Your content is consistently top quality, privileged to watch this on YT really. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

@snapsbyfox Год назад

Thank you!

@dan6918 Год назад

Really interesting video - I almost see this as the 'science of photography'. As a beginner photographer using x100s, but have been a fan of photography for a while - it's been hard to know why a photo works and why some don't. I'll take a good photo (i.e. with good composition etc.) but won't understand why it works and why it's good, and this is a really good explanation as to why some photos work and some of mine don't!

Thank you!

This channel is one of those hidden gems. While camera equipment review channels might garner higher views, this is the place for those who have learned that it is tough to take quality images and the most advanced equipment out there will not help you do that. I have learned the most invaluable techniques from this channel, things that I could not learn from countless books and videos. Thanks Roman for sharing your wisdom!!

@ajayv5562 4 дня назад

This is really well put. Sums up my experience too. It's great to see your understanding and approach to photography grow, definitely more gratifying than a new camera or something.

@retropixer Год назад

Good stuff. I use all of them, and especially the ‘balanced’ (or purposefully unbalanced) image is the key one. I also squint my eyes to blur the vision, which reduces the scene to blocks of shapes, dark/light areas, colors, which then avoids the distractions that may exist in the detail of the scene.

@psamkeast Год назад

I’m just starting out (well, coming back after a very long time) and your advice is always so clear and helpful. Many thanks.

@snapsbyfox Год назад

Cheers!

@TheWooloomoolloo Год назад

The last tip is very valuable (all of them are). It's worth revisiting the same urban scenes to work them out from different perspectives, at different times of the day and in different seasons of the year. Mining a spot, that's what I' d call it.

@sexysilversurfer Год назад

Totally agree, sometimes you have the image in your mind other times the image comes when sitting in front of your monitor looking at the photo. After a while it’s something you subconsciously do.

@robertgrenader858 Год назад

Very interesting. The Bottom RIght was very compelling

@josephlai1078 Год назад

Great stuff. I often go back to the same neighborhood to shoot, except I would go with different lens set up. For example, I would shoot with the XF23mm, XF30mm, XF56mm, and also with my 16-80. It is a way for me to get familiar to the distance and the focal length. It was no surprise that certain lens tends to capture a better composition at different spots even though it's the same exact neighborhood

@louisedasilva6046 Год назад

I’m learning a lot from your videos. I’m not a photographer but I like to take pictures especially when I travel. Usually, I don’t like random people in my pictures but I tried some of your suggestions. Recently, I vacationed in Nova Scotia, Canada and got a great shot of a sunset on a beach at low tide with a silhouette of one woman walking on the beach and it really made the picture. Thanks very much for the videos.

Great to the point video as usual Mr Fox. Took a photo break and getting back into it again I’m seeing differently.

@torinsall Год назад

Good review of approaches; good photos, too. Have to admit, I vary screen vs evf depending on the situation. As for closing one eye...no need with one good eye and one rubbish eye. 😉

@allanosantiago5955 Год назад

Thanks for sharing more added compositional tips, Roman. I myself was not aware of revisiting the same location which I often do anyway, but had a different way of seeing things. Some times it makes me feel I need a new scenery and was feeling bored with the same location. I'll practice that and see how I can find more new things to compose even if I had shot so many photographs of the same location a hundred times. 😊

@trafiak8 Год назад

Great video! Good tips outside of the tips you see on every RU-vid video

@wtr4397 8 месяцев назад

Thanks, Roman. This was quite helpful. I did not realize some of your tips, I already practice but not as consistently as you suggest. Recently, I am using the viewfinder less on my X100V. It has made quite a difference in what I see and how I compose. Regards…Wayne

@adunford2664 Год назад

As a video it’s making me think about composition more. I think you’ve helped separate the features of a shot, which I’ll try out. Why the brain likes a picture is something to explore.

@sanakchandra Год назад

Hi, would appreciate it if you could make a dedicated editing course or a series. I am so impressed with your edits. Also, by the way, the composition in your photos is my favourite. You have become my favourite photographer out there.

@iaincphotography6051 Год назад

For sure I will go along with all of those tips. The revisit is an important one, things change so do it..

@jplum7708 7 месяцев назад

Your videos like this one help me because i dont know enough to know what i dont know 😂. These fill in my knowledge gaps. I especially liked the point of revisiting a place. I live near a park with a foot bridge on the edge of the woods that leads to a path through the woods. I have been looking at that bridge for a few years knowing there is a composition there. It took a while to figure it out. Now i have a nice shot of the bridge. I just needed to look at it a few dozen times to find it.

