I like how you illustrated your point by moving the camera, and letting us see what the viewfinder saw, so we could actually see it all in motion. I don't think I've seen that done anywhere else.
Thank you Jon!
At the first mudcrack photo i see that one of the "islands" has a damaged piece in it. That's a thing a cant unsee.
It's a great vid to really see why you have to put thought in your composition. Gives me a bit of a shake up that I think I needed.
probably the best comment you make - the one takeaway as a photographer trying to improve their craft is when you say - your job as the artist and photographer is to make sure that what you found interesting is what the viewer sees as well. The composition is such a huge part of capturing images that speak for you the artist.
Thanks Tom! I think that’s such a huge concept beginners need to learn when thinking about their artistic vision.
Mike - You took your time and showed great examples when explaining your points. A real success for you and valuable for the viewer. Something I can remember. One of your best tutorials!
Thank you so much Joseph for the feedback!
This is up there with one of your best tutorials Mike, great job.
Thanks so much Enrique!
Interesting video/subject Mike. yes most photographers videos stress the getting low aspect so very interesting to get a more varied perspective. Makes sense! Wish we had some salt flats like that in the UK - mud cracks near rivers or reservoirs are the closest we get !! Stay safe.
👍👍 for the tall tripod 😃 Great wide angle photography tips, with great examples, thanks Mike👌
Thank you so much Dave!
Great Video Mike. I enjoy your content, love it when you take us on the adventure with you. Best,
Thank you so much Michael!
Well explained. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great video! I struggle with wide angle shots - this will help!
I love that photo with the bush and how the cracks in the ground all branch out from it (or converge into it). That looks quite artistic!
Thank you so much Scott!
Hi from Amnon in NYC .
A wonderful video n glad to see you .thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Really fascinating video this week. After watching your videos I am going to have to move a trip to DV up my list. I find it amazing how you and Chris can find so many interesting photo locations in a place like. Thanks for sharing. BTW, I see the Grand Canyon is getting nailed with snow. After your trip last year I really want to go there. Unfortunately, I don't feel I can go until I get the COVID vaccine. Hopefully in March. Take care and stay healthy. Nyall
DV is one of my absolute favorite places for landscape photography!
Thank you for this great explanation for conveying the message with wide lenses. Loved it
Really like this Mike. Very interesting with a couple of cracking shots. 👍.
Thanks so much Gary!
Well done, Mike. Some great tips.
Thanks Brad!
Great images and great learning tips!
Thanks Mike!
Great lessons Mike and the shots were amazing! Love the different moods of your shots.
Thanks Barry!
Great lesson on angles and composition! It helps to see you actually changing the positions in real time.
Thanks Juanita!
Another great tutorial. Thanks man!
Thanks for watching Curtis!
Very helpful video, thanks much..... Great shots!
Thanks Bill!
The height of your camera is determined by the size of your foreground element you chose to shoot. Sure in this case where you have half a meter in diameter mud hopes many of them and in repeating patterns it makes sense to shoot at eye level. But in most common cases this isn't optimal. You would get low for example to shoot a field of flowers and have the same distortion perspective you got on the salt lake. Just swap each mud hole for a flower in the same proportions regarding the framing and voila, you got your shot
Well explained and great points Mike. Shooting with wide-angle lenses is an art form until self. I use to reserve them for photographing real estate for clients. But the more I use them, the more I find unique perspectives and ways to tell the photographic story while working different scenes.
You’re absolutely right. Once you realize the strengths and weaknesses of wide angle lenses, you can really create some dramatic and meaningful photos. Thanks Craig!
Great idea Thanks Mike
Thanks for watching Peter!
This is a good one, Mike!
Thanks Bob!
Great tutorial on the use of the ultra wide angle lens.
(PS. Let's go Red Sox!)
Thank you and let’s goooooooo
Thanks for this Mike! I knew I needed a taller tripod for a reason;)
Haha it comes in handy! Good luck out there!
I get my best wide-angle images with my 16-35 in portrait orientation rather than landscape. By tilting the camera down, the perspective distortion stretches out background elements like mountains to make them more prominent without changing their shape. In landscape orientation, the lens is still usually pointed either up or down. That has the dual effects of making central background elements (like mountains) small, while any verticals at the sides (e.g. trees or buildings) obtain extreme tilts that can be hard to correct or hide. So for landscape orientation images I rarely go wider than 24mm. How about you guys?
Hey John! Yeah I find that the wider I go, let’s say 14-20mm I’m more than likely to have a portrait orientation. I think that the strength of a wide angle lens is much more prominent in that orientation. Not always, but most of the time. The thing with those focal lengths on the wide end, every movement has a consequence. It’s a very sensitive and it really drives home my point. To think through your image. Know the consequences of those choices.
Love the picture at 5:00!! Good tips, thank you! :)
Thanks Elly!
Great video and informative. Mike, can you share the Make and Model of your tripod and ballhead.
Thank you! I use a Benro 48CXL and the ballhead is the g2.
Those salt rings look way cool. Like tiny swimming pools. How hard are the rings and do they get footprints easily like sand dunes?
They’re pretty hard for the most part. I still avoid walking on them if I can. They can definitely break or at least show footprints.
Thanks for the tips. I am renting a wide angle and going to Kings Canyon in just two days.
That should be awesome! Good luck!
There’s always that moment where you realize you have been shooting for a long time but don’t really understand the correct principles. Even worse you have successful photos and less successful ones but you don’t know why and cannot repeat it. Lately I have been using my telephoto because my wide angles have not been great. I concluded that my subject matter did not lend to wide angle. But now I realize my use of the wide angle may have not been optimized for an interesting composition. Thanks again for your great advice.
Thank you! Sometimes these small adjustments can make a huge difference!
Great video! Do you regret not having the 14-24 anymore?
Thanks Richard! I don’t miss that heavy toad at all!
A very interesting discussion of how the perspective changes with height.
Thanks for watching David! Little things can make a big difference. 🙌🏼
Great photo n video Mike! May I know your tripod?
Thank you! It’s the Benro 48cxl.
Well said n beautiful images once again ,, hey you might bump in to BRETT WOOD hes also there for a week !! lets us know if you do n GOD BLESS !!!
Thank you Juan!!! This was filmed back in December haha.
@@PereaPhotography oh ok !! Yeah I just figure you would've ran into him by now !! GOD BLESS !!
You talk about the photographer having to decide on one or the other composition in cracked earth. Why would you not take both (bother looked great)?
You can absolutely do that. The point is to help you slow down and observe. Simplify what you’re looking at, compose the image based on what you like, and be able to convey that to the few. Make decisions intentionally. If you can decide on what you like more, how can the viewer have a clear idea of your vision?
@@PereaPhotography I asked the question at the point in the video where you seemed to be saying that you have to make up your mind (one or the other). After I wrote the question I watched the rest of the video and got the point about deciding what the artist wants the viewer to see. I get it now. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Love your videos.
