This video is very well put together. I like your calm and down to earth way of narration explaining through many examples. 👍👍

as a wedding photographer I shoot up to a 1000 photos at a wedding. Fifteen years ago we stopped using film, at that time I was taking 5 rolls of 120mm film, 60 shots. It kept me disiplined but the benefit of being able to evolve my style and vary my shots has certainly improved my photography. It's not spray and pray, It's constant learning and evolving and improving my skill. So I agree with you vary your angles and exposure until you get what you want.

i've often been chastised for taking 'too many' photos, appreciate the words of wisdom

I call it working the shot. I frequently explore a subject from a variety of angles and perspectives. My best image is often one I hadn't originally seen in my minds eye.

Yes, “working” the scene is a good description. Being curious and willing to adjust location, perspective and camera controls are the means to creative results. Patience and curiosity are key. Plus lighting and local environment situation may be constantly evolving. Exploring and working a situation is the excitement!

This to me at least seems like one of those tips where it's so obvious and seems like something that everyone should already automatically do, but for some reason I don't think I do it properly and this simple tip will really help me. I look back at some of my favourite pictures and think 'if only I got slightly different angles or slightly different lighting... So thanks.

Kieron I know what you mean and yeh. That's the aim of the vid. ☺️

Well, that's one style, and works better in the digital age, not "wasting film." But... I prefer the Ansel Adams approach: Visualize what you want and set it up to happen. Yes, I still take more than one "sniper" image, but not more than 7 or 8, usually fewer than that. Sometimes, yes, just one, if I got what I wanted. And yes, I learned and mostly practiced photography using film, often medium format and even 4x5. Did my own darkroom work, too. So I guess my habits involve being frugal.

@mitchellkphotos

6 жыл бұрын

Hey, it does make total sense for stationary subjects and medium format film cameras. Perhaps I should have emphasized more that my approach is particularly aimed at dynamic subjects or when you can be dynamic around the subject itself, like with the drone. Nothing against Ansell Adams or the great portraitists, but I shoot different type of stuff. The main lesson was that - it's ok to take more shots, but with intent and purpose.

Everyone has their own approach. - In my case, I get one or two shots of a given moment of inspiration and it usually works out. If there's nothing of interest, I don't shoot as if I'm digging for something in the hopes to captures something (and yes, despite what is said in the video, of course it's fishing for results). - I'd rather indeed see the image already and then capture it instead of waiting or hoping for it. I stare into the world and through the viewfinder a lot, otherwise I might as well just shoot video and select a frame afterwards. - I now shoot film, which kind of forced me to do this, but I already did the same with digital cameras automatically. - Just my approach...

KutWrite I have no doubt you get the shot you wanted with all your skills and practice. I'm curious though if you are limiting your creativity to thing that are familiar. I often find new creative ideas I haven't explored before when I take the restrictions off myself.

Totally agree with you, the the great shot should be searched and the right moment should be waited, but the knowledge you should already have, because is pointless to wait and to search because you won't find. I have the same technique and I'm so happy to see that you do the same. Thank for your videos, was very useful!

Having an interest as a child I grew up with film. Observation and timing were key. Old habits die hard. I’ve increased the number of shots, my sons shoot many multiples of my number. My gear is much more capable than I am.

Thanks for making this. I used to do photography back in the film days and I have to admit, I was a photo sniper simply for economic reasons. Photography was not my job, so I had to shell out personal funds for film, travel (to shoot), developing and printing. I would always try my best not to waste a single frame, though--without immediate feedback--I did end up wasting a lot of them. Then I put it away for a very long time, but now I am getting back into it. I have digital cameras and I know that taking more shots is free and it gives me a much higher success rate, but I am having a really hard time changing my mind set. This video helps with that. I will start making a conscious effort to take more shots.

Back years ago when I took a photography class, digital photography was only just becoming accessible to the regular consumer and I was still shooting with film. The rule of thumb back then was that you probably will only get one good image per roll (24-36 images). So there was the cost of a roll of film, then there was the cost of developing and if you did black and white photography in a darkroom it was time consuming to produce each print, so it was more likely to just give up a subject if you couldn’t find an interesting way to frame it. Today, you can snap several dozen images and see them immediately and delete the ones you don’t like or transfer them to a flash drive and you don’t have to go buy another roll of film. Some of the gear can still be expensive, but you don’t have the ongoing cost of film, special batteries or developing. It is easier not to be a “photo sniper.”

Thank you! My ratio now is 1000 pictures taken, 100 kept, 10 posted, 1 printed. I appreciate the validation!

