Thank you B & H. 51 minutes does not do this justice. Please have Ian back for another presentation. I am sure he has many more ideas and thoughts to share. Many thanks Ian for a very refreshing and insightful talk on the art of composition.

The HDR crosses the borders of kitsch; he refers countless times to "the great painters" and "the great painters of the Renaissance" without naming a single painter or painting; he cites Mozart's symphonies as exemplifying musical counterpoint; and he is younger, better looking and more enterprising and talented than me. Still a rewarding video, though.

Very interesting, but it also helps when a person has a natural creativity and is not hampered by this. Photography must be the only 'art' form that you have to wear 'all the hats' and not just pick up a paintbrush or a guitar (if you see what I mean - no offence meant obviously).

Great job Ian! I learned quite a bit from this presentation. It's nice to see you teach composition with the understanding the importance on structure, definition, perspectives,and there formulas, the way the Master did it. These lessons along with this fine art somehow got lost in translation with the insane craziness of the digital era. With the quality of point and shoot cameras, tablets, phablets, and smart phones getting better by the week in a fast paced world. These days who needs training really? Everyone wants to be you! All they need to do is save a months wages, buy a decent used camera that looks professional, a couple of used lenses, put it in program mode AF and point and shoot. Possibly, a TTL auto flash or one's built in, Along with inexpensive editing programs and a laptop and they're in business. No license required! Thank you for your lesson, looking forward to your book!

When Ian Plant shows the photo of the stream (roughly 8:00 min into the video), he mentions that the exposure was 3-4 seconds long. This simply means that the shutter speed was set to 3 or 4 seconds. The longer exposure allows for the motion of the stream to blur, creating the lines that suggest motion in the photo. *Christina* AskKZitem@bhphoto.com

Hi, to me this is the VERY BEST video I have ever seen regarding that topic from hundredth of them I watched. Difficult topic I must say! Ian Plant masters perfectly the subject and succeeds in finding a straight, simple, clear and super efficient way to deliver the very meaning of what landscape photographers are running after. Thank you very much for being that much understandable. You put words on some notions sometimes still a bit misty to me until today. You have been so really helpful to me that I already know I will be improving my shots' composition and storytelling next time I am in the field. Please, keep delivering us that high level of knowledge, I am already ready to listen to such of good quality pieces of advice. Many thanks!!!

Excellent video- One can instantly tell when a photographer 'gets it' because their photos show they understand composition better than most- Folks like Ian, Jack Dykinga, etc really emphasize composition, and turn what would be ordinary looking scenes into something that just has that little extra something- visual flow- Visual flow is the element missing in so many photographs that could really set the scenes apart- Some photos show great scenes but the right angles and compositional flow would really help them more- This is one of the best videos on composition- well done!

There is a great deal of learned technique and understanding of what elements make a composition or an image compelling. I don't think it is quite unravelled yet. It is well nigh impossible to bottle the capability of rendering nature to a framed perspective as Plant has done. I am fairly sure it takes a good deal of effort however and rigorous application of some inspirational vision.. much as acting.. but hitting the notes just so.. difficult to say how. Steiglitz, Cartier Bresson had it.. magic of the moment, light, balance of an image the way it impacts the senses.. click and voila! Plants own self analysis is very good in that he is aware of the what of the technique.. as one would expect.. no one drives a racing car without consciousness of many levels of performance..
