Roger! I like your play by play, it really makes a viewer feel as if they are there. I have recently been having issues with composition. The last half dozen times I have done an out and about shoot I fail to take my time and really focus on the composition, vanishing point, negative space, etc. Last time I got only 2 blocks from home and shot two rolls of TriX 120 within 30 minutes. Have not developed yet.

Sometimes you just have to take what you get at these events
There are always distractions in the compositions that you just have to embrace
A nice selection here Roger 📷👍

[JoeLopez]

Nice job here. Love the photos.
That’s no ordinary F3 😎

This is another great video keep them coming, This proves you need a a 24 mm Nikkor lens just to get that bit more in the frame.

[stevecooney]

thank you, yet again another great vlog, with ideas

[cnicolo]

Brilliant brilliant brilliant Roger !!! You rock mate! 🍻

[smitbar]

An F3, true classic & my favourite camera

[yorkieinnz]

I don't always comment but I really enjoy your content. You certainly go the extra mile to make them entertaining.

[fremandg]

One of your best videos, always good but this covered so much and a great overall educational experiance.

[erichstocker]

As always a really great video. Thanks for doing these!!!!

[mikesmith-pond]

Nice work as always. You've got more self-control than I do - I would have burned through a dozen rolls at an event like that

[SloopJohnBeeRockabilly]

I actually like the look of your digital shots man. Oh and as a former journalist I feel I have to mention your video title used the word practiCe when it should be practiSe. Always with an s if it’s a verb. I sound like a school teacher 😂😂 Enjoyed the video mate. I go to a fair few 40s and 50s events. Steampunk events are quite popular with photographers now too. 👍📸

[carltanner]

What a pity the Spitty didn't have an engine. You could've gone for a spin in it!!😊

[maciejpietowski]

I’ve never shot 35mm FP4 at ISO 200; I’m guessing it’s a little bit more contrasty but the grain is still okay?
