    Dan Milnor said so much in those few minutes and able to make it clear that slowing down and getting those three elements of a photo, the foreground, midground and background to build depth and all tied together with good lighting. Thanks for video!

    I agree with what he says that photography must tell us something, a story. Sometimes I see photographs that are dedicated to street photography that make sounds to cause reactions or only take faces of astonished people but the environment says nothing. If I am going to take pictures of a person I like to know what he is doing if he is a craftsman, delve deeper into it and so take the photos which will have a greater meaning. And patience is the mother of all virtues.

I did a week to 2 week baseball project. And a few week shoot about a small community below a bridge that lives with the constant threat of flooding from a polluted river , canal . Such a tragic situation and all alone no government support

      It’s really your preference. Bob Holmes shoots on P for example. The main thing is knowing your camera so well that it doesn’t slow you down at that crucial moment! Or get in the way of your creativity💥
