Photography Tips on Travel and Landscape Photography - by Karl Taylor

[blackninja650]

I just shot a lot of eastern Europe over the last 3 weeks and all in all I saw two days with sunshine. That meant blown out skies and snow at some points (like Moscow and Munich). The graduated density filter is such an awesome filter and in fact I should have taken a darker one (perhaps two stops down for heavy clouds). For mobility I settled for my carbon fiber Manfrotto monopod to save weight, or found a wall or post to steady myself. Nothing beats a 'pod though. Canon 7D @ high ISO FTW!

[bcfcpker]

is there anything wrong with not using fully manual setting? I mean, I only just bought my camera and feel I should be learning manual?

[n01an10]

could that scene be any more perfect for this tutorial?

[mohillipsgoogle]

I am an absolute beginnner and got my dslr only on Christmas Day a couple of days ago. You have a subscriber here. Do you do online lessons???

[TheRacerRich]

Your videos make me want to start taking my tripod with me, but my style is so different. I need to find some readily mobile way to carry it.

[pjos111]

Does the grad filter not also darken down the Tower?

[pgice]

@pjos111 sure it is..thats the problem

[EricB3620]

Great video, what's the exact reference of the Manfrotto Tripod? Love these collapsing legs, I've got a Manfrotto with "butterfly" screws, not ideal if you need to stay mobile.

[MyAnimeaddicted]

so cool i want to learn to =D

[muddypuddlez]

[TommyPh500d]

[robertlam18]

That's a lot of gears. He should get a backpack.

[BloodCellBleed]

You almost missed the train!

[krez1994]

He talks about photography like a TV food presenter :P

[pav2k]

is it 1d or 1ds?

[luirot9]

@pav2k

I think that's the IDS Mark III most likely.

[kitjohnson1]

What a nice buy.

[warlock0110]

I have a canon powershot sx30 is, is that great?

[bobbyberd]

Can you tell me what the version of your manfrotto tripod? I quite really interested in it since it can quickly set up by a single bottom.

[amochana]

@bobbyberd I think its a Manfrotto 458B NEOTEC PRO

[peanutapt]

Nice photos! Almost missed the train as well =P

[GeeWayIzMine]

The shots were beautiful. :)

[padlockd]

Dang, I feel like I completely wasted my time when I went to Paris... *sigh* You're too good man!

[romandpl]

How do you work with graduated and polarized filter at the same time while you have to rotate the filter mount?

[bennimo225]

loving this guy's style; not that I'm a purist, but I LOVE to see him using everything to get the best possible shot in-camera, and not relying on photoshop like so many people do. great vids.

[alexbongo1]

Amazing tips!:) Love every video of Karl's. My Photography is on my channel

[tekkenmastah]

Wow.. he can shoot..

[SabreMatt311]

beautiful photos

[enthusiasticcab6]

Photography is my new passion! I like to read thephotographyclinic (.) com thanks for posting.

[JustPlainNooby]

Hey! I really liked the video! I've watched almost all of them! You talk about Graduated Neutral Density Filters and I was wondering what filters/holder you use. I found this Cokin Graduated Neutral Density Filter Kit for "P" Series on B&H Photo. Do you think this is a good "kit" to start with? Could you also give me the names of the filters/holders you use?

Thanks!

[Gcollie3810]

@JustPlainNooby Great Kit to start with and you can pick up some really cheap kits through ebay if you are not sure and are experimenting with these filters. Going all out on the true cokin filters can be expensive but if you find that you really like shooting with the filters, the real thing is a worth while upgrade.

[littlec916]

I like the videos but a few of them, this one in particular, seems to be lacking on "tips". Its like Im just watching a video of you take pictures. Still fun to watch.

[Thegloryofskate]

The second is the best



[ghac20]

you ore the men!

[applej2180]

great video. It will be cool if you can give ur settings and lenses that u r using for beginners =)

[saudiGUITARIST]

that's very good . but i hope in the next lesson you but some Settings

[AnthonygoesApple]

Awesome video!

I just want to know the title of the name...

[DaDeceptiveOne]

Really like the composition of the last image. It's like 3 layers: ship, train, skyline... Great work!

[agun17]

5:24 It's good, cool, EXCELLENT.

Lol.

[will4r]

great video thanks for the tips.



[anyvid100]

your great man... keep up the good work. modt people give you one tip and then stick there hand out asking for more... but not with you...

[RaimondasTM]

great work :) thanks for good lesson

[jordzarkay]

very usefull tips.....which manfroto tripod and head you used here?

thanks and more videos =)

[Sandor159]

I see u using these ND filters, but how can you use it in a proper way when the horizon is not "flat". You have al these buildings and trees, isn't it easy to see in the endresult that they have a different exposure?

[jovianksc]

nice shots

[JackTerminator]

what i dont get is why people need a million lenses when ure 18-55, a telephoto and possibly a macro lense would cover everything ?

[cramtoro]

@JackTerminator yeah i think may be a fish eye and zoom lenses are good as well depending what you want to shoot

[preparetobedazled]

What kind of lense were you using?

[jemie7]

Love it! Awesome!

[rafiqmilan]

what's the use of filter?

[106thCtiger]

Filters are placed in front of the lens to control the light.

[smokeymine]

Loving your videos. You're an awesome photographer. Thanks for sharing.

[multivisionstudios]

Very good videos, nice photography you do my friend, real good videographer as well.

Mr. Karl. What brand are your ND filters? and where do you get them from?

I saw one of videos here on youtube where you light paint, do you have that in step-by-step dvd?

[CarL000314]

Just awesome! By the way, what's the name of the song?

[hypnotik174]

good job, keep the videos coming

[AmateurPhotography]

Thanks... nice video!

[mikegrande]

great as expected...

[jereaujere]

You really are an artist!

Greats from Argentina!

[0714boskittles]

I agree, artist is a word thrown around, but when someone can capture your attention like this they truly know their art! These videos never disappoint. Hope all is well in Argentina!

[visuellegedanken]

Really like the video. Hope to see more. :)

[GreatPhotographyTips]

thanks, we have a few more on here, we also sell photography DVD's on our website

[tarrah1723]

@GreatPhotographyTips Can you give me any suggestions for the best canon or nikon dslr camera??? i mean the unit or any suggestion good quality dslr cameras???... btw, nice tips though. it helps a lot :)

[grabedigger]

@tarrah1723 Best Canon and Nikon...well it depends a LOT on the use you're gonna give to it. The thing is, nowdays the best Nikon dSLR is the D3s, wich is a full frame camera with all the gizmos you might want or need. The best Canon, full frame for landscapes you either buy the 5D Mark II or the 1Ds Mark III, it is suposed to be launched to the market the 1Ds Mark IV and the 5D Mark III. These are the best ones. Top of the line!

[bradhorn14]

@grabedigger I think the Marks are a great series of camera, but look at noise at ISO 16 and up! Its horrible with noise. Nikon is amazing with noise, and at high ISO, you eliminate a lot of flesh tone mirroring. colors stay true and creamy.
