Charles, this is one of the best presentations on photography I have ever watched. I take away a marked increase in how to approach landscape and nature photography. Thanks!
i bought my first real digital camera 1 year ago, i use your comp card / viewing card and many many other tips from many many pros, it has been a long year, i love this thing and hope to be good some day.
Love the series! Looking forward to subscribing to the publication. In the interview at the end of Charles bit, there is a bit of a debate on whether the eye tends to travel to the lightest point or the darkest point of an image first and I beg to differ with both schools of thought in saying that the eye tends to travel to the area with the most difference in contrast from the rest of the image. In other words in an image of a dark tree or rock in a field of snow the eye will travel to the rock however on a black sand beach with a dark sea and a bright white ice chunk the eye will travel to the ice chuck so its the object or area with the most difference in value. At least that's how it feels to my eye. Thank you for this great programming!
I think I would agree with that but with a load of caveats about our perception of 'subject'. i.e. Tree's attract attention, colour contrast attracts attention, converging lines, etc
I would give this 100 thumbs up if I could.

Absolutely fascinating. So different from the more typical gear and technique talks

A fascinating video, some beautiful images and some thought provoking tips, what more could you ask for!🍀👌