Love the sentiment here. I know almost all of the great photographers of all time have contact sheets with MANY variations of a shot. Koudelka, HCB, Capa, Daido, Eugene Smith often used more than one roll of film on a single scene. That's where I learned this. That said, I think that you manage to dilute the information and present your argument very effectively with some great examples. I'm trying to mentor a friend of mine in photography, and this video has been one of the most helpful ones in terms of him improving his photography. Thanks!

Thanks for the positive feedback, Ian. Appreciate it. And I'm really glad that you got so much out of it. When I hear that - that's extra motivation to make more videos.

I think you make a good point there. Shooting many pictures but definitely with a purpose is a great strategy and I think the three photos you showed were perfect examples for when it's very useful. However, I also think it depends on the purpose of the shoot. For a professional job I would take as many shots as I could, no question. However, I started shooting film around two years ago and what I found is that by limiting myself to the essential compositions I had a much better learning effect. It was of course extremely frustrating at times but I got to know myself and what I can and cannot do. In a way I take fewer steps forward because film slows me down but the steps are bigger because I get angry at myself when I didn't capture what I wanted and only find out two weeks later in the darkroom. ;)

I have mixed feelings about this. In one hand you are ABSOLUTELY right, you shouldn’t just take a couple of photographs. On the other hand I mainly shoot film, so I can’t do that I have to think about the composition and take one or two photographs at most and they come out really good because I took a moment to think about the shot.

@mitchellkphotos

Thanks for commenting. If you're dealing with still subjects, it's totally manageable to get the shot in 1-2 attempts. The main reason why I shot the landscape with the drone many times is because I could and I was curious to see it from different angles later. However, if you're dealing with dynamic subjects... 1 or 2 frames, well, it's still possible, but basically you have to get incredibly lucky to get something great.

Beautiful intro! Great comments on how to think photography :)

In the midst of the argument about being an Ansel Adams purist and whether digital encourages people to "waste" shots, people seem to have missed your point about shooting with a purpose. To me, that's the point. I do some wildlife photography, and I get as many shots as I can while the subject is in front of my lens. I never know what movement is going to work, particularly with birds. With human models, there's a little less surprise because the model should have already bought into the vision for the image. With landscapes, I'm a little less inclined to shoot a bunch of images. Once I see what I want to capture, I know pretty quickly whether I've gotten the shot.

Brilliant. I've often felt guilty when coming home with so many shots from a trip but was so happy for having the options later on in post. I need to apply this to making videos as I usually don't record as much as I should.

This is the proper philosophy of a pro photographer. Actually the title of this video should read 'Don't be a machine gunner'. A sniper is a shooter who picks and does not waste a shot. You are living the dream.

Hey Michell. Great video and an important lesson. I have a small question you might be able to answer as a panasonic expert, I have a GX7 and have a load of dust thats apparently between the low-pass filter and the sensor, so it can't be cleaned with normal techniques and panasonic quote triple the value of the camera to fix out of warranty. This means photos like those you're showing at 4:31 would show up with loads of artifacts in the fog if taken on my camera (maybe only if above f/4). It makes me aprehensive to change to another panasonic camera. Is this something you ever had to deal with with your GX7? Has it ever been an issue with your GX8?

Hey, I am not too much help here. But, a friend of mine did have her GX7 cleaned in a normal place. If it's some weird kind of place, as you say in-between the low pass filter and sensor, it may be an issue. Perhaps try other places. I find that just because someone says it can't be done, it's not always the case.

As someone who frequently switches between shooting film and digital, this is pretty much exactly how I shoot when shooting digital. Of course with film I have to snipe because I don’t want to waste exposures, and even then, it does help add a different perspective to my composition because I have to take the time to stop and make sure I get the perfect shot. This idea of shooting more on a single idea has been a huge help to me on learning how to use my camera and understand what kind of composition I like, which in turn translates over to composing shots with film. Great video!

Who shoots film already know what the photo looks like when point the camera to subject, because you can´t see what you got until de film development.

Film has become such a "romanticised" medium. Now we are steering towards film vs digital and that's a whole different topic. Also, what I'm talking about is similar to "knowing" what a photo looks like, in your mind. But, I'm talking about going beyond that and experimenting. That's what I love about digital photography, we can know, but without the limit of frames, we can let spontanity take over, shoot and see what happens. And not go broke. :)

6 жыл бұрын

mitchellkphotos yes, I agree, digital is very good to bust the learning process. I started shooting in the beginning of digital era and with my DSLR I made all the try and error I needed to learn the basics. As I got older I started using film again, more and more, it's not so expensive if you know what your doing, I live in the 3rd world and my goods are all shiped from us. I'm not rich and I don't live from my photography, but it's still possible. The big difference is the mind set you have to achieve your goals. You could say rangefinders are better than SLR, you could say medium format is better than 35mm or silent is better than louder camera. But we see amazing work done with every medium. The think is, there are several strategies and styles, I completely understand you work process, I would do the same if I shoot only digital. But in my case, on daily basis I try the opposite, less is more. And I can't say it's better or worse, just a different strategy.

