I really enjoy your videos In the wild wild west world of YouTube photography, and all the self appointed "experts", yours is one of the best videos consistently that I watch Your simple, practical and down to earth content should be watched by anyone who has an interest in improving their skills This video in particular really hits a home run in my book I try and do exactly what you have presented here whenever and as often as I can Keep up the good work and the great videos!

Im inspired ❤ Comment from : @alanmurphy9263 |

Love your videos but the AI generated stock footage is super unerving and cheapens your work It’s especially horrible because it’s contrasted against the beautiful real life photos you use as reference I feel like the AI stuff belongs on a different channel But love your work just a suggestion about the AI stuff cause it’s so off putting Comment from : @PopPopPop666 |

It was seeing the opportunities for photographs, and the shots that i wanted to capture, that led me to pick up a camera Comment from : @cornfield755 |

I'm a beginning photographer, at least when it comes to speaking and thinking in terms of aperture, ISO, shutter speed, etc- or even interchangeable lensesbrBut have been shooting pics for years with a long-reach Canon P&S and 'playing photographer' while taking some halfway decent images and even enjoying many of my very unprofessional shots of fun subjects or weird perspectives It's just my fidget to maintain sanity and has also given my a precious visual diary of the last couple decadesbrbrBut I've always thought as an artist, it's always been a fascinating game to me brI judge and award each scene I encounter or image I capture with unspecific points for subject, color, composition, mood, story, pattern, texture My own amateur and unapologetic criteriabrSo much fun and I play even when without a camera- always hunting with my eye for those potential sparks of beauty or interest makes me thankful for even the moments I can't keepbrI finally got a mirrorless Fujifilm and a zoom to chase birds, squirrels, trees and flowers So much FUN though I barely know how to run it yet!

I've been a working pro for over 40 years To all those starting out, thinking of starting out, or just 'like to take pictures' THIS video is what you should watch Thanks mate Great ideas and video Two things I would add to his great suggestions 1) After taking his advice and start seeing these things, the next step is: TURN AROUND You'd be amazed at what you may be missing And 2) Take a knee It changes perspective and can turn a 'good' photo into a great one Comment from : @rp-9866 |
|
These are very interesting points! Thank you Comment from : @vancouverbluesea |
|
I used to carry around an old metal rear mound so I could hold it up to compose pictures It was kinda cool for practice Comment from : @DSG0805 |
|
I am going to take a guided tour The dilemma I have is I want to be wowed and not spoiled, but I also need to prepare and have some idea what the place look like so I have a better chance to take the photo I want Comment from : @Ryomichi |

|
creating photograph sketches before and just getting your ideas ahead of time and tuning into the moments as wellbrbrDid you ever practice these things if you weren’t working in photography, full-time ?brI just am curious I think it’s my mind but does everyone have trouble transitioning like you said, if you don’t do it full-time how do you do it part-time just slowing down of everything and the meditative nature of that is hard if you’re not devoting your full-time hours to it but it’s not impossible, right?

I do this all day, and especially when out walking, driving, or shopping It drives the wife mad, but it always amazes her if I show her a shot of the most mundane of things, and even more so when I think in black and white, or explain how a shot would look in Infrared Comment from : @kiwipics |

