    Lukasz is the Bob Ross of photography. Instead of a nice little tree sitting down into a lake scene, it's a salaryman between two buildings.

    • @EYExplore

      Hahaha yeah, I have too many photos of it and it's hard to choose the 'best' one but the one I showed is in my book, so I guess it's my fave. And I like using it in videos to illustrate concepts because it's just so good for that! It's a little visual classroom. :)

  • @theslowwalkers
    @theslowwalkers 3 місяці тому +1

    Wonderful video, the tips you gave and demonstrated, produced superb looking shots and the way you explained them and gave examples, showed that, with practice, it can be quite simple. I was lucky enough to be given your book for Christmas and as a lover of your work, it was even better than I imagined. I showed a non-photography interested friend a picture from the book and she then sat and went through the whole book and ended up showing me the pictures she liked.

    Most important heuristic is “WTF?” WHAT is your photo OF? What is your photo a photo ABOUT? That was how I read the title of your video. It works. It matters.
    Good video. Very clear explanations.

  • @TheChosenOne_
    @TheChosenOne_ 3 місяці тому +1

    One heuristic that comes to my mind is naturally dividing the frame. Either with light or objects. For example one person in dark clothing walking in the light and other person walking in the shadows through a speck of light while the harsh shadow cutoff goes right through the middle (as a leading line) Or when walking a busy crossing is having a scene on the left, one person in the middle very close from behind dividing the frame, and a scene on the right.

    In your example of the skyscrapers, I liked the one you discarded, which does not have an attractive angle. If you look at it well and convert it to black and white, it is a very powerful image.
    In the end it all depends on the eyes that see the photos.

    • @EYExplore
      @EYExplore  2 місяці тому +1

      This is absolutely true. These are just tools, but when you employ them is up to you. Sometimes that do not work and take away from a scene. :)

    Enjoyable post, Lukasz. Classic methods dressed in posh lexicon😊. Less is more, aka perimeter check. Diagonal lines convey tension. Dutch tilt. Through things, aka “frame the fill”. Edge alignment a new twist. Cool venue, not many people around. What time of day were you filming? Starbucks must feel slighted😊.

    • @EYExplore
      @EYExplore  3 місяці тому +1

      Yeah, the concepts are not something that comes out of nowhere, but I learned them through different means. For example, I never considered the diagonal framing to have anything to do with a Dutch angle. The reason is that, I'm trying to use the angle to create some kind of alignment with the frame and the geometry in the image, creating a kind of harmony. Whereas I always felt Dutch angles give me a sense of unease and confusion, usually used to bolster that kind of narrative in films. I guess, this is where the last point comes in: the geometric considerations should play into the narrative of the image. Maybe I'm just splitting hairs hahah. :)
      Anyway, I think it was a bit early, say 10am?

    You know I have a macro lens with a z50. I like taking shots of plants that are a little farther away and try to frame the shot with blurred leaves and flowers to add a sort of fluffy colorful tint and texture to the photo. At the same time it leads the eye toward the object that is clear. It also sort of creates this sense of looking at it secretly. At least that’s what my brain tells me😅. So I guess using the branches, leaves, and flowers to blur around the main object would be a heuristic.

    • @EYExplore
      @EYExplore  3 місяці тому

      That is definitely a heuristic! I like employing it too for portraits when I do take those. :)
