A friend of mine, who is really into photography, told me to look into the topic of leading lines, so here I am, and I have to say, it's really interesting!
Cheers, Mike, and a huge thank you for another great episode. One of the trademarks elements of your videos are you always support your theoretical elements with appropriate images you made; however, I've just found out that the background of your videos are also very supportive in that way. 0:28 you are talking about leading lines and I see immediately plenty of them behind your back. Just an example, there a lots of them in the same manner in this clip. Amazing!
And thank you so much for your kind words!! I do a lot of planning for these videos and it's great to get comments like this where you have spotted the subtleties of how I have filmed them! Lot's of "easter eggs" like this to be had in my back catalogue of videos!! As always thanks for watching 😁👍
Nice Video!! I like to use the railing on the ship when im sailing or other design features that can work as a leading line. I also use some railings on land that points towards the ships, and i use the orange/yellow lines where the mooring bollard's are, and the mooring lines too toward's the ships!! 😁And sand trails on the beach or road's 😊
I am really enjoying this series, Mike. Leading lines can really make a good photo great. I try to incorporate them whenever I can. I will look forward to the negative space video next week. I have been on a minimalist kick lately, so that will be right up my alley. 5 weeks left to master the Welsh language. It is going fjkwxbvdhgwq. If I am not mistaken, that is "good" in Welsh. If not, English it will be... Hope you are well, my friend.
Thanks very much!! The negative space video is out now. Here's the link just in case you missed it: ruclips.net/video/j8lM0QiyaOI/видео.htmlsi=IsKxpA46ywG6Iew_ Thanks for watching 😁👍
Almost skipped this one. Topic has been so frequently and thoroughly covered on YT and elsewhere that my sense is that it would be challenging to come up w/new “perspectives” or “slants”. Wet road bit was different, though. AI can add that boat in the lake - final image is your own creation.
Spot on man, I really have to get in the habit of checking before I leave the location. I always have sets of photos where I thought I got that shot. Then I realize I goofed and was slightly off. Yikes. Haha.
Hey dude! I hope all is good with you!! It is so easy to leave the location and then look at the photos afterwards and see where you should have stood! 😆 I still do it sometimes and kick myself when I do!! The key to get around it is to shoot the hell out of the subject... and then when you are editing, look for patterns... are there things you always miss, or are there ones you always like... then make a note of them and remember to read those notes when you are out shooting next. This seems to work for me and helps me get better photographs as well as being more efficient. 😁👍
Hi Mike: Another great video. Thanks for creating and sharing. The use of leading lines is something that I always try to consider but when I can't employ them in the capture, I do notice that the image isn't as strong as it could be. Cheers, Keith (Canada)
Fantastic series Mike! I look forward to your weekly presentations focusing (pun) on various elements of landscape photography. I really like your bridge-leading line image to the Milky Way!. One question - As you evolved as a landscape photographer I get a sense you are using more telephoto/zoom lenses in your work than when you starting out. True?
Hey Jim, Great to hear you like my latest series. This is true... and it is down to the practicalities of landscape photography and hiking to far off locations. I much prefer to have a couple of lenses at most to be able to hike further, or just to make the experience more enjoyable, instead of lugging around a packed and heavy camera bag... and with the way photography is going, it is more about displaying your photos on line than selling prints. Although in saying that, I have been more than happy with the printed results I get from the tamron lenses. As always thanks for watching 😁👍
Thanks so much for your kind words Lenny. I am not a teacher, but my wife is, as well as my older brother and sister... and my dad used to be a university lecturer ... so I guess some of that knowledge has rubbed off on me!! 😆 Thanks for watching 😁👍
❤ Am doing a short course on digital photography and find this channel REALLY clear and helpful - the only blur is what might make up an ideal shot!

Lol!! Not enough consonants!! 😆
Great video, Mike. Not only pointing at the subject but for the flow of the picture itself. That is difficult to show sometimes. Stay safe out there.
As always, thanks very much Lance!! Getting flow in a leading line is a challenge, but really fun when you do get it!! 😁👍
... it's really good video, very informative, as usual... i can't wait for another one about negative space... thank you...
Thanks very much!! The negative space video is out now.

@@mikesphotography Thanks, Mike! ;) Great tips. I’ll have to make notes on my phone or go and get a small notepad. ;) Hope all is well on your end!

Thanks so much Kieth!! They are sometimes hard to spot, but great when you do find them! 😁👍
