I've been creating UA-cam content for about 7 years alongside my commercial photography business. At the start of this year, I decided to go all in to concentrate on UA-cam, landscapes and workshops. It's a little daunting leaving a commercial photography business that I had spent so many years building, but sometimes you've just got to follow your dreams. So a big thanks to everyone who supports and follows my work, I couldn't do this without you. www.iworthphotos.com
Great advice as always Ian , thank you , what struck me particularly was your comment about contrast , as someone fairly new to photography , i have been avidly consuming youtube content and tutorials since i got into landscape photography during the 2021 lockdown , i have seen so many tips and comments saying it is all about the light ... but your comment really hits the mark , great light doesn't make a great photo , obviously subject / composition is important but the interplay between light and shadow is super important, I have no particular skill in portrait photography but i like seeing other photographers portrait work , and the ones that really stand out for me are the ones with great contrast between light and dark , so i see how this can be transposed to landscape too .
I love these nuggets of wisdom, especially the advices on contrast vs light and light diffusion. I will add that, for having purchased Ian's landscape composition ebook, I can confirm it is well worth it and helped improve my photography a lot more than a new lens on which we generally spend a lot more money. Composition is probably the most important aspect to master in photography, especially nowadays with all the advanced post-processing tools available. The one thing you can't fix after the fact is your composition. Some may say "cropping" but obviously, what you can do with it is quite limited.
A very informative set of thoughts about light, Ian. I thought it a great idea to include thoughts about approaches to editing. And it was wonderful to see Luna again.
Ian, good advice as always. Luna looks a beauty. She reminds me so much of my lovely girl. Absolutely adore her. She is my constant companion when out photographing.
I always enjoy your videos Ian, what amazes me is how you can make these videos week after week and keep the content fresh and interesting, that HAS to be a challenge to do it week after week,, love your work !!
Thanks so much, It certainly is a challenge, but reading everyone's comments and building a community around the channel really inspires me to keep going 👍
Undoubtedly the best time of every year - I followed the bluebells north this year, nearly got to John O'Groats! May opt to do this again in 2025 - Tip: avoid the NC500
Sometimes you can’t direct the light if the subject you want to photograph is solid and not movable… And if you can move it , and the light might look great then the background might suffer. It’s more complicated sometimes.
I'm personally a bit torn with editing photos, small changes; exposure ÷-1 or 2 stops, cloning out litter are ok but..... manipulation of the scene are a no no for me . ❤
My preferred method for editing is adjusting colour and luminance with brushes and masks, it is essentially just like dodging and burning like they used to do in the film days. 👍
@@ian_worth haha! Thanks Ian! That is Bubba, just one 4 border collie’s my sister and brother in law have! Bubba lives for playing catch with the ball! Haha!
Thanks for your awesome videos. I am curious to know why you shoot some of your shots at higher ISO, especially since you use the tripod as well as handheld. I've always been reluctant to go higher than ISO 100 for landscape photography. Is this rule of thumb wrong?
If the foliage is moving in the wind, I will need a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the motion, sometimes I will need to raise my iso to be able to achieve this. 👍
Hey, I wonder why you still use DXO, after all, in LR there is AI reduction, when you use denoising, all the bugs disappear and the quality of the photo improves
Great video again, Ian; thank you. I have learnt a lot since I started to watch you about four months ago. Can I ask you, Ian, what editing app do you use?

Great advice.....and that last image as a black and white conversion was both superb and very powerful. Cheers.
Thank you 🙏
Sunlight that falls directly on the object can also cast long shadows to provide extra depth. Depends on the situation.
great tip 👍

Thanks so much Paul, Contrast is super important 👍
Thanks for your precious advices, and I agree with you on taking break on postproduction, it works always!
Yes it does! 👍
Some beautifully taken shots, thanks for sharing😊

Great choice on the b&w for the last image Ian!

Nice tip on local edits. I cheat and never use the brush but I can see it opens another door to an image... And so great to see Luna.
Thank you 🙏

More food for thought there, Ian! Great to see the star of the show, Luna, make an appearance too
She's definitely the star 🌟 🐾
Thanks for the great tips! And so beautiful photos and video footage from the woodlands 👍🏻❤️.
Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Another fantastic video Ian! Have a great week!
Thanks, you too! 👍 nice profile pic 🐾
@@ian_worth haha! Thanks Ian! That is Bubba, just one 4 border collie’s my sister and brother in law have! Bubba lives for playing catch with the ball! Haha!
Great consistency in the quality of your vlogs Ian 👏 👏 👏
Thanks so much 🙏
Well done Ian, 😉✌

Great video again, Ian; thank you. I have learnt a lot since I started to watch you about four months ago. Can I ask you, Ian, what editing app do you use?
Thanks for watching the channel, I use Lightroom classic for most of my edits 👍
Ian, I just started following you on Instagram.
Thanks so much, I appreciate that 🙏
Out of curiosity why do you take out your camera brand in your cover photo of your video?
Just because it might look like the video is specifically for that camera and the video is more about the art of photography rather than the camera, 👍
@@ian_worth that makes sense!
I want to Ian collaborate with Thomas Heaten
Thomas seems like a really nice chap, I've never spoken to him but hopefully our paths will cross someday 👍
