    Your videos have really gone to the next level since you've transitioned from mostly camera reviews to the art of photography. This one was fascinating. Thank you very much. You're the best.

    A great episode and such an important topic.

    Best episode you have had in a long time Ted.... and there have been a lot of great episodes. For me what works here is taking a simple concept (layers), and then keep going a layer deeper.... I am already trying to think of how I would go to the next level in this concept (e.g. times, seasons, weather, movement).

    I'm glad we still have channels like this one where we can listen to a real, experienced artist who understands the photography craft. I'm sick of those young boys, holding their “vintage” or latest cameras and vomiting words, repeating pre-made sentences that they never actually studied but just heard from someone without even understanding. We are on the verge of not having anyone else to learn from or just to talk about this artform that shows life from a special and unique perspective. Thank you!

    Thx much! I can always count on you to teach a concept and to keep it fresh… it seems all the other RUclipsrs go on and on about gear. I like to know about new gear, but it gets old after a while. You always seem to have something good up your sleeve! Love your stuff!

    Excellent video on composition once again. I recognized the technique, and now I know what it's called! Another master of layering (and someone who I would love to see covered on the show in the style of the artist profiles you did some years ago) is Ray Metzker. Some f his street work, and especially the pictus interreptus series, use layering to really great effect.

    Yeah, Gestalt referred to this as Figure to ground and it really dictates that all layers of the image are equally important. Galen Rowell wrote about how people will often ignore the setting when taking their pictures and focus solely on the subject.

    @csb65536 2 года назад

    This video was recommended by another RUclips channel. It is a great insight into understanding what layers can add and how to use them. However my question(s) concerning overall composition is much too detailed (probably too long winded) to ask here. But it seems I can recognize when one of my photos “works” and when others don’t. But I don’t know the why’s even after having artists as well as others with an artistic eye agree with my recognition of a good vs not so good photo. To be honest, this video on layers helped me a lot on that specific area. Thank you.
