Why use some white balance presets? Why don't just don't use RAW?
I agree with you that a lot of photographers get hung up on foreground interest. Obviously it's important for many shots but certainly not all of them. I think that's one of the reasons many landscape photographers are switching from wide-angle to telephoto as their main landscape lens. Compressing the background, bringing everything closer to the camera and focusing more on light, shape, texture etc. can create really powerful images. This also steers you away from taking those boring, repetitive postcard shots and allows for a more creative approach that show your unique view as an artist.
👍
What is the name of the place where you shooting? Will you please reply me please please please 🙏
I love your videos. Keep up the great work!
I like the use of the polarized lens. Is there one that will fit all different lenses without having to carry a lot of kit ? Also looks like a d850. Did you try the focus stacking on the 850?
Great advice, thank you.
Great presentation indeed! Thorough, precise, thoughtful, and filled with useful info. Thanks, Ross
I really enjoyed watching this!
Thanks for sharing
Just blur and time lapse stuff and all your friends will like it.
Thank you.
Great Video thanks
Great camera height. If lowered you would lose the little stream coming in on the left side which sort of indicates an island in the center of the great composition. Thanks for all the tips.
Excellent Tips, Ross!. Thank you
Enjoyed your video. I just purchased the D850 and I am in the process of setting it up. Do you have any recommendations for settings?
enjoyed your video, like its helpful tips and well presented 🙂
Ross you inspire me to take better photos . i love nature and asp by the sea ,clouds asp. and sunrise or sunsets with a wide landscape view. .i get confused with all the maths and calculations , but your approach getting out in the open helps me to grasp the subject.your a good teacher and know you subject well. thanks a bunch.
Great suggestions. Am actually heading out to a national park and we have rain in the forecast for the first half of the week. So i'll take the macro and try this out.
well done, Absolutely images. Thank!
today u have a new subcriber good job!
is it just me, or are those Toadstools NOT in focus ?
Just subscribed. Excellent tips, all very well delivered. Thanks!
Nice. I especially liked the little LED light as a backlight .
What is your tripod head?
Excellent video your tips are very helpful thank you
One tends to wonder how well a lens hood might have helped…
when using a sticky tripod use a piece of elastic like a bungee cord attached to the handle. It will act as a damper and reduce jerkiness
I just watched this out of curiosity, but to my amazement, found that it was a very good video, TTL knew what he was talking out, no waffle, l shall take a look at TTL's other video's
Excellent video,great,Thanks!
I've looked everywhere for Fly Agaric mushrooms and cannot find any. I've spent a fortune on diesel looking for woodlands where I might find them but never ever seen one.
