    I read some of the comments here and I don’t think they’re warranted. I really liked this video of techniques that while some may be familiar with, this does a great job of clearly explaining them and gives a good reminder to keep them in mind when going out to shoot. It’s easy to say you know these things but harder to actually put to practice in the fraction of a second you have before taking a photo and this is a great reminder. Thank you for the video!

    Hyper critical "photographers" in the 1970s and early 1980s completely turned me off photography, cameras, and anything to do with photography.
    For example, I knew several people who won awards decades ago for photos they took, and they were merciless in their criticism of me not copying them. Their photos were bland, uninspired, rote, forgettable.
    Only two years ago did I decide to try photography as a hobby again, in part because a couple of the extremely toxic people I knew had recently died.
    I'm glad the dictator "photographer" type seems to have fallen out of favour, and glad to find this channel.
    Your channel is gentle, nurturing, and encouraging. Thank you for sharing your advice and tips, and for helping me realize my instincts were / are good and I have a good eye.
    If anyone else has been turned off a perfectly good hobby or profession by dreadful people, please reconsider it.
    Photography has brought me a surprising amount of secret pleasure over the past two years. I may never show my photos publicly, but I'm extremely pleased with them.
    And, when I find a new rental home and unpack my stuff in storage, I'll be printing some of my best photos and framing them to hang on my walls.

      Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. Always be wary of people within a hobby who claim to know everything. I may be a professional but I am still learning. I certainly don't know everything but try to share my experiences in this profession during the past 20 years, to help try and encourage people to explore their own worlds using their cameras. Photography has an amazing power to help you discover yourself and the world. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Wishing you luck and happiness out there taking images! 📸

    Thanks, this is very useful! My early efforts were a confusing mess, so I gravitated to having a single clear subject. But now you mention it, I can see that the use of two or more points of interest is indeed one of the distinctive habits of famous or "real" photographers.

    I’m always impressed with the use of selective focus in some of my favorite images. Such as shooting through a frame, reflections, near and far subjects. There doesn’t seem to be a definite standard and sometimes the compelling point of the image is out of focus or affected by motion blur. Exploration of this would be very interesting. Thanks for this video. I’ll subscribe now.

    Very helpful advice Sean, thank you so much! Sounds simple and logical in theory, but is demanding in practice. Especially if the points of interest are moving around 😅 Many beginners and amateurs not only focus of only one subject, but also tend to isolate it from its environment, producing quite boring, although technical perfect images. What is their main concern.
    Your advice remembers me of a code of practice I learned from National Geographic photographer Sam Abell who used to say: Compose the scene, then wait.

    Very good compositional ideas. The third idea - multiple points of interest - is a bit tricky and can rather easily mis-fire. The scene becomes too congested and the viewer is left bewildered, wondering what he or she should be looking at. Most seasoned photographers recommend the opposite - keep things simple. On the other hand, there are quite a few old very impressive, very busy photos around.

Although lately I have been considering the 50 in order to step outside my comfort zone and pull subjects a bit closer. Everytime I make this decision I end up switching back to the 35mm after a day! I wonder if I'd be better off just choosing the 35 and sticking with it. 🤔

    Love your channel, appreciate the effort you put in and the knowledge that you share sir. But as a student of photography can I ask if having more points of interest will make a picture look too busy, or is there some geometry involved or am I just too green? Thank you in advance.

    • @SeanGallagherPhotographer
      @SeanGallagherPhotographer  10 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for the question. There's a fine line between making the image too busy and having multiple points that work together. For this technique, there is no real formula, as you might see with other composition techniques. As you'll have seen from each of the images in the video, they are all slightly different. I find the key is to try to find balance between all the elements in the frame. They need to have the own space in the image and complement each other, like in the image of the man on the boat and the bird. Practice balancing two points of interest in your images first, then build up to three, then four etc. Have a look at the work of Alex Webb for more inspiration on this technique: www.magnumphotos.com/arts-culture/alex-webb-the-suffering-of-light/

    One of the functions I add to single element images is offsetting near the rule of thirds crossing points... I never put the focus of the image right on the rule of thirds crossing points... The eye wants to go to those points and if the object of the photo is at that point the eye has no where to go after that... using your suggestions makes the eye do even more... Keeping the eye moving makes any image more interesting to the viewer... They have to see something else and then something more than that, and more again... Their eyes have to keep moving...

    Great tips, thanks. I applied the reflection technique in August 2023 when doing bearwatching in eastern Finland. I was in a hide looking westward. In front of my hide there was a pond surrounded by taiga forest in U-form. So the trees already had beautiful reflections on the water surface. Then a brown-bear appeared an walked along the shore. Perfect. I filmed different clips: total with bear, reflection and forest in the background. Then I focused only on the reflection of the bear, having to zoom in strongly. And finally I had the luck to film two bears close to each other (further away from the pond, so no reflection, that would be to much luck, right). Best wishes.

    I have a question about signature on your photos. Is it important? Is it unprofessional?

    • @SeanGallagherPhotographer
      @SeanGallagherPhotographer  8 місяців тому

      Hi Habib. Good question. I don't think it's that important. It may act as a slight deterrent, but in these days of Photoshop and AI generative fill etc., I think it's very easy for people to remove the signature/watermark if they really want to.

    Best thing about these techniques is no state-of-the-art camera with a 50 megapixel sensor is required for a better picture. The most important photographic equipment is the imagination of the person holding the camera.

    • @SeanGallagherPhotographer
      @SeanGallagherPhotographer  10 місяців тому +1

      "No rule of thirds" applies to not talking about it in this particular video. It's still an important principle I use frequently, but is more of a basic concept. I will discuss more a later video 🙂

    As a retired pro photographer I agree with your advice here but I think you could make it more relevant by using sample images from more every day locations rather than the exotic ones chosen!

    • @SeanGallagherPhotographer

    There's another technique for framing. You can use the natural landscape for framing if you're doing something away from civilization. Like areas where water and land meet. Or where rocks cut off part of the sky. They're harder to come by, but pretty neat when it does.

    • @SeanGallagherPhotographer
      @SeanGallagherPhotographer  7 місяців тому

      Yes, great point. Natural landscapes provide lots of opportunities for framing 👍

    The photo at 7:12 is really beautiful, I just don't understand how you were able to take it without getting in trouble with the girl's parents. I just can't think of a way of getting photos like that, even without children in it, without getting punched. Am I overthinking it?

    • @SeanGallagherPhotographer
      @SeanGallagherPhotographer  8 місяців тому

      I have never ever felt physically threatened when taking photos. If you are out in the world taking images with good intentions, I don't think you have anything to fear. If people notice you taking photos, simply speak to them and explain what you are doing. Smile, be friendly and honest. Show them your IG feed, offer to send them a photo. Be sensible and respectful of people, of course, but don't overthink it.

    The difference between "professional" and "amateur" is that the former makes a living from that one single occupation. Iv'e known "amateur" photographers who are way more skilled than some so-called professionals. Just thought I'd point that out.
