Great video. I found this really useful, easy to follow your style too, many thanks for your time and effort in making these videos.

Artificial intelligence brought me here 🫣

Liked, subscribed, I want to know an efficient workflow for making very pretty photos

Yo! great video, I was cruising YT trying to small photographer/creators like you! Keep it up, loved the video!

Learned more in this video than I have from any other beginner-oriented video I've watched so far. Cheers!

Great! Thx!

Most I see in these example pictures is confirmation bias, tbh

I am tired to look to a people filming themselves reading from a paper or a prompter what they have to say. And about the rule of thirds... too much people talk about this small subject and not at all relevant. But it is what it is. You must provide clips after clips. :)

Great video, dropped a like and a follow, you deserve it!

4:07 This image would look _so_ much better if somebody could please vomit into the lower left corner… This is a ”composition“ of a left-handed moron pretending he knows something about photography.

Well, first off, I don't do well remembering rules of photography... there are too many. When I look through the lens I just try to make things "work" and that is where I am... shoot for fun, shoot for what looks good to my eye, and don't worry about it.

While I agree that using other techniques can improve your photography I still think starting with TROT is very important to get the basic idea of how a composition should work. Especially for those who's coming into photography. It's a lot in the beginning to think about and mixing a lot of different compositional techniques into that will only overwhelm (most) people.

Personaly I am using the rule of whatever-the-fuck-looks-cool-and-interesting.

Thanks, that's interesting!

Fun fact about the "rule" of thirds: it was _never_ used before 1797, and has _never_ been used sinc by any major painter or photographer. Granted, it could be a crutch to take people from a neophyte to a beginner level, when photos were taken with camaera that had that central circle for focusing and neophytes had a tendency to place the subject dead center on that circle. But with smartphones and modern cameras, I strongly believe this "rule of thirds" should be taught and explicitely decribed as a complete beginner aid, but then the first and most important true rule should be introduced: balance.

Its really difficult sometimes, but I like to cheat the rule of thirds with game of lines in the image. If you have naturally appearing lines leading to your subject, it doesn't really matter whether its on the arbitrary grid - it brings the eyes towards the subject one way or another. But so far I had luck only very few times to really pull it off! Great video and thanks for a book recommendation!

Fängt ja schon beschissen an.

Hi Ross. So glad I found your YT channel. I took a lot of photos in NY near there and wasn't sure how to edit. Love your technique and can't wait to try it. Thank you!

Man , this was great, tbh I'm not a patient person, and your advice here 14:33 just made me realise my mistake, you are a great teacher, keep it up

The link for the presets is dead. Great video btw.. thank you

I love this vid! im currently at a place where my store was my full time income and now ts not, what did you do during those times?

Everything is nice but your sky replacement does not compliment the shadows...sun is now not at correct posision and although very beautiful it is not correct!

This is wonderful advice, today I'll implement the 3 faq photos! I notice you are in the UK, I am too, do you sell to America or just stay in the UK market?

You use that paper with reproductions of artistry works, such as oil, acrylic, watercolor?

So glad I found you. I have been selling on Etsy since 2015 (digital art) and I took a break due to personal issues. I was able to make a full time living from my art. Since being back, Etsy is flooded with AI and I can't seem to make many sales anymore. Was thinking of giving up. You just motivated me to keep up with it, thank you.

Hi Ross , What is the file and is it straight from camera please ? new to your channel.

Subscribed. Great explanation

Links are expired, can you please provide a correct link pls?

Great video Ross, Keep at it !

Thank you for this video, I've spent most of my day trying to sort out what to do with my store. I have a print store but I never had a lot of sales in the time in which it's been open. I had gotten discouraged and took everything down and started fresh but still no sales. 🥹 I've decided to no longer have a print store on Etsy and just to open my shop through something like Shopify. I will still use the advise you have given for my new store because it's very valuable. 🤗

Good video, thank you

Really like your video. I Sell on etsy and most of the youtube is filled with POD, AI art and how to make money with that. I make art using laser and have literally all the issues that you discuss, I make what I like, I do not do trend research . I am really struggling. Thank you for your video. Waiting for more. I feel My art is "useless" to others , Do you provide any service where I can ask questions . Just wanting some help before I give up. Thank you

I loved the #3 settings and showing what happens at different shutter speeds. Now I know how to view what I am looking for with the examples. I really liked the 0.6 sec the best. I have struggled with what actually looks nicer. This really answered my questions and thoughts on what I want and looks best. I finally got the ND filter for my new lens yesterday. We are heading for rough surf (warning just popped up) here in San Diego with coming rain storm in a few days. Excited to go back out at mid to low tide to see what I will capture. I have many tidepools to go out to practice on. Thank you for making this video!! Very helpful! Plus thank you about the multi shoot on my camera. I have not used it and this will be perfect to test out. Great video!!!

I found Etsy full of scams and bots and not a good place to do business.

my tone curve isnt allowing me to make the dots like it is with yours any suggetions ?

I never realized how powerful the curve tool can be. Thanks for opening up my eyes. I've learned a lot.

You call this BRUSH?????? that is TEXTURE, USE WITH BLENDING MODE, I think you need a TUTORIAL to learn HOW TO MAKE ADAMN BRUSHES

I love how concise you are, while still explaining in great detail. That was a quick sub!! Thank you

(Local) color grading is still not available within LR masks, right? I know we can use the tone curve with masks but I prefer the wheels!

Great video! I'd never even noticed the global option before!

Just found your channel by chance, and working my way through. Really enjoying the vids. Any idea when your lightroom course is coming?

Thats a great tutorial. Thank you. I use Affinity Photo for my edits; its a powerful tool, but without presets. I feel my images are lacking 'punch' and, well, the professional look and feel. I'm often tempted to reconsider Lightroom; it seems to have a lot more features and control. Will check out your other videos 👍🏻

It's a great tool but as of now I gotta disagree with just shooting everything in focus thinking you might as well fix it in the edit. The Ai tool produces some strange artefacts on the edges between stuff that's in and out of focus, in-camera still does it a lot better.

Thank you. You have a big heart ❤

This is brilliant. Thanks for the guidance. Subscribed! 🙌 Can you accomplish the same effect with an old version of Lightroom, without separate tone curve nor color correction feature?

Thank you!

The preset is rare to find

Thank you!

I first

Thanks for this vidéo, incredibly helpful for me ! Love it !