|
Also wanted to say sometimes I don’t even take the photos because I love enjoying seeing the moment happen in real time Comment from : @Fuegoshotz |
|
Once you start doing this you can’t stop haha I’ll squint my eyes, close one eye, use my fingers as a frame and sometimes imagine what things would look like in my head as if I’m gonna take a photo I love it because you see the world in this whole new perspective Comment from : @Fuegoshotz |
|
As a professional photographer, I feel like I need to push back your first sentence I don't "practice my photography" as much as I'd like That's mainly due to work commitments taking up my time This includes shooting (lots of video too) and it also included editing and admin work When I had a regular job, I feel like I had much more time to practice on weekends and after working hours during the week Comment from : @yuriajones |
|
“Start to think photographically” ……key to our success!!!! Comment from : @iSleepDoc |
|
8:55 hope that didn't leave a nasty mark 😬 Comment from : @jinjinweiwei |
|
Unpopular opinion: everything you said, sound so gibberish to me How you feel about a picture is pretty subjective and a lot of the pictures you shared here are average at best I see why some people like them also others who would roll their eyes You can frame any theory on your mind, when you test that theory, some pictures are going to be nice, most would be garbage There’s definitely spontaneity involved in all the pictures taken Comment from : @niranjand4238 |
|
Good stuff Mom used to say, “if you’re bored, you must be boring!” I’m 63 now, and for more than fifty years I’ve been looking through one lens or another, always trying to capture what others don’t see Mom’s 85, and never bored 😁 Comment from : @georgebrudos3068 |

I like the quote from minor white, who said sit and be still with the object of your attention until it acknowledges your presence Comment from : @RussellOMara |

I’m in the midst of a 6 week photography challenge via an instagram contact 3 photos in 3 hours type of thing, and after uploading my 3 chosen for this week, I looked at them and thought, ‘have I advanced with my photography or am I still taking somewhat boring images’? I’ve jotted notes from your video Alex and will give this a run over Christmas! Thankyou! Comment from : @GregJorgo |
|
I am really enjoying going back and watching your earlier videos, Alex, as a particular subject of interest manifests itself I am pleased to have discovered your channel Comment from : @AliasJimWirth |

Great video, another on added to my extensive library Comment from : @andrewcroft2570 |
|
Thank you for these kinds of videos I'm newer to photography and see this mindset of you either have it from the start or you don't ("the eye'), but the way you explain how you explain it makes it clear to me it's 100 something that can and will develop if you put the proper work and love into it Comment from : @shysbeingshy |

I’m 73 The older EyE gets, the more EyE’m drawn to the beauty in the mundane, the small essential sights I’ve miss takenly passed by most of my life, blinded by the more “magnificent” Nowadays I find myself focused on cracks/well worn patterns on sidewalks, partial pipe protruding portions, the rustier, the better, proportions of ordinary people posing ordinary captures… don’t know how I missed all of this, EyE must have been blind 👁️ Comment from : @raymeedc |

Cartier-Bresson didn’t have a dslr He had a set number of shots per film canister…hence the decisive moment Comment from : @Cali62825 |
|
Good advice indeed I cut out a small rectangle (2x3 format that I shoot) out of a piece of mat and hold it before my eyes, move it around, bring it in closer and farther, and practice framing images for composition and that helped me a great deal Thanks for your videosI've watched quite a few Comment from : @TooLooseLeTrek |
|
This is one of the most inspiring video with advices that I've seen in a very long time And the examples of pictures you used there are excelent Comment from : @tragikomediant4278 |
|
For years I've been taking pictures without a camera It usually happens when I'm driving and can't safely stop to grab my gear I snap pictures in my mind noting scenes as I speed by red barns and wandering fences, backgrounds with mountains and clouds, great lighting, and unique compositions I tell myself that I'll someday return, but I never do It's just a fun exercise thanks for the video !

Been watching your vids for a while and whenever I go out for regular everyday events I look around to see things and sometimes my wife asks what I am looking at and I reply just things to photograph, she is getting it now after she sees my photos Comment from : @laxcdn |

I'm not sure what that image beginning at 8:50 is supposed to tell me, or make me think of, but I don't find it a decent or compelling image at all Am I not "getting it" Comment from : @craig_m_mi |

It was Ansel Adams' landscapes that inspired my B&W affliction but it was HCB's subject matter that made me want to be a documentary shooter I was fortunate, late in life, to spend a decade (1998-2008) as a newspaper shooter One of the most fun jobs I ever had! I got to go play every day! Comment from : @richardowen4558 |