@tobytang2144 Год назад

Superb tutorial tips. The usage of examples of your travel and street photography to explain your tips really help us to understand and engage by highlighting the areas your talking about. Agree that 100% is composition, framing, storytelling and the rest comes after. Love shooting street, you can follow the rules or break them at the same time, be unorthodox and creative.

@paulf1767 Год назад

Composition is the part I struggle with the most. I will try out the tip for balancing the image. Im not sure it will work in all situations but I have to give it a try. Thanks.

@2DogAle Год назад

I get comments about my photos and how great they look etc. from time to time. The ones I get the most comments on, usually, have a great composition. My photos are not of grand landscapes or city streets, but I still try to get well composed images. Your suggestions for improving compositions are great to keep in mind. I tend to weight my images similar to your suggestions and most times, they are the ones I like. Also, light; I find the other piece of the images that stands out is the lighting. Early day, late day, cloudy and raining, they all seem to make my photos come to life. The other point that was great for me, was to keep going back and you could see more opportunity for something new to photograph or a better composition. Thanks for the great suggestions for us to get better at capturing better photos.

@deadtothewxrld Год назад

On the bottom right tip, I think that's similar to something I learned from Steve Perry at Backcountry Gallery (amazing wildlife photographer, btw). He always recommends giving the eyesight of any subject room to look into space, in any direction necessary. This gives a sense of purpose and natural balance to the composition, as compared to restricting the eyesight, which makes the scene feel claustrophobic and unnatural.

"small crappy Fujifilm screen" hahahaha! Your videos are helping me a ton, hope to purchase your Zine soon. Was just sharing with a friend that street photography can really benefit the mental health of anyone. A conversation and compliment of a stranger you took a photo of might just save them from attempting suicide.

@charliejg Год назад

You always have something to offer that is useful to help me improve. It's interesting that you mentioned using a phone first to see a composition. There are times when I think I did a much better job composing when I was shooting with my phone. When I think about that it reminds me to slow down. I never tried the one eye method. Have to give that a go!1 Have a rockin' weekend.

@wilfs1196 Год назад

Waffle on Roman, an enjoyable & informative video which I always look forward to. I shoot somewhat opposite to you as I use the viewfinder on on my X-T3. But, in my defence, I do scan the outer perimeter of the viewfinder with my eye a few times before squeezing the shutter. Right now, in our hot & dry , sunny summer, the LCD screen can be difficult to see. A case of what ever works for you, I suppose. I did learn new pointers on balance also.

@snapsbyfox Год назад

Yeah there is no right or wrong man! if viewfinder works, then even better!

@mertk.9136 Год назад

really you are a professional photographer .. i am asking you about color grading .. thats awesome .. is it depending on your skills on retouching as a professional on lightroom ? or its regarding to fujifilm recipes .. I have nikon z6ii.. thanks brother

@megiMove Год назад

Just wondering as an on and off hobby photographer... do you think alot of color psychology when u take photos? Or is it more about light and composition? I've just gone into some videos about colors and i didn't really know it was so much information about that. I tend to just take pictures that is pleasing for the eyes and when there is cool light to play around. But, I've never really got why some colors or some pictures just feels alot better when u look at them.. just about which colors are dominant. I often shoot bw and tend to love that. Anyways. Great video! Been following you for years. Even when i tok over 1 year break from photos. 🥳🤙

@eljin00 Год назад

Another Great Video Roman, however if I may address something that is a bit off subject to this video and that is "shooting in comfort" forgive me if you've addressed this subject previously but When ever I'm out shooting with a DSLR I feel a little off putting, because I know people may think DSLR'S are a little intrusive to their personal space because of their size, even if at a distance, in short, they just think or suspect something's up when a DSLR is pointed in their general direction, I get it, however with my cell phone it's never a question because after all you could just be on your phone, Now, this brings me to the elephant in the room in regards to photography, Do you think camera manufactures will soon build a DSLR with the ergonomics ( shape and size ) to that of a cell phone but can match the photo quality to that of a DSLR , and I know they make lenses now that snap over your cell phone but the quality nor the functionality just isn't there yet , I would appreciate your take and viewers as well on this subject . thank you

@T-Prime848 Год назад

When it comes to composition on the streets the best way sometimes is to free the mind and experiment even if it’s against the rules ….

@snapsbyfox Год назад

For sure!

@rjohnbernales Год назад

So helpful. I’m not a total beginner,but my photo taking skills are. Thanks for this. These tips really connected with me. 🙏☺️. I’m gonna try a few of these next time I shoot.

@eortizfoto Год назад

Edge is a framing aspect, not a compositional one. Composition refers to how the elements within the frame interact with each other. Nevertheless, great content.
