    Definitely the one on the right for me. In that one, the eye goes to the Cleat whereas in the other, it keeps getting drawn to the foreground area. Lovely shot,

    Great video Nick. A valuable lesson in moving your feet to get a better composition. :-)

    Excellant - they are both great shots but my preferance is the one on the left as there is more detail in the sky. I am learning so much at the moment and enjoy the way you bring it across. Looking forward to more content. Keep up this excellent photography.

      Thanks very much John, for me this shot is all about the light, which is why I prefer the one on the right, as when it hits the foreground as well as the background, there is no real separation between the elements in the composition. We all have our own opinions though 😁

    Good video Nick, as you showed we can’t control light, we can only work with what we are presented with. Thanks.

    Yup, like the second image. Fascinated by all the snow being gone from your last instagram.

    Hi Nick. Totally agree with you - the right hand image every time. They're both excellent compositions but the improved light on the background makes the second image a winner. Lovely stuff ! Many thanks for sharing.

    Of the two shots, I liked the bright foreground, but the background light showed the mountain features more clearly in the other shot.

    Hi Nick, enjoyed that, thanks for taking the effort to produce the video, much appreciated. I have to be honest, I can't really decide between the two images. They're both great but I keep flipping between which one I ultimately prefer, hopefully that doesn't make me a photography philistine! all the best, Ian

    • @NickHansonPhotography
      @NickHansonPhotography  Рік тому +1

      Thanks very much Ian, I really appreciate that. Not at all, I quite often can't decide between say two images with the same composition which may have been captured moments apart and where the light has changed,

    I'm with you, Nick, much prefer the image on the right. Nicer framing

    • @NickHansonPhotography
      @NickHansonPhotography  Рік тому

      Thanks very much Nigel, the framing is exactly the same, it’s the light that is different 😉

      @@NickHansonPhotography you're right, of course Nick. What I should have said and meant to say was, the right hand image, having a darker foreground, creates a better frame. My bad 🙄

  • @Bimmly

    Totally agree, the one with the stronger light on the foregound draws too much attention from the central subject .... much prefer the second image ....

    Thank you. I really appreciated you sharing your thought process. I love your honestly. You are a great photographer, so seeing how you go though the decision making process is really helpful. Im really looking forward to spring and you maybe doing some more macro. Thanks again.

      Thanks very much Marlene. I definitely want to get out with the macro lens more, however it will depend on how busy I am with workshops.

    A very much stronger composition in this version than the cropped version from the last video, I think. The foreground is less dominant, and you can see more of the lake (were you higher up?). When you're right, you're right! Great photo! (either version, but I prefer the subtler lighting of the right hand one).

    • @NickHansonPhotography
      @NickHansonPhotography  Рік тому +1

      Thanks very much Paul, the lochs are more visible in this version because of the light. In the previous video there was no light on them, so wouldn't have been so obvious.

    Hi Nick,
    Enjoyed the video.
    It was nice to see you find a better composition in the same location as your last video, but further up the path.
    I liked both image's, but i can see what you mean about the light on the background rather than on the foreground in the image is probably better.
    Look forward to seeing your next video.

    Hi Nick. Thanks for the video - I feel like I’ve learnt something about using light for foreground and background. I did a short course with you last May at that very location and am returning this April with my camera. Kam

    Have you thought about geotagging your composition locations, if not the photos themselves? That way you can get back to the same spot within a couple meters each subsequent visit?

    • @NickHansonPhotography
      @NickHansonPhotography  Рік тому

      If it’s a location I haven’t been to before, then I may take a photo with my phone, which will have the GPS coordinates, as my camera doesn’t have GPS.

      @@NickHansonPhotography I think through a wifi or Bluetooth connection you can use your phones GPS to provide the geotagging info on the EXIF data for the RAW files on your R5.
