Favourite picture was 3. Good reminder that it's whether the picture works and rules are just a tool to help with that (and to be ignored if they don't).
Number 3. Video was an excellent presentation of a useful concept. One plus: your relaxed manner and slower pace was most helpful. I often find your narration a bit too brisk, but this video was perfectly paced. Thanks.
Hi Ian, What a great channel. All three photos are really great shots and can stand alone, but, number three stopped me in my tracks. What a lovely capture. The vibrant colors really struck me. I found I had quite an emotional reaction. Wow! Thank you for sharing your work.
It's like trying to choose a favourite child. Carn Ingli is on my doorstep and it's a wonderful hike up there at any time. Anyway, I think No. 3 is my favourite. Cheers.
I'm stuck between 2 and 3. Three has color in the foreground that really catches my eye. Two feels more atmospheric. I think they both touch different emotions equally. Wonderful video!
Thank you very much, Ian, for sharing and for your tips on composition! I like the vertical 4:5 of Newport harbour the most, and the others are beautiful, too, great colours… kind regards from Germany, Martin
My favorite shot? All of them! 🙂 But the first (portrait) version has the most dynamic quality with those great leading lines. I could see that coming even before you showed the shot. But the colors in the other two are also stunning. Really great shots!
Another great video, Ian. Love the colours and composition in the final image. To my mind, it’s the relationship between colours, shapes and textures that make an image work.
Thanks Ian for sharing your thoughts and feelings with great results.....I like all the images as they all tell a different story in a moment of time.... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
All three images convey a unique feeling about the place quite hard to say which one is the best, I will chose a pano though just because it is a wider perspective that gives a viewer a glance of where you stood when photographing the are.
Great video, Ian. You explained your thought process very well and seeing the scene within a scene was a reminder about not getting too committed to one particular shot. All three images were great, but I would put 2 right at the top.
Hi again Ian....did I hear you say Pembrokeshire as I had as ancestor that was born in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, Wales ...he was Howell Davis..born in 1690...he was a pirate & was later killed by the Portuguese..just a bit of trivia that I thought was interesting from the area... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Very hard to choose between the thee wonderful images you post at the end of the video, Ian. I really like #1 for the balance and gentle cohesion of the image. The different zones of color are wonderful. I only wish the heather (clover?) at the lower left were a little punchier. #2 is simply a beautiful composition. Well balanced. Beautiful light. Just about perfect. After looking at the other two though, I find myself longing for a little more variety of color. #3 is all about texture, and the varigation of the purple flora, grey rocks, all fading into the distance is beautiful. To me, however, the image does not have the balance of the other two. So, the question becomes, which one would I most like having on my wall? Which would hold my interest the longest, and be the most relaxing to contemplate. To me, that would be #1. I could see losing myself in that landscape for hours!
Thx Ian for the great video. You helped me to be aware of a new mindset. I tend to look for photos when scouting. now i will look for a subject and try to draw out its relations with its surroundings.
The rule of the thirds must be learnt and then put at the back of your mind, I think it always works in Landscape and Pictorial photography, but everybody is different wouldn't it be boring if they were not! Thank you for your input on this matter. I always enjoy your views.....Oh by the way, they are all good shots, if they wasn't you would not put them on here! and yes I like them all....
I like image no 1 closely followed by image 3 . Thank you for your channel content ,i am a new subsciber enjoying looking at and learning from your videos .
No 2 is my fav. Great tutorial, Ian. There are plenty of "rules" in your examples, not the basic ones of thirds etc. You have implied leading lines, s curves, balance, aesthetics, more supple. You point out why your images have worked or not worked based on the supple differences. Thanks for this... Love to show this video at our camera club if that's ok. Cheers
I think I prefer image nr 1, but all 3 are beautiful. Image review is indeed crucial, I find that too -- like you said, when viewing the actual image in 2d on the screen that is different than when still composing on the same screen! Funny how that is. It helps with sharpness but also with finding flaws in the composition that somehow I missed when composing before taking the shot!
Great video Ian. Love all three but #1 is my favorite. Love the balance with the brighter sunlight on the left and the darker hillside on the right plus the distinct three layers of complimentary colors. Also, the green and blue in the distance add a feeling of calmness to the image. Beautiful!
Great video Ian. Love the back in the office and then switch to the location shoot. I use the same setup as you with the Viltrox and XH2. What filters do you use or do you bracket? Keep up the great work.
Hello Ian. New subscriber from the USA here. I do like your take on the “rules” of photography. I may use the rules, camera settings included, as starting point suggestions. Then move on to what I’m trying to say with the image.
Ian. I have to agree with you about shooting how you like. But I also have to say that all your photos do conform to the rules. You may not think your using them but your brain is automatically haha. Look back all have rule of thirds to an extent. And lead in lines diagonals and more haha. I have watched so many photographers saying they don't acually use basic rules and in the end they all do. But yes your images are unique to you great stuff I like the last image nice right colours.
@ian_worth hahaha it'd just me mate. I do it all the time. I have thought many times to make a video about other making a video. But that's rude haha would love to hook up sometime if I get down your way.
Nice video and photos Ian. However, I think many of your photos are based on the golde ratio, more or less, whatever you say about not following rules. This is not very obvious in all the shots, but important elements, the meeting of lines and so on are features very often placed on or near the horisontal or vertical lines of the golde ratio, or even on or near the crossing points of these lines. Like so many you seem to search for some kind of balance and harmony in you images, and the principles of the golden ratio lend themselves to that without us thinking very much about it.
3 is my favorite, all the colors, the lines, the light
Thank you 👍👍
Inspiring shots with the blooming heather, well done! I love the feeling of depth in them
Thanks so much 👍👍
Favourite picture was 3. Good reminder that it's whether the picture works and rules are just a tool to help with that (and to be ignored if they don't).
Many thanks 👍👍
No 3 for me. Love the gentle range of colours
Thanks 👍👍
1 favourite landscape picture. Foreground is similar in shape to the back ground.
Thank you 👍👍
Such beautiful images to conclude the video, Ian. Thank you 😊
Many thanks!
Brilliant video Ian. Thanks! My favorite shot was #1. Loved the contrast in light and color.
Many thanks 👍👍
Number 2 was my favourite that said they are all superb images
Thanks so much 🙏👍
Number 3. Video was an excellent presentation of a useful concept. One plus: your relaxed manner and slower pace was most helpful. I often find your narration a bit too brisk, but this video was perfectly paced. Thanks.
Awesome, glad you liked it. 👍👍
Number 2 definitely
Thanks Keith 👍👍

