What a great twist; I typically see RU-vidrs critique their followers images and for the most part their opinions are debatable. However, to see so many professionals critique a fellow professional is incredibly exciting and truly educational. To apply the critiques at the end was not only bold but shows us how a great teacher must also be a good student. I hope to see more of these videos.

@NigelDanson Год назад

Thanks so much!

Hey Nigel, that was an absolute blast and an honor to take part in. Thanks so much for including me :)

I admire your bravery to let these studs give you their advice. It was interesting to hear them often say similar critiques about similar concerns. When watching, I often thought, geez, I've got sooooo much to learn. You're an amazing photographer as they all know. Thanks for letting yourself be vulnerable. It is impressive.

@bernds.7530 Год назад

Thanks - I have to admit it is scary doing this. But I want to keep improving and there is always something to learn.

@Bubu567 Год назад

If three professionals have the same critique, you have to listen, no matter how much you disagree. That doesn't happen by chance. They know something you don't, so it's best to listen.

@lesladbrook4508 Год назад

What a brilliant video and tutorial, the level of detail in the comments was amazing and very constructive. Such a privilege to be able to view this content Nigel. I am going to save a link to this video so I can watch again & again, some really important points I am sure I can add to my processing. The edits were also great and I loved them.

@tomfoord8860 Год назад

Wow! It would be great if there were more of this! Hearing constructive suggestions from a group of professionals, on the work of a professional photographer, and having familiarity with all involved, and then comparing one's own opinions, is not just informative but also a chance to affirm and enrich one's own opinions and, hopefully, skills. Thank you for this very generous gift. Hats off to you.

@Jeff-jg7jh Год назад

But, this was four really good photographers. Good eyes. There was a husband and wife team who used to do this on their channel and they had no idea what they were doing.

@maeganlozano7058 Год назад

I agree. I do not have experience in photography whatsoever (other than a thousand pictures of my cats on my phone) but even this got me hooked! I looooove this video. I think its so interesting. Thank you Mr. Nigel. You are amazing! Hope to see more of this!!

@afsincelik Год назад

How incredible that top photographers' ideas are nearly same for some photos. I recommend to the people who are watching; just pause the video in the beginning of each photo and think about it and then watch their critics. Great video as always.

@kennygo8300 Год назад

This is one of the best videos I've ever watched. I admire all of you so much. It helps me to see the difference in how all of you see the same scene. Thank you for posting this one. I learn more from these collaborations.

I'm an amateur photographer who's been practicing and learning for 10 years and messing around with Photoshop for literally 20 years and when Alex talks I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of understanding how all this works.

yeah, the way he understands the subtle changes in color as even minor changes are made is pretty incredible.

@gordonmacgregor7762 Год назад

Not only courageous Nigel, but incredibly entertaining and informative. Simply brilliant, one of your best videos. Thanks also to your reviewers, all of them great photographers we admire and respect. You couldn’t set the bar for yourself any higher!

@grahamfloyd3451 Год назад

I agree that in the first picture of the heather, the subject (the thing your eye is drawn to) is the big bare rock. My biggest challenge in Lightroom is minimizing my edits so the photo stays natural, and not just a digital painting.

@AdventureswithPeteJenna Год назад

That was a lot of fun to go through! Tips from everyone were definitely helpful to think about while making an image. One thing I was thinking, and this doesn’t always apply buutttt I feel like sometimes in photography if you try to be too perfect, too symmetrical and too balanced you can lose character, sometimes the imperfections are what makes an image great and unique. Not always but I think it’s important to remember when crafting an image as well.

@justbored3.14 Год назад

what i've learned in the past tens years of photography is that someone will always find something wrong with your picture. I used to stress about following all these rules and examples and tips and tricks. now i take what i like do what i like and most people love it.

@vandalton4948 Год назад

ditto. A photograph should not need an explanation. No one need to articulate why they like a photograph. If the viewers can connect for any of the reasons, be it the subject matter, beautiful light, nice composition, combination of all these and so on it is a successful photograph.

@tobiasyoder Год назад

@@vandalton4948 sometimes an explanation of the thought behind a photo and how it came about and it’s significance can help people view the image from a closer perspective of the author of the photograph and I don’t think that’s any mark against the image.

@vandalton4948 Год назад

@@tobiasyoder I believe what you said applies to documentary photographs where context is very important. For general street photography, landscape photography no explanation should be required.

@tobiasyoder Год назад

@@vandalton4948 Pretty bold statement to say what a certain type of photography should be. I also don’t think there is any hard distinction between documentation and artistic photography, it’s all blurred and overlapping. If you consider a great painting of some sort that you don’t initially love, having an explanation that helps you to see it from a new angle and appreciate isn’t an issue with the painting and not because the painting is documentary. Additionally I think photography is inherently somewhat documentary since the definition is creating an image by documenting light at a given point in time but I digress.

