Hi Mike, I really liked this video. I've been a photographer now for nearly 40 years.. mostly press & editorial. I suffer from this disease of seeing pictures everywhere.. composing in my head, looking for angles and images even when I don't have a camera with me.. 'That would be a great picture.. Look at that light... etc etc..' I've explained it to my wife but she just looks blank.. I've said it to my dad when he just points and squirts.. and colleagues who never appreciated what we do, and had the attitude.... 'Well you've got a good camera.. it' can't be that hard to get a good picture. It is refreshing to see someone, make a video, who shares the same affliction as I do... Bravo.. & Thank you.

I've heard of chess players who see chess moves everywhere: “If you made a knight's move with that statue, it could capture the flagpole”. It's fine to practise your compositional skills, of course, as long as you're not doing anything else. But if I ever get to the point of obsession where I see pictures everywhere, even if I don't mean to, I know it'll be time for a different hobby.

@@skakdosmer I would not call it obsession, just being hard wired as a photographer. Most of my life photography was not a hobby but a job, and being able to use these compositional gymnastics on a news assignment meant you got pictures, faster and of a more varied nature...

Outstanding video Mike. Often, due to shooting wildlife and landscape mostly, I am having less than few seconds to bring the camera up,, focus and shoot so I will shoot in burst mode then crop in post to get the image I want. For example, a couple of years ago I shot one of my personal favorite photos while riding on a bus. The image was of horses in a field grazing while it was snowing. The image was a wide angle which was okay as there was one horse standing alone and a group of three standing together. All of the horses had snow on their backs however breaking the shot up into two groups in post gave me the shot I wanted. The horse standing alone was at the base of a large old tree and gave me the image I was seeing in my mind's eye. I had less than 5 seconds to get the shot. I probably will never have the chance at such a shot again since the horses are usually further north than on this day and to get them with the snow was pure luck. By the way, traveling at 60 miles per hour is a great way to change your point of view quickly.

A week after I bought my DSLR and consumed a bunch of photography tutorials, tips, tricks, warnings, rules of composition, I went on a week-long trip. And initially, I liked some of my photos, but found that none of them were really special. So every day, I put more effort into trying to capture the scene in a more interesting way. I had seen most of what was there in the first two or three days, so I had to work on different compositions with the same scenery. I did this more and more, and I ended up actually appreciating some of the shots I took the first day because I had tried everything else to change up the composition. If there’s one thing I’ve learned since the week I’ve been back, though, it’s that taking 1 picture is never enough. It’s only after I’m looking at my photos after the fact I noticed all the things I was missing, still. But I feel like I learned a lot, experimenting. And it was fun.

What I was thinking as I watched this video was something concrete as a place to launch. I wholeheartedly agree with you about looking at the whole photo. The background middle-ground and foreground all have to work together for the image. What I saw was say take three to five different shots from a minimum of three completely different angles (if possible). Develop more and more experience in doing this and it will become easier to Also, sometimes, when it comes to moving people, cars, etc. with enough photos (taking them from a tripod for example) they can be edited out in post.

Hi Mike, really enjoyed this! I have been telling students this for years. Walk around and check all the angles before deciding on the composition. However, with digital, take a lot of shots from all angles, have a look then decide. It is so much better than back in the film days when one could not instantly see the composition exposure to check for problems! I always carry a hand towel and plastic bag in case I have to sit/kneel down in the wet dirt or wet grass.

Some of your followers enhance your techniques to be visually more aware, without the need for a camera or video in hand. You teach the person to be in control, and not rely on the most expensive equipment to produce stunning results. Non-professionals like myself, I ask myself what all the images are for; yes different angles and perspectives one view: but also vast amounts of storage space on your computer equipment, plus Lightroom and Photoshop for interest; and the biggest investment of all : time!

Thanks M SCHOFIELD. Expensive equipment NEVER produces stunning results on it's own. But a cheap camera will produce stunning resukts if the photographer behind it has developed their abilities. As for all the images you take in finding the one that works best, just delete the ones you don't want. I just came back from a week in Iceland with maybe 60 images. I probably shot several times that many finding what worked best but i only keep the cream of the crop... And time is indeed the biggest investment of all.

@@MikeBrowne This is why I love your videos you are so positive famous quote: “just think about it”. Sometimes it is not a bad thing to step back from a situation and think things through. I remember once whilst on holiday as a younger person with my parents, waiting for Concorde to travel around Britain. We were given an approximate time of the fly past; it was due from the direction of Blackpool along the Welsh coast towards Bristol. My father a keen photographer was busying himself with his Leica camera, fiddling with his settings on a tripod optimising for film in those days for the best light and exposure. Although it came in sub sonic you could not hear the engines until it was past, and into the distance. My father completely missed it, I saw it coming and used my father’s video camera to record it. I have missed many a good County show or a local transport show by being completely absorbed in images and working the scene. I remember being asked by a Cheshire County Show judge if I would take the winning finalist of an event. I am keener to absorb the atmosphere with the occasional image these days: life’s balance.

Great video and information as always, I think your right when you say that you need your own time to practice not always easy but you have to make some time.

Sir, you just changed my perspective on seeing things when I shoot, I'm a little beginner, got my Canon 600D, I know might be old, but I literally love it, I believe doesn't need to be expensive to shoot great, is how you master it! I'm learning to get to know my Camera 😊

What a great video and so inspirational. I started thinking along these lines many years ago but never fully embraced it. And of course, the thought process involved applies to every camera from a smartphone to an expensive DSLR. The idea of actually running your eye around the edge of the frame to see what's included and what gets cropped is particularly useful. Thanks.

(Alan) .... That's so true Mike. I have mentioned this before, but I have a friend who bought an expensive camera, and only wants to take photos using an ND filter. He will go out, take one photo and that's it for the day. I'll go out into my garden and take 20 or 30 photos. I may delete most of them afterwards, but I usually end up with a couple of keepers. I just like taking photos and experimenting with settings. As you have always said, "..There's always a photo out there waiting to be taken..". Of course we all try to get it right in the camera, but I find, especially with sports photography, and to an extent with wildlife, that you fine tune the composition in post processing.
