So... In case it isn't obvious, I haven't quite set up a proper studio look in my new house yet 😅. Hence the constant change in lighting/colour balance (I was using natural light from a window!).

Also, our area has been overrun with flies this week, so although I'd spent about 20 minutes dispatching them before this video, some of the blighters survived and decided to invade my video 😠.

Other than that, I hope you enjoyed it! 😄

Similar tip to number 3, make sure you've got everything you want in the frame, it's very easy to get carried away with the focus, exposure etc and miss the fact that part of the subject/view is just on the border of the frame or even just outside. I used to do this all the time.

The edge thing is something I often failed at. I heard Mads Iversen talking about 'edge patrol' one day and it helped greatly. Bad edges can make what would have been a good photo a snapshot. Although, I do have to remember to do it 🙂

I really like your first tip. Great views don't always equal great photos. You must have a subject.

[JasonLorette]

Completely agree with everything you said, that first one gets me often. Something our eyes think is nice, isn’t always a great photo. 📸😎

This video is going into my photography folder! It’s going to be a very useful video to go back to over and over to remind myself of these valuable points, like checking the edges!! Love the videos mate thanks for sharing. 👍

Some of my favourite shots are my least "liked" pics. Love the vid. Stay true to yourself!

[luisfigueroa]

Thank you for the thought provoking tips. Very well put. 😊

[dennismwallentin]

Excellent! Since I don't live in Patagonia I am not able to shoot epic photos 😉 Thank you for a good reminder about the basics. Pls continue with these kinds of videos, focus on the main objective, i e the photo.

Hi Joshua. I am returning to photography with a DSLR after selling my film cameras many moons ago and just using my phone for Instagram etcetera (I was linked to this video after seeing your review of the K&F tripod). It was good to be reminded of things I already knew but had become complacent about previously when doing photography. I am new to your channel and don't know if its your sense of humour to have an image on your monitor that could be a metaphor that depicts "cant see the wood for the trees" when talking about checking the edge of frame. Anyway, you come across well and your Welsh tones are an advantage for audio/voiceover. I will take a stroll around your channel and IG page over the coming days.Cheers.

Great & helpful tips here, new sub! 🙂

Great video, my only addition would be to have gone deeper with examples of taking pictures of a good view and focusing in on a subject of interest, the narrowing down the view

I hear people talking about memory cards getting corrupted all the time.. Is this something i should worry about when going on a 2 week trip to Norway?

It never happened to me so far and i started photography 2 years ago..

I mean, it would be awful to get home after a 2 week trip only to have all photos be gone.,

That camera standing lens down on the desk is giving me anxiety! Please lay it down. :)

I suppose you might like it if people don’t like your photo. Most people will give lip service compliments and you wonder if they even looked at it. Genuinely critical is actually complimentary. Negativity requires attention and attention is respect. So appreciate the criticism.