Thanks so much 👍
All great shots as always but my favourite is definitely number 1.
Nice one! 👍👍
I enjoy all, but number 2, is perfect.
It's like trying to choose a favourite child. Carn Ingli is on my doorstep and it's a wonderful hike up there at any time. Anyway, I think No. 3 is my favourite. Cheers.
It certainly is a cracking spot and the heather is looking stunning right now, thanks for watching 👍👍
No 3 for sure
Thank you 👍👍
All lovely, but #3 for me.
Thank you 👍
I'm stuck between 2 and 3. Three has color in the foreground that really catches my eye. Two feels more atmospheric. I think they both touch different emotions equally. Wonderful video!
Thanks so much 👍👍
I like them all! Since I have to choose, my favorite is number 1 with the light flowing across the image rather than the traditional Sunsets.
Awesome, Thanks buddy 👍👍
Thank you very much, Ian, for sharing and for your tips on composition! I like the vertical 4:5 of Newport harbour the most, and the others are beautiful, too, great colours… kind regards from Germany, Martin

Thanks Len 👍👍
Some great thoughts! Your sunset images were awesome! Thanks for taking me along!
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍👍
Another great video, Ian. Love the colours and composition in the final image. To my mind, it’s the relationship between colours, shapes and textures that make an image work.
Awesome, thanks Stuart 👍👍
# 3 with # 2 closely behind.
Thanks 👍
1 is the one for me!
Thanks Ian for sharing your thoughts and feelings with great results.....I like all the images as they all tell a different story in a moment of time.... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Glad you enjoyed it Robert 👍👍
I really liked #2. Good job my friend and thank you for this video. I’m always learning.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏👍
All three images convey a unique feeling about the place quite hard to say which one is the best, I will chose a pano though just because it is a wider perspective that gives a viewer a glance of where you stood when photographing the are.
Many thanks 👍👍
Hi Ian, love No2 for the beautiful foreground looking out to the setting sun. Keep up the good work.
Sorry Ian it was No3 not No2
Thanks so much 👍👍
Great video, Ian. You explained your thought process very well and seeing the scene within a scene was a reminder about not getting too committed to one particular shot. All three images were great, but I would put 2 right at the top.
Thanks so much 🙏🙏
My favorite shot is Number 2...
Thank you 👍
Hi again Ian....did I hear you say Pembrokeshire as I had as ancestor that was born in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire, Wales ...he was Howell Davis..born in 1690...he was a pirate & was later killed by the Portuguese..just a bit of trivia that I thought was interesting from the area... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Thanks buddy, yes Milford Haven is about 15 miles from the spot I was photographing, that's an interesting story 👍👍
Number 1, bucket of the foreground contains the harbour in the background.
Thanks 👍👍
Thanks. I like all three images together but if forced to pick one maybe the first one on the left.
Thank you 👍👍
thanks - all good points
You're welcome 👍👍

Great video Ian, learnt a lot as you went through some of your previous images. No 1 is my favourite.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍👍

Thanks, I do tend to post my rubbish photos as well as the ones that I like, check out last weeks video, both photos I took were less than average. 👍👍
I like image no 1 closely followed by image 3 . Thank you for your channel content ,i am a new subsciber enjoying looking at and learning from your videos .

Another interesting video with a lot of information. I prefer shot no. 3
Thank you 👍👍
Excellent video- thanks. I like #3.
Thank you too 👍👍

Thanks buddy, no filters in these shots, the one taken into the sun was a bracket 👍👍
Hello Ian. New subscriber from the USA here. I do like your take on the “rules” of photography. I may use the rules, camera settings included, as starting point suggestions. Then move on to what I’m trying to say with the image.
Thanks for the sub Tom, much appreciated 👍👍
All three are outstanding, but if I could only put one on my wall, it would be number 3.
Thanks John 👍

Ha Ha , I was waiting for a comment like this Paul 👍👍 You're probably right 👍

Many thanks, that might well be true, i think there's a big difference between composing with and without the rules in mind.
Number 3
👍
Number 2
Thanks 👍👍

1

My favorite is No. 1
