Hope you enjoyed the tips! Which photography tips have helped you most in the past?
The best tip from Emily for me is "don't lock yourself into one genre of photography". I have learned new things by taking pictures of subjects I never thought I would before.
Really enjoy your tips and ways of presenting. Just straightforward, easy to grasp and the results of your images speak for themselves.
excellent points
but your authentic, amusing, and fun demeanor makes this a joy to watch
keep up the brilliant work!
Regarding overediting. I got into the habit a few years ago of moving sliders where I wanted and then reduced that number by 5 on most sliders, after doing this for a while I became much happier with my edits
The one about over-editing. I consider it a plague :).
Last year I finally tried serious portrait photography - not just a report, but something that is supposed to look nice. I returned back to basics and went for clear shots with proper use of external flash/speedlight, later with lamp, long focals, and adequate Fstop.
Most of those things worked like a charm. I actually had to learn new techniques how to fix photos which are looking way too real, and not nice enough. Some tuning to colors, brighter background...
Then recently i watched three courses on portrait photography. Two of them were really good, with some techniques I havent tried yet... One of them was all about photoshop:
A guy took a shot with 85mm F1,4 lens, stopped down to F5,6. Makes sense if you want larger DOF with more details. But in POST he used fake bokeh to blur them out. He could use F2,8 instead and save 10 minutes of work.
he used dish with speedlight and white surface to get nice and soft details on the face... but he did not managed to get any light on the eyes. Again spend time adding more light in post, and it obviously looked fake...
Thanks for the reminders!
Great tips, thanks Emily.
I sometimes experiment with using B&W to save particularly noisy images (as I'm shooting with m43) - removes all the colour noise at a stroke, and also means you can be a bit more heavy handed with contrast tools to re-extract detail
Helpful video, as always :)
Great tip! Yes black and white is very flattering for noisier images for sure 😁
Excellent tips! Thank you! 🌷
Thanks, a neat concise and helpfully thoughtful episode. And your enthusiastic energy always makes me smile! The most helpful advice I heard was that a picture should be about something, not of something.
A good bit of solid advice.
#5 selective colour. I completely agree with you on this but still used it recently for some poppies on a cenotaph.
thanks very much, especially for #4... 😉
Great tips! Thank you.
Selective color is my secret joy, but not for publishing. It was done so well in Schindler’s lust with the girl in the red coat, but not for every day.
Regarding #2, I used to be fanatical about getting it right in-camera. No post processing, no nothing. Everything had to be in front of the sensor, be it filters, extension tubes diopter eyepieces, flash or what-have-you. If it wasn't up to scratch, adjustments were made and the shot got retaken.
I like that kind of approach. If done correctly, there is little to no work needed in post.
Good points
You are amazing! Such an inspiration.
Thanks for all your great content.
Thanks so much David ☺️🙏
Solid tips.
I am binging your channel today and love your reviews
That’s awesome thanks so much for watching ☺️
I dont like selective color but i like contrasting two colors like orange and blue. Or i edited a deranged pigeoon to have super vibrant red eyes and super blue feathers like a zombie cyborg. Idk
Actually curious as to whether the dominant eye of the viewer affects whether the viewer likes the eyeline leading in or out of a shot?
excellent tips!
Thanks Sarah! ☺️
You speak so well, what are you looking after in photography ?
I liked one tip on symmetry a lot.
Thanks so much for watching ☺️
This is ace :D
Thanks Sam! 🙏☺️

Obviously, being such a super-dooper photographer, I have never done one of those mistakes.
When in fact I have thousands of images that can show most of your "To Do" list at the same time. 😀
Don't suppose you could do a similar "7 Mistakes" from a videography perspective?
Its just that I have found myself drifting towards video and this is where I get most enjoyment. At the moment, I'm blindly guessing my way through this complex medium and just hoping that I get half decent projects for my efforts.
That’s a great idea I’ll add it to my list ☺️
Comment for the algorithm:)
Much appreciated thank you 🤣
You need one edit that looks like a unicorn throw up to know, how much edit is too much 😅
Hahaha yes!
