- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- Having been making photographs for over 20 years and written numerous books on the subject, I would like to share with you the ONE most important SECRET to master composition. Forget the rule of thirds, leading lines and all the other conventions that people repeatedly hammer into your head.
You need to understand the core value of what is interesting and how it makes you feel.

Very clear and informative.
Life is filled with transitions. I usually get excited by the "edges" of a scene, the interplay between cool and warm, hard and soft, textured and smooth - you name it you have it. I love that you use the "arch" as an example. I remember myself standing there in awe. And the last image, of the patterns in the sand, make me want to follow the traces into nowhere - as a walking meditation maybe. Beautiful video packed with creative truth!
Thanks as always for the kind and supportive words. Yeah, it is true that the same rhythms and transitions can filter through a wide variety of images.
Wonderfully explicit & very clear. A super expression of composition.
Many thanks!
Thanks Alister and I agree that transitions are key to a successful image. Another aspect which often adds interest and dynamism is the height that you have your tripod! Looking down or up can significantly alter the final outcome. The only problem getting low is getting up again!😂
Absolutely! Perspective is also a transition... ;-)
Fantastic video. Alister. Love this transitions discussion. Thank you!
Thanks so much! It is such a great concept when you start to look at the world through those ideas.
Thank you for this. It helps me think about how I compose images.
You're very welcome!
Great video, Alister. The big takeaway for me is "care has been taken."
Excellent, sometimes it is little statements like that which open big doors
Great advice and examples to illustrate transitions, It makes a lot of sense..........although I'm not sure the image of me was my better side 🤣
lol, thanks mate ❤️ both your sides are better 🫣
Fantastic Alister. Perhaps one of the most useful insights I have received from YT for some time. 🙏🙏
Awesome, thank you! Delighted to hear that
Always inspiring advice, taken from a perspective that I hadn’t considered.
Thanks for that simple and clear explanation of transitions, Alister. It is something I do intuitively, but not consciously or consistently. I should be more aware and deliberate with it. Cheers!
You're very welcome! - I am glad you've found it useful.
Fantastic video and a wonderful insight into your thought process on how you look at and compose your landscapes.
The image with the sea arch is outstanding!
Cheers!
Great point Alister, I will think about transition next time I work with my photographs. Many thanks!
Thanks again for the inspiring video! This idea of transitions within an image is very interesting and also complements very well what I have learned from you so far. I am looking forward to use it next time in field!
Glad you enjoyed it! I really appreciate the kind feedback.
I‘d rather have seen the transition of a handsome Scottish photographer to a toilet brush 🤠. Thank you ever so much for this one, Alister.
🤓 HAHA... I'm not taking that hat off until spring!!
@@Alister_Benn 😒
Great video.
So valuable. I’ll be sure to give you credit when I share this with clients. I call it depth, but it is very close to the same thing.
Thanks for that, really appreciated
Nice to meet you at the photo show on Monday! Best wishes
Very good advice. You seem upbeat. Woohoo.
I try - :-) - Doing really well and feeling good, thanks for the kind feedback.
Great and "expressive" as always. Still waiting on a chat regarding how to use the various perspectives. Just a thought. Loved the toilet bowl brush analogy. Bill
Many thanks for that, the hair rebels!! Remind me what you mean by “how to use the various perspectives?”
@@Alister_Bennthe difference/impact of the various ratios (square, 3:2, 5:3, 16:9) on the appearance/expressiveness of the photo. Sorry for the lack of clarity. Bill
@@dwrisdon2487 Ah, thanks for that. I do have some interesting videos tucked away in here on Aspect Ration. This one for example: ruclips.net/video/K77IJyJxE_o/видео.html
@@Alister_Bennthanks for pulling this vid out of the archieves, a great primer and review. I have gravitated to 3:2 in shooting the dynamic clouds around a group of mountains a dozen or so miles away. It seems to work well. You worry me when you state that the aspect ratio and our perception of it are constantly in flux. Many days I feel as if the camera is on 3:2 and I may be on 16:9. I'm doomed!!! As always thanks, Bill
