    My first camera ever, the Sony ZVE10 arrives tomorrow. You have inspired me to get out of my comfort zone, get out there and just start my journey. Thank you for what you do, and please never stop posting your pictures and tutorials. I'm really glad to have found your page on Instagram! Take care and stay safe out there! ❤️

    What a first Video. I've been exited about this one for a while and have been following you for a bit and you have encouraged me to work towards experimenting with videography more and I have begun filming pov's for Instagram shorts and I hope to get my first one up soon and I cant wait to work towards a whole video one day👌

    I'm in love of your job. I always love photography, but I can't afford a good professional camera, but I have an old Nikon that gets the job done.
    But just now I'm thinking of making it more then a hobby. In my city not always you see "good cars" but I keep trying, that's when your account came in.
    I found you Instagram and now I'm obsessed with all your photos.
    But one of the most admirable things about you is that you keep sharing tips and lessons for everyone instead of keeping it for you, and that's really amazing, I really admire you and I hope I can get as far as you're now, keep the amazing job!!!

    Had a few photos from the Fox Collection when I was at the GP, lightroom definately helped make the images more presentable even if the angles werent fansastic and the images were quite grainy but it definately helped! This really helped me feel more confident taking photos and not second guessing myself.

    Brilliant video. Would be great to see a follow up where you go to the next level, using RAW format, utilising the other lenses and desktop applications in a different type of environment and then even a third level where you use pro/high level equipment!

    I am a beginner looking to buy a mirrorless camera. Please assist me in choosing among these three options: the Canon EOS M50 Mark II ($686 in India), Sony ZV-E10 ($740 in India), and Sony Alpha a6000 ($518 in India).
    Some have advised against the Sony a6000 due to its age and suggest that the Sony ZV-E10 would provide better long-term value.
    I welcome your recommendations or any other suggestions you may have.

  • @clorox1676
    @clorox1676 9 місяців тому

    Some great tips. I feel like you could give a little more nuanced advice on each tip, but then I get this is a kind of "quick tips" video. For example while you're absolutly right that foreground is important for composition one should never forget what's the main subject of the image and if whatever you are incorporating into the frame doesn't add anything to the main subject then you must leave it out. 2:18 The idea of framing the car with the leaves is good, but a good advice is to make sure that whatever you're using to frame the subject shouldn't take the viewer's eyes out of the main subject. That those bussiness cards on the table are very distracting and it's unavoidable to look at them. I'd totally crop them out. On the other hand, the framing with the Ferrari works very well because the shape of it creates lines that point to the Porsche, so it complements it. My advice is to be very aware of whatever is around the main subject and just incorporate things into the frame that directs the viewers' eyes to it instead adding stuff that may distract them just for the sake of adding stuff. The person who sees the picture don't look at it the way you see it when you take it, so you must compose the frame in a way that points the viewer what you really want to show them. Just my two cents.