Digital really has changed the game. When I started out as a kid with my handed-down Rollei, I had to save up for weeks to afford a 12 exposure roll. The chemicals and paper were costly too. Clicking the shutter became a major investment, and each exposure was carefully considered. Digital enables a much more carefree, experimental approach.

tell you what, thank you for this Mitchellkphotos. the way you talk and present your information is so refreshing compared to the usual KZread poster.

I couldn't agree more with you. Whenever i came back from travelling, i always regret that i didn't shoot enough photo.

It is so useful , Especially choosing the aperture on the horse photo.

Right now it is pouring rain outside my window and I am inclined to stay put ... but after watching your video, I will go out and experiment in the rain. :) Thank you for your video and the ebook on travel photography is great.

Took me a moment to appreciate what you meant by “photo sniper” - I got fed up yesterday with a photographer spotting where I was shooting, and literally running in front of me to steal my shot, but I really get your message - thank you. Great shots, and the trip looks amazing!

Thanks for watching. Glad you got something out of it. :)

Interesting sometimes I feel I take to many photos on my travels. You’ve made me realise there’s no harm in taking lots of photos to decide what works later :)

One of the real joys of digital - can take a few photos and choose best without the fear (or cost) of using / running out of film. Great topic - and vehicle.

Tina Lim Glad to be of use. 🙂

Thanks Mitchell. I really liked the pace of this video and the clarity with which you spoke. I do marine photography and certainly agree there's no point sniping. Sometimes I think I've got the shot only to find I haven't. Now I go back down and keep going, even after I think I've nailed one. So much can go wrong! Also my brain compensates based on what I am looking at, particularly regarding light, so sometimes the camera captures something different, so I go back in with different settings. Couldn't agree more about changing angles too. Nice job!

Now this is truly a lesson not for photography, but a lesson for photographer. Thank you.

I really enjoy watching your videos. Gives a different perspective to the other photographers plus there is so much I have learnt since I started watching. Specially the travel photos under natural light. Good job...keep it up. Thank you.

Lol, I love the spray and pray reference. Great video!

Sharad Haha. Thanks for watching.

This was beautiful, and i think this knowledge can be applied to more than photography ,i'm a learning logo designer and i discovered that practice makes perfect when the practice is not just random repetition but focused on gradually improving a specific skill

Thank you for the advices. I learned something from you today :-)

I think this is a great video!! I'm going to Tokyo today and I am going to definitely use some of the points you gave on the video. Awesome!

Richard Roman good luck! :)

Fantastic advice! I always have a problem with getting photos from different angles. When I find a composition I like, I tend to stick around and shoot it with slight variations. I'll have to make a conscious effort to recompose.

The best videos in KZread. Great job! Cheers from Brazil!

Newbie here. Working the scene is a great idea. Although it is time consuming, the final images are worth the effort. Thank you for the tip :)

Subscribed. You deserve much more views. This is a very god example of moving from the film mentality, to the digital mentality. I find that capturing movement, means many images. It can often result in some great results. As you say, sometimes its opportunistic, or with a bit of luck. The more you take, the more chance of that image of distinction.

ntsms69 Agreed. Thanks for your comment.

Useful perspectives offered, thanks!

Love it!! I employ this same practice for the same reasons but never had a name for it! Now I do 😁😁

Thank you for a wonderful, and very helpful video. As a beginner, sometimes it is hard to understand concepts, but your examples made concepts easy to comprehend and remember. Much appreciated.

Great tip! Totally make sense for me. Thank you!

One of the best educational video. Thank you for sharing. Awesome photos too. Keep it up.

I went to a dog beach recently with a friend and her dog. My purpose was to capture the playfulness of the dogs, and although I took heaps of photos, I still came away with a lot of good photos, because I used this awesome method.

100 percent agree. I have people making fun of me all the time while others understand they have to wait five minutes while i find the one shot i chose to post or show them.

Thank you, great video and great information. I also liked how you showed the photos that didn't work!

Yeh, I think that's important too, though it's also subjective. Sometimes I come back to the images and think that the images which I didn't think much of before, actually work better.

Great tips here! Thank you for the great information.
