In this week’s episode, we discuss the best composition advice I've ever heard! Perhaps the most difficult aspect of landscape photography has to do with the ability to create compelling and easy to view compositions. There's so much information out there discussing the topic of landscape photography compositions that it's easy to become overwhelmed with the abundance of information available on the topic.
In this video, we discuss the all time best composition advice I've ever heard..and I've heard a lot over the years. The best part about this advice, besides its effectiveness of course, is that it's such a natural way to think about composition and so simple to apply to your own landscape photos. I really wish I knew this years ago as I think this would have sped up my rate of improvement when it comes to creating exciting landscape compositions. I hope you enjoy this week's video and are able to apply this technique to your landscape photography moving forward. Thanks for watching! - Mark D.

What's the best photography advice you've ever received?
Best advice with respect to landscape photography I've taken to heart: a beautiful scene does not always translate into a beautiful picture. Sometimes it's better to just take in your surroundings and enjoy the moment and not get frustrated hunting for a composition that's just not there.
The only one who needs to like the photo is the person that took it .. If its good enough for them then its good enough full stop
Best tip was to once you get to your location is to RELAX. I was always so excited to finally get there that I felt rushed to try and get my shot in. Thanks again, Mark!
If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this basalt column, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move! Mark 21/09
You really are the Bob Ross of photography.
One of my biggest issues is when traveling to a new location is I try to mimic compositions I've seen online whether from Instagram or Google maps. Definitely taking a step back to absorb the landscape prior to pulling out my camera is something I need to work on.
You have Dugger's Creek Falls in you video. Such a hidden gem! Most people only go to Linville Falls not even knowing it is there (much better of a fall as well imo).
If we have the opportunity to cooperate with you, it will be our honor. We have prepared a special ultra-wide-angle lens to help you shoot. If you are interested, please contact me directly
Been awhile since I commented on one of your videos, not for lack of watching, just lazy I guess. Wanted you to know I've been a fan since you started and appreciate the tools you present. Peace, Brother.
When I arrive on a scene I stand still for a moment, take in the sights, sounds, smells. I'll walk around for a bit, looking how the various elements shift and move. I look for what brought me there to begin with, then instead of bringing out my camera I use my cellphone to dial in where I want to take the shot from, only then do I bring out my tripod and camera. Just doing that has saved me so much time. Instead of running around with the camera gear trying to find an elusive composition in the brambles along the Blue Ridge Parkway, I forced myself to slow down... and paradoxically managed to speed up the whole process. [Except the waiting, there's still so much waiting] Hope to see you out here during the autumn colors Mark!
You are a gem for beginner landscape photographers Mark. Thank you for your efforts and hard work! Please continue spreading your knowledge.
Simply the best advice i've heard since a long time. It's relevant and also well explained. Really love that scene with the mushroom!
Another great video, Mark. It's something I try to do more and more, as well as taking my time, looking around, and especially looking back at the way I came on the way to the location!
This is extremely helpful Mark. Many times I get on location and see that love what I'm looking and struggle with knowing what to take the shot of and end up just prematurely taking shots. I get back to the computer and realize that I liked this piece of this one shot and loved another piece of another shot and find them to be useless photos. I never took the time to put together the puzzle and ultimately never stopped to think about what it was that I really loved about the scene. So simple yet it makes perfect sense. Thank you!
This it what I have been doing subconsciously since I started taking photos, and I have only heard one other photographer emphasize this. When you start to do this consciously it just feel right. Also look through 360 degrees, the light might be doing something interesting behind or above you.
Great advice Mark. Sometimes we try to overcomplicate things. And yes, that mushroom!
Nicely put, Mark. Not only is it great to revisit those locations in Iceland with you through your photos, this advice takes out all the unnecessary complexities of composing a scene and helps to streamline our approach to capturing what compels us to take out our camera in the first place. Thanks again! :D
Thanks Mark. I've been trying to grasp the concept of composition and I keep seeing videos that give me all these rules. This video really simplifies it. Identify what I love and try to capture it.
I go out with two others regularly and am always amazed at how differently we see the very same things.
