    You still see the digital photo world as the same as analog photography from the time when "wise men" overstretched basic photography definitions over digital world. It'd be better to name the whole shitty Brave New World of microPCs (cameras) with optics as DIGIGRAPGY. AnaPh and DigiPh are two different worlds, but you have the capability (intellectual, you proved it in your episodes about "red lines in personal photography" dissecting meanings of all "controversial" terms/concepts like visualization, intent, feelings, emotions etc to your theses) to soap viewers' eyes and minds. Yes, "million flies can't be wrong" tops the world of Digigraphy. Alas. It's good you mentioned SOOC shots, but you should set one thing in a stone - post-processing photos, e.g. RAWs, yes, but up to the enhancing photos only, NOT to change the world colors and interrelation of Earthly subjects - there the photography stops and "photography/creativity" quackery starts. JPG can be processed too, there're easy and quick apps, with all constraints concerning printing.

    Skies have been swapped out since the beginning of the photography medium in the 1800's. Nothing wrong with that as long as they are real skies and not A.I. created.

      Depends on every photographer's own bounderies. I have swapped out skies, not very often, but my bounderies are not only "no AI", it's also "it must be a sky I took a photo of".

    Tom, you have touched very sensitive topic. I agree and I don't. Basically we accepted black and white photos for decades but they have nothing to do with reality. 🙂 Because photography is a form of art it's very subjective. If we just think about Picasso and his famous distorted portraits. They were a conclusion of something. And I think we can use this approach to photography as well. At the end the photos we re creating are a conclusion or interpretation of our mood, circumstances, creative possibilities and so on. I would say they are a reflection of the message we want to convey. We just don't have to label them as "reality".

    • @luzr6613
      @luzr6613 9 днів тому

      Is photography necessarily a form of 'art' though? It is certainly different from what were called the 'Fine Arts' - the key difference being that photography has to begin with an actual-factual from the world without (that then may be manipulated), whereas Picasso didn't require any real-world starting point, and nor does a musician or a sculptor. I know that this calls on a distinction that is largely ignored today, but the distinction is still real - without an external reality of light and forms to Record, photography doesn't exist. The idea that B&W has 'nothing to do with reality' is also debatable. B&W is reality without the evolutionary emergence of cones in the (mammalian) eye - an inability to differentiate wavelengths of light doesn't alter external reality one bit; only a specific organism's perception of it. Now i know that these two points don't really undermine the point you are making - we can do as we wish with our images, for whatever reasons we may have - and most of us probably have boundaries around how far we think it is acceptable to go in securing or in messing with 'the scene' (or maybe not?).

    Hello Tom, this is Bernd from Germany. This is a short but helpfull video concerning autumn photography. Great! There´s one additional remark concerning tip 1: Go out and photograph when there´s mist or after rain showers. Specially beech trees (pine trees too) get black and more seperated from the foliage. By a circulare polarizer you can reduce the reflections on the leaves.

  • @peterandhiscat
    @peterandhiscat Місяць тому

    This is good, but I think your channel is at its best when it's telling people not to get hung up on camera settings (or equipment) just think about composition, location, theme etc There's far too much on UA-cam already about gear and technical issues, and far too little about composition and the artistic aspects of good photography. Your channel helps fill that gap and I'd say that that's your special superpower :) People can take great photos just leaving the camera on auto if their composition and subject matter is good, but they can't take great photos if their composition or subject matter is bad, no matter how clever their camera settings are!

    • @peterandhiscat

    Hello all! I don’t entirely agree with point 8. My mobile camera has this horrible tendency to desaturate colours quite a bit and darken the image when using the telephoto lens. Increasing the saturation and/or vibrancy as well as the brightness is necessary to get more accurate colours.

    • @yorkshirephotowalks

    • @robertspeicher5047
      @robertspeicher5047 Місяць тому

      An added note. Some times. Shrink the composition. Try to create a desire of " wanting to enter your work. I had an experience , one early spring day. I was scouting, no camera, for future sites. Came upon a small " woods" . No grass ..just bare ground. The circle of trees, branches so enclosed, sunlight did not get in. The leaves had just emerged. Enough to shut out the sun's rays but acted like color lenses. I was standing in a bright emerald green light. All I could do was just enjoy the light. It was kind of like an " OZ " moment. Went back many times over the spring seasons. That moment never happened again.

    It reminds me of a program I saw on the TV. It was an auction of contemporary art. The one that surprised me was of a plain white background with a black brush stroke of no particular meaning, it sold for 80, 000,000 that's eighty million dollars. I'm not sure what is happening to the world but as I get older the more insane it appears to get. I could produce the same thing for ten pounds, canvas included but I would blush at the thought of calling it art.

It was expensive even second hand, but I've just retired and need something to occupy my time. I haven't yet bought a lens for my camera and was wondering if you could advise me on which lens I should purchase first. My interest is landscape but some portrait as well. Thank you for any advice you can give me. I've subscribed and liked. 😁👌

    • @yorkshirephotowalks
      @yorkshirephotowalks Місяць тому

      Thank you for the comment, like & subscription. I am a big advocate of prime (fixed focal length) lenses. I think every photographer should own a 50mm prime (f1.8 or wider), they can be very versatile and provide excellent image quality. I would advise against getting zoom lenses that cover wide angles to telephotos as you compromise on quality. In terms of zoom lenses, something like a 24-70mm would also be a good option, giving width for landscapes and a tighter crop for portraits. This is a topic I must do a video on, so stay tuned! I hope this advice helps for now.
