Your music analogy was perfect to explain why professional photographers still use the rule of thirds 99% of the time even though photography is art and subjective! Well thought out video on composition Ralph, tons of information in here!
Thank you! :)
Composition is so important - great that you made this video! Sounds so simple in theory, but like you said, a lot goes into it before even taking the photo
Very well thought out and explained. Probably the best video I've seen on th subject. Thank you!
Thank you! glad you enjoyed it.
Wow this video is super helpful! Love how you broke it down and you are really great at explaining the concepts. Much easier to digest and loved the sample shots you put in to demonstrate 😊
Thank you! :)
Love this Ralph!
I appreciate your examples and how you place certain messages to help us all see what you are talking about.
I enjoy using geometry for our photos, but obviously you don’t find that everywhere.
I learned the rule of thirds in film school, and they taught us how the human eye tend to go to each of the 4 corners and its order. It stick with me.
Different perspectives are like a magic key. Show things from points most people don’t usually look from, that’s why drone shots are so like-able
Landscape can be tricky, when we were in Utah I had a tough time liking my own photos because I didn’t want the beautiful landscape to look blah... and I had to move the focus up and down, left to right several times and shot shot shot.
Love this video Ralph
Thank you! Sometimes I don't like my photos and then I come back to them a few weeks later and I find some that I like. Taking a lot of photos is always a good habit :)
Hyun Ralph Jeong yes until you go back and see 100 photos of the same piece of ice hahaha 😂
But yes absolutely
Thanks so much for this! There’s still a lot I need to learn about photography so thanks for making this so easy to understand for a beginner.
I never thought I could last 10min listening to one man talking 'til I watched this. I was surprised myself. Very useful information. Great content. Thank you! 😊
Really like how you show your own photos as examples - helpful and also enjoy seeing your great photography
Thank you!
Your videos are extremely helpful. My father and I have taken up photography as a way to distract ourselves from the pandemic and bond. We came across your videos and loved the way you explain topics. We both have a Canon Rebel T6and are just getting started. Thank you for your efforts! You've made this learning experience very easy to understand.
Thank you and really appreciate the comment. Feel free to ask me any questions you have and have fun with your camera :)
Your so right on composition.. Focal point and subject is rather important.. If you want to create a story you want to tell a viewer.. I was a terrible photographer.. Everything i shot was straight street with no sense of direction.. Thabks for reminding me about importance of composition
Excellent video and explanation. I wish I had found your site years ago. Thank you.😊
I just loved your explanation on the non existing ROT gold spots..."you don't have to be super accurate with the number" (the phi grid).
This is so awesome Ralph. When I first started photography, I read lots of articles on composition (rule of the thirds, etc. etc.) and I don't think I still quite mastered it - but then again, it really is all about the balance as you put it, not about the numbers or technicality. This is probably the best tutorial on composition I have come across so far!
Thank you! Yeah, no need to overthink it. If you're having fun shooting, that's all that matters
very informational and interesting, thanks for making this video.
Forgot how great your tutorials are. Nice vid man!
I know it's been 2 years since you've released this but I just wanted to say that this was an excellent video with a concise and clear explanation of the concepts.
Far too many vids on UA-cam focus on shapness & way way too many on bokeh. Composition should be about 80-90 % of the vids. So this is very refreshing & sorely needed. Thank You very much for your effort here. The youngins just don't get enough of this.
Great point about not making the photo not too rigid by centering.
Your presentation is excellent in bringing clarity to science of art ,let it be photography or painting.You have made the heavyweight light.Good acoustic too.
Very helpful especially what you said about learning the other techniques.
I love how you teach in ways I can understand.
Great advice and very well explained!!!...I found it was easy to overthink the shot trying to remember what rule to apply..now I keep it simple with the rule of 3rds and find that works best for me!!
Thank you for this. I live a few miles away from 7 Magic Rocks. I wasn't happy with my composition. I think I'll try some of your tips and try again
Wow! You packed in so much info in this video 🙏 I appreciate you using so many examples to emphasise your point.
“You can’t be lazy and be a photographer”. 100%
Great video. Well explained in a short easy to watch video. A good teacher. Keep them coming!