@vandalton4948 Год назад

@@tobiasyoder I don't want to compare photography with painting at all. These two are very different forms of art. Painting can be abstract, it may not represent anything real or the painting may not resemble to anything we see. On the other hand, photographs are very real, there is nothing imaginary here. Anyways, everyone's perception or thought process is different and I respect other's opinion. I just have a very rigid idea when it comes to photography probably because I have been following and practicing this form of art for many years.

@_noahrh Год назад

That woodland picture was like a wave of cool air coming through my laptop! So serene and peaceful - it really looks like a painting. Masterful work, I wouldn't change a thing!

@andeeleininger5968 Год назад

Great video, Nigel. It’s always scary to have your photos critiqued but I learned a lot from this video, so a big thanks to you for being brave. I also like the newer crop on the Iceland photo

@MrLipsky Год назад

In 22:36 Alex is talking about individual channels being blown up and consequences of it. Mind blowing thing for me as an intermediate in photo editing. Looking forward to seeing the video you promised! haha Great reviews and insight everyone!

I also really found the comments about colour editing fascinating. Very detailed constructive feedback. So thanks to all your reviewers too.

@MarkSiegemund Год назад

Defense is my first response when people critique my Photographs. Until i realize there is so much truth in an unbiased voice. We should grave improvement our whole life. Thanks Nigel. Great work and you are a great inspiration!

@gordonelwell7084 Год назад

So at first I noticed a 32 minute video, and wasn't sure if I wanted to spend that much time listening to folks banter on about editing and critiquing. I am REALLY glad I did! Your photos are really great, but this told me there is always another perspective. I even tried to anticipate what their critiques were going to be when you first loaded your image. Most of the time my first thought was what they focused on in their comments. This encouraged my own confidence in my skill set on image editing. So thanks much for an unusual Sunday video, and one more helpful than I anticipated. Cheers!

@thevisualkiwi Год назад

I love that you invited other photographers to help on your quest to improve your photography and give us great content! I feel like the next level would be bringing in more diverse cast of photographers that bring unique and new viewpoints and ideas!

@MohcineJabairi Год назад

It's very interesting to see how they all point on the same things. A lesson to all of us amateurs and beginners to what to avoid and what to focus on / at!

@randscottadams490 Год назад

What a wonderful video! This foray into the very fine points of image making / editing, intelligently done, with respect for the vagaries of “being there to take the shot” is so very instructive. What a wonderful idea to have your peers comment and reflect on your images. This is also a master class on constructive input.

@eyeammjh Год назад

Superb video. 10/10 for sticking your neck out here. And 10/10 for the quality of the feedback from another 4 fantastic photographers.

@brendanwaters9646 Год назад

Such an interesting video and the thing that inspires me the most is that a photographer as awesome as you is still wanting to learn and improve and seek feedback. As always, inspired by your videos, thank you!

@VinceMaidens Год назад

I wish more photographers would do this, it's very hard to continually see your own work and expect to improve without constructive feedback, so good on you for doing so. I'm lucky to have people in my life who are also photographers who have no qualms about ripping my work apart haha

@donquique1 Год назад

Nah to the contrary, it will mess up your style and voice.

@TheJwwinter Год назад

@@donquique1 If at all constructive feedback must be from regular people not other photographers or pros. Photographers usually have a certain similar way of looking at things.

@tTLM823 Год назад

Fantastic video and instructions, Nigel! The edits plussed an already amazing set of photos. But perhaps most impressive of all is your absolute humility to allow this critique. Good on you, and thank you for all you do.

@vincealcazar2870 Год назад

Don't care how long you've been in it, (publicly) submitting your best work to other Pro's takes humility. Top marks for that Nigel.

@NigelDanson Год назад

Thanks

@peters1324 Год назад

Perhaps one of the best videos I've seen regarding the key elements of creating great photos in terms of composition, cropping and colour balancing. Though there was a lot of agreement about some aspects that might improve the final image, there was also much reflecting personal preferences and I like the way Nigel distinguished between the two. Great work Nigel and as others mention...very brave of you too.

@timkuhnwildlife Год назад

I love this exercise and change of pace, kudos to you, Nigel, for giving it a go. However I will say that this is exactly what photo forums were all about pre-instagram. I miss those days.

@gregsilver Год назад

I'm a fan of technical criticism. I like hearing things that could help my process of editing. Not a fan of artistic criticism. The reason being is you can recieve varying opinions which takes away from your own style. Bottom line, you're not going to please everyone. If you like your work, then that's all that matters. Nigel, I love your work simply because it's from you and your mind. Don't change anything. Following others critique will make you second guess your artistic ability. Trust in what you love and it doesn't matter if everyone loves it. There will always be some who like your work and others who don't. My only critique for you is to ignore all artistic critique.

