I literally laughed out loud when you said your woodland wasn’t boring, it was your photos that were boring!! 😂 That’s exactly how I feel about my woodland photos. Great advice on expectations and just enjoying the journey. Thank you for another great video!!
Hi Trish, thanks a lot for your kind comment 😊 It took a while that I found that out, to be honest 😆 Woodland is not difficult, it just takes a while that we can see the forest for trees. Enjoy your Sunday, Christian
Super schöne Bilder, Christian! Toll, wie du die „Dreidimensionalität“ der Landschaft eingefangen hast, das ist wahre Foto-Kunst, mir würde so etwas vermutlich nie gelingen 😅. Danke für‘s Teilen und liebe Grüße 👋🏼
Hi Chris, vielen lieben Dank 😊 Doch, das würde auch dir gelingen. Beobachte nächstes mal im wald einfach was das licht macht und dann fotografierst du genau das 😉 hab einen schönen Sonntag, Christian
Hey Christian, I'm new to your videos and I really appreciate the enthusiasm and encouragement you bring to go out and shoot. Throughout the video, you mentioned the word "plasticity" quite a bit. While I'm familiar with the term in a few different contexts, I found myself wondering what you exactly mean by it. Could you please define plasticity? Thank you!
Hi Manuel, thanks a lot for your kind words, my friend :) To your question according to plasticity: as a photo has just two dimensions, but the objects we photograph have three dimensions, we need to show the elements in our 2D-image in a way so that it looks like 3D. Plasticity is the answer. I made already a video about this topic, by the way, where I show up 7 things you can do to get this sense of depth and plasticity in a photograph: ruclips.net/video/SxQHwZGo-0k/видео.html Nice greetings, Christian
I always feel that composition is like trying to solve a puzzle. There is this one tree in a local park that I've been trying to capture for about 2 years now. I've tried different lenses, different conditions, different angles, .... So far I'm not satisfied with anything. But one day I'll figure it out!
Hi Eric, I know so well what you mean, I was struggling for so many years. Try it maybe like that: forget the tree. Ask yourself why you want to photograph it. What is it you find so appealing? And then try to find out which elements you need to include and from which angle. Maybe you don't need to capture the entire tree to reach your goal. Keep it up. It will work, also when it feels it doesn't 👍 Enjoy your weekend, Christian
Hi Björn, yes, it is. And there is a good reason therefore. If you are interested, I made a video where I go in detail: ruclips.net/video/xp9xdsjYFQI/видео.html Thanks a lot for watching, my friend 😉 Nice greetings, Christian
Ah ok, if it works, thats fine! But pretty heavy. I have just been to a Californian national park where bear spray was not allowed. before a long hike I had seen 2 black bears near the trailhead. so I can understand it:-)
Hi Thomas, thank you, my friend 😊 Tell me a bit more about what you struggle with exactly on mountains. Maybe I could make a video about that. Nice greetings, Christian
Two problems near limits on 20mmf4 lens give me soft pictures on the fore ground. Switch to a 18mmf2.8 lens and saving for a 15mm using a ff camera.. I often get flatt landscape pictures when using wider lenses and when I puting things in the fore ground. At 1600 meter and above sea level, not many trees

Lovely photos. You mention “plasticity” a few times. What is plasticity?
Thank you, Will 😊 That is that kind of 3D effect you get by using the light for modelling, as I did with the 2nd image.
Nice greetings,
Christian
Hi Christian. Is that a bear spray on your pack´ in Austria. ?
Hi Björn, yes, it is. And there is a good reason therefore. If you are interested, I made a video where I go in detail: ruclips.net/video/xp9xdsjYFQI/видео.html

My problem is mountain photography; I never got a good photo there. I like the last picture
Hi Thomas, thank you, my friend 😊 Tell me a bit more about what you struggle with exactly on mountains. Maybe I could make a video about that.

“I’m afraid to fail,” the easiest way to fail at anything. I’m constantly fighting that fear myself.