You hit the point there, the technique seems easy on paper but it’s hard when it comes to actually capture the photo. Good tips here Ralph, thanks for reminding us again 👍 the composition really makes or breaks the photo 🙂
Great one. Learned camera settings from your video and now this. Thank you
Hi Hyun, Thank you very much for explaining the basic composition simply and clearly for a beginner like me.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video Hyun.Agree 100%
love the way you explain the topic, i really understand everything you said. thx jeong more blessing brother
glad you enjoyed it
my 10 year old son got interested in photography so this video helped him a lot thank you
Hey, this was super helpful! Just started photography as a hobby this Fall, and noticed that some photos "felt" good, and some "felt" awkward - unbalanced, pointless, bland. Looking over my more successful photos, the ones that worked followed (unintentionally) these suggestions. Now that I have a more systematic understanding, am looking forward to taking more good photos! Thanks so much, Hyun.
Sorry for the late reply but I'm glad the video helped!
Thank you sir. I Judy bought a Nikon recently and this helps me so much. I saw your video on photography for beginners. Very helpful. Keep it up brother. Thanks
I enjoy listening to you explanations and photography lessons
MAAAN , I LOVE your tutorials , So much fun and informative . Specially the way you deliver the your idea using editing and all that interactive stuff , Hope you keep going and see you rocking
I love how concise and informative your videos are.. thank you! 🙏 Great explanation of the basics
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Never really thought about hierarchy when it comes to the focal point. I like using natural framing quite a bit. Love the rule of thirds. I'm always cutting Nabol's head and he hates it. LOL Yes! Photos closer to the floor are some of my favorites. Really enjoyed this video, Ralph. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you! :)
I like this video. I have just bough my first camera lumix G85 and I'm trying to learn how to shot in manual mode. Thank you for your tips.

Saúl Miranda Thank you, glad you enjoyed it :)
love this
Thank you
Thanks for this...I'm loving it! :)
Excellent tutorial.
Very informative Ralph.👍 Composition is really very important to tell a story or what you want people to see with your photos.👌 btw like all your photos. Never really use rule of thirds just use what i think is right for that photo lol but now that i watched your video will definitely pay more attention about it. Great video Ralph.✌🏻
👍
Now you know the rules.
Now forget the rules and take pictures 😂😂😂😂
Great video
wonderful explanation Hyun - high protein digestible !
Thank you for this nice explanation.
I think many people knows "composition", rulenlf thirds, etc. But when they are not on "shooting mode" they forfet about that.
I mean, for example they are in the middle of an event...or travelling or suddenly see something and want to catch a photo of it, they out there doing something else, not taking photos, then they forget about "the rules". It happens to me a lot. I can be in photo mode "ok, let's go take photos now" and study well the composition and all. Butnowadays that we easily carry camera(phone) everywhere and do other things, when we capture a moment all those roles are usually forgotten 😅
Do you have any tip to force the brain to remember those rules even with a casual shot ?
I always wonder, there might be some selfie composition rules that aren't the same as you talked in this video, right? Is there any "study" about selfies? 🤔
May I allow to give my 2 cents. After one has enough experience, certain "techniques" would become habits. For instance, recognize good light, background, sub framing and especially removing distractions. In some ways, it is either part of the art of seeing or spaced repetition. Difference with selfie? None I can think of since taking a selfie is just photographing oneself with the camera's timer or a long remote shutter release cable in the past.
@@bfs5113 thanks! not that i am into selfies, but since it's also photography...i wondered.
yeah, i guess it will be a matter of habit!
@@LifetimeTravelmates Yeah, if you shoot enough photos with intent, then your techniques will spill over to your snapshots even without thinking about them. However, it dilutes the pure joy of photography.
@@bfs5113 true!
Very well done and accessible
Thank you!
⭐️Excellent!!!⭐️
What about "rule of quarters"?
Nice tutorial.
Thanks!
Really like the photo in the thumbnail. Really drawn to those colors. Where was that taken?
Thanks, it's an art installation in the desert between LA and Vegas called "Seven magic mountains."
You can't be lazy and be a good photographer :)

I have to agree but hate the fact that the photographer have to give all to the viewer and viewer is lazy by nature.
Just like tv, or UA-cam videos...there is not much space for thinking or subtly suggesting. All have to be cut, and peeled and prepare ready to digest... ☹️
The music in the background is distracting
