    Thank you B & H. 51 minutes does not do this justice. Please have Ian back for another presentation. I am sure he has many more ideas and thoughts to share.
    Many thanks Ian for a very refreshing and insightful talk on the art of composition.

      +Jay V I got that feeling as well, it ended with that feeling that Plant had a lot more to say on this subject! hope B&H brings him back soon.

    Great video! Ian is one of the few photographers who tries to teach his audience instead of advertising himself. His works are amazing and speak for themselves.
    I would like to see more of his presentation here.

    Ian, extremely well done! Trying to explain composition and the elements behind it can be very difficult, and believe me I know, I have tried. You have managed to explain an artistic element of composition very effectively!
    Great Job - Rick

    Great job Ian! I learned quite a bit from this presentation.
    It's nice to see you teach composition with the understanding the importance on structure, definition, perspectives,and there formulas, the way the Master did it.
    These lessons along with this fine art somehow got lost in translation with the insane craziness of the digital era. With the quality of point and shoot cameras, tablets, phablets, and smart phones getting better by the week in a fast paced world.
    These days who needs training really? Everyone wants to be you! All they need to do is save a months wages, buy a decent used camera that looks professional, a couple of used lenses, put it in program mode AF and point and shoot. Possibly, a TTL auto flash or one's built in, Along with inexpensive editing programs and a laptop and they're in business. No license required!
    Thank you for your lesson, looking forward to your book!

    Remarkable for him, Ian, not just talking the talk, but also walking the walk. He is a master composer indeed, and his images make sure up for a presentation style that may occasionally cling a bit too close to his bullet points.

  • @stephanepechou49
    @stephanepechou49 8 лет назад

    Hi, to me this is the VERY BEST video I have ever seen regarding that topic from hundredth of them I watched. Difficult topic I must say!
    Ian Plant masters perfectly the subject and succeeds in finding a straight, simple, clear and super efficient way to deliver the very meaning of what landscape photographers are running after.
    Thank you very much for being that much understandable. You put words on some notions sometimes still a bit misty to me until today. You have been so really helpful to me that I already know I will be improving my shots' composition and storytelling next time I am in the field.
    Please, keep delivering us that high level of knowledge, I am already ready to listen to such of good quality pieces of advice.
    Many thanks!!!

  • @Nazareth434
    @Nazareth434 8 лет назад

    Excellent video- One can instantly tell when a photographer 'gets it' because their photos show they understand composition better than most- Folks like Ian, Jack Dykinga, etc really emphasize composition, and turn what would be ordinary looking scenes into something that just has that little extra something- visual flow- Visual flow is the element missing in so many photographs that could really set the scenes apart- Some photos show great scenes but the right angles and compositional flow would really help them more- This is one of the best videos on composition- well done!

    I agree that sometimes people become too dogmatic in their thinking of composition. Rule of Thirds can help with generating good pictures, but it's a cure to an intrinsically bad design or bad concept.