@frantisekjavorsky8172 Год назад

wtf

@danevarkevisser4670 Год назад

I understand where you are coming from Greg. We have to be careful not to stifle creativity and ultimately artistic expression. One criticism I have of a lot contemporary landscape photography is so much of it is the same. I like to see photographers who stand out from the crowd - who are doing something that sets them apart.

@kstrohmeier Год назад

Kudos, this is great. I love the consistency of the critiques. The comments on color and color balance point to an area I struggle with. Incorporating the inputs into new edits is both brilliant and useful.

@yourstarwillshine Год назад

I think you hit the nail on the head about improving yourself by having others give feedback it's something we should all embrace. I found myself taking images but felt I was becoming a one trick pony with my editing and composition. Although I get knowledge and inspiration for people like your good self, there's nothing better than sharing your work with other photographers it's the main reason I joined my local photography society and I'd encourage others to do so it's a great library to reference.............really enjoyed this Nigel thanks for having the balls to do it.

@-grey Год назад

This was refreshing. Hearing pros talk about realistic edits, and colour accuracy is very comforting. I love absolute raw realism, because it adds such a subjective value to my photography for me. I find it so rewarding to have captured a spectacular thing that exists rather than manufacture it.

@CDGage Год назад

I feel the same. I don’t enjoy editing my photos to hell and back. I like the shot for what is already there, and if someone asks me (which they have) where that was, I can tell them and I won’t have to worry about them not being amazed as well because it’s something that actually exists to begin with. I usually do make the colors pop more and even out the lighting but not too much to give it more flair but usually with my landscape shots that’s about it

@centurion1916 Год назад

Such a great idea to review and reflect on our images. Some of history’s greatest painters would often paint over their original work before the final ‘masterpiece’ was presented. In the same way today, are we ever ‘finished’ with our digital work? I think the final Vestrahorn crop helps to emphasise the mountain much more.

@L.Spencer Год назад

I liked those two last crops, so pretty 😍

I enjoyed this very, very much. Would like to see more along the same lines in the future with the same cast members. It's valuable to all of us out here to hear and see everyone's different thoughts and ideas on editing and composition. I'm probably the worst in the world about getting stuck in a particular editing style and seeing everything I should and it's really refreshing to hear all of your inputs in one excellent video.

@johnmajors1449 Год назад

Loved all the commentary from the other Pros, it really helps everyone to get pointers on composition, and gives all of us in RU-vid land exposure to others to follow, and possibly purchase some of their works. I'm still amazed how many friends who are aspiring photographers who won't share their work with others because they are afraid it is not perfection.

This may be my favorite video you have done. I always get value out of your channel, but this one may be the most helpful to someone like me that is in their early stages of photography (1-2 years). Gaining a better understanding of the very small details that other pay attention to can only help me going forward. Great video Nigel. Putting yourself out there for all of us to see and hear the critique is amazing. Thank you!

Every photographer should find other photographers that are willing to give an honest critiques.

@lindaaulicino1025 Год назад

This was such a relevant video for me. The consistency among the group was very impressive! I get very attached to my images and do have a difficult time with critique, especially as it often seems so subjective. And yet, once I calm down a bit, I usually do find something to take away that will improve the image. It also helps me at times to crystallize what it is that I am trying to convey. I also liked that ultimately, you chose the critiques that fit with your vision of your image. While improvements can definitely be made, in the end, they are subjective. Those that help improve my intent can sometimes be more important than those that simply improve the technical aspects of the photo. I hope you do more of these! Would love to learn more about the color channels as well!

A truly informative video. There is so much to learn here. I found the consistency in the feedback pretty interesting. I really struggle in editing and getting the color right. So much to learn here! Thank you for executing on this idea. Very helpful.

as a walker who loves photography, I LOVE that rock in the photo. Even though I'm currently sat in bed, I can 'feel' the abrasive and rough texture under my feet, and know the exact sound and sensation it makes compared with the distinct 'thud' from walking on the hard peaty path next to it. It triggers the senses I have experienced walking this terrain, giving me context and transporting me into the scene, which to me is a far more rewarding experience than the perfect composition to the eye. I totally understand what the photographers are critiquing, and I can fully appreciate it: but the very thing they're critiquing is what makes the photo so relatable and triggers such a response in me. Your videos have really showed me just how subjective photography is!

This was so interesting, thanks Nigel. Its pretty brave getting some of these masters to critique your work. I'd personally be embarrassed to show these guys any photo I've ever taken. I look at these images and I'm in awe of all of them, the skill it takes to get the settings just right, the wonderful composition, the perfect timing, just everything is perfect to my amateur eyes. Great video mate.
