Thank you for this video Its the first time you have come up on my feed and I thoroughly enjoyed your simple explaination on what can be a very tricky subject for many out in the field I work on a film set as a film extra, and I often see the this technique employed by filmakers: Long shot taking the whole scene in, medium shot taking in sections that are less confusing but complimentary, and close up really focussing on the subject you want to pay attention to This isn't so easy with expensive film to pay out for, but with digital its easier since restrictions are not so tight You can gently hone in without the fear of 'getting it wrong' since all shots are on the memory card either as scouting shots, or to refine the composition when in front of the pc All the time you try that, you are learning what works and what doesnt, but you've lost nothing by taking as much as you can when you are not so sure

Another great video Ian Just a thought on the subscriber aspect, I’m a subscriber to your channel but I just watched this one without signing into Google / YouTube - so although I’m a subscriber my viewing may show in the analytics as a non subscriber view, which could potentially mean you have way more subscribers than your analytics are showing but not all of them are signed in when they are watching? If that makes sense?

Look at what to safely exclude Brilliant concept Must try it The last photo was simply beautiful
Comment from : @kenhenley7599

Hi Ian, a fantastic video, buddy! I absolutely agree: it is not difficult to include the right things, we should focus on what to exclude I also made a video about that topic some time ago, as that is so important to get a strong photobrEnjoy your Sunday,brChristian

Enjoyed your video Ian although not when you showed the poop as I was about to take a mouthful of my dinner! Looks a really lovely area you were at & look forward to seeing if you manage to go back again when light better :)

No light no colors

A question Why did you not take the image of the stream and white cottage at the end? For me a composition should work with or without decent light I do a lot of scouting in poor light and find I get much better compositions as I am not distracted by the light

I am amazed that this channel doesn't have more subs It's so useful! This subtraction idea is something I've been trying to work on recently One place I find it really difficult is in a forest scene I do a lot of hiking and I often find it really hard to make an image that I see in my mind because of all of the clutter in the woods Loved that black and white image of the cove I almost always have my X-T3 in a BNW simulations for shooting I like seeing the scene that way Thanks for taking us along and for all of the tips! Have a great weekend

There's also a skill in mastering the opposite of all the topics that you discussed in your video, Ian - making a crowded, messy scene look good for example A good approach is to remember that pretty much everything is possible in Photography

Cool Video Ian, even if you have too work a lot caused by the weather 😂
Comment from : @Maximus0389

Regarding the watch vs subscribe thing, I think I subscribed a bit over a year ago, even though I’m not a big fan of landscape photography and I shoot on film exclusively I subscribed because I find your approach/ delivery very pleasant, not too “preachy”, and your advice is really good in that the same techniques apply to almost any type of photography With so many new photographers just beginning their journeys, they’ll do well to take your information to heart Cheers!

Great subject explained clearly, equally great images

I’ve been watching and learning from you for quite some time, but didn’t realize I hadn’t subscribed I just did…didn’t hurt one bit! Lol

Ian, I always enjoy seeing your commitment and enthusiasm for the craft I find your presentation quite instructive Thank you, as always, for sharing your knowledge and skills Love receiving your newsletter Cheers
Comment from : @DanaPushie

I like the fact that you don't beg for likes and subs It's a real turn off for me with other channels If your content is good, people will subscribe, as I did, a while ago 😊
Comment from : @johndouglas1343

Great video
Comment from : @Coloradohiker658

Rick Sammon often says "Light illuminates, shadows define" I find that really helps me, and it goes well with the back lighting challenge you had early in the video You really have a great knack for making concepts very practical Nicely done!

I have subscribed your channel long back :-)

The icebow was amazing, great in B&W too! Enjoyed walking in Wales with you and not getting cold (I also don't understand why folk don't subscribe if they enjoy content)
Comment from : @the_rat_run

Another top video Ian Thanks for keeping it real with the photography content too There's a gang of UK photographers who are a shining light in Youtube world
Comment from : @djstuc

Another really solid video Like many of us, I have a pretty solid understanding of the technical aspects of photography, but composition continues to be the biggest challenge I like your step back/zoom in tip Going to give that a try Also compisition by subtraction is a different thought process I usually look at a scene and ask myself what I want to add to my photo I’m going to give that new thought process a try as well All the best Ian!
Comment from : @dirkgibbens377

Lovely photography I do miss Pembrokeshire when I see your photos If you’re ever in Portugal let me know and I can show you some places
Comment from : @X-ADV750-k2b

I really enjoyed this video I struggle with composition and specifically spending enough rime to truly set up the best shot I can get from a scene However, videos like this one are excellent for showing the how and why of setting these shots up properly I am getting more patient and doing better thanks to you and others sharing information & knowledge, thank you And that B&W pano was spectacular!
