    I stumbled upon these videos when I was looking for some tutorial on photography. From then on, I've been on a marathon watching these events videos. They are so inspirational and for someone who loves landscape photography, I think this video is the best of the lot. Thank you so much B&H and for sharing these wonderful presentations with the world!!

    I had to pause the video several times to stare at the images in awe. Some of them are mindbogglingly surreal.

    I watched all the B&H seminars here on youtube, and Michael Melford's seminars happen to be the best. I have learned a lot from him, he is a real inspiration.
    Oh, and I have also stopped whining about my 24-105 lens.

    Michael Melford got in my top 5 photographers I like most when I first saw an interview with him on National Geographic website. Now, again, makes me add him to my short list and start obsessing again about his view on photography and techniques and everything he knows and shares. Thank you Michael Melford!

    Learn from these photographer, national geography veterans. Every single one of them is rock in their own styles. Not a single of them use bokeh technique, yet composition, content and techniques are key for stunning photos.

    Nice but it's a sort of frustrating to listen to a photographer who has his own airoplane! I fall in love with simple and "people" photographers. Nice photos though even if I had to stop after I heared about your own airoplane.

    • @jerkojie

      Kag Tim He doesn't have his own aeroplane. He has a flying license, so he's a pilot, and can rent a plane. Even so, you can usually charter a small plane AND a pilot for about 100 USD per hour, so in theory you can do the exact same thing. Its not like this guy is flying around in a Learjet shooting out of the windows while he's buzzing on expensive champagne.

      +Dennis Skyum Good answer mate.
      And remember that if people want to take great landscape pictures then they have to go to great landscape locations - Everest and The Grand Canyon aren't in everyone's back gardens.
      In saying that, I live in the north of England and even though I'm luckily enough to be surrounded by the Lake District, the Yorkshire moors, Wales and Scotland - I still have to make a 300-600 mile round trip for a single days location!
      It's all about how committed you are to your photography.
      The great thing about Street and Urban photography is that it IS literally on your doorstep - sweeping landscapes usually are not.
      Last point. You can hire a plane and pilot for under £100 around here in the UK. Nuff said.

    omg b&h where do you find these people??? What a completely clueless comment about polarizers making rainbows disappear. This guy ever used a polarizer? Yes you can rotate it and make the rainbow disappear but can also keep rotating and make it look even more intense.

      Polarizers can also make reflections in water much better.
