Habit 11. Live in a country with epic backgrounds in every shot.

#9 hits home really hard. Been in that state for years now... and it's an annoying place to be at...

Thank you so much. This is good :). Numbers 4, 5, and 9 are so challenging to me. Especially number 9, as I hold on so tight that I don't post pictures. Thanks for the encouragement!!

Great information.  Very eloquently said, Sir!👌👍🙏🫵✌🏼☮️🕊️❤️

I needed this right now. Thanks for the video.

Very good,Thankyou.

I think the #6 habit is for me the most difficult when you mainly shoot when walking with family or friends. In those circumstances, you can only take 2-3 frames under a short lap of time. I really struggle with this, because when back home looking at the result, I realize that it would be better if I moved like this or that, etc... I am still wondering how I can improve my capability to see the perfect frame quickly...

Just came across your content - your videos are superb - as with your photography! Thank you for supporting developing photographers like me. Greetings from wintery but sunny South Africa. 🙏🏻😀

Feels like photography is alike gambling 😂

I myself must admit waiting is really good, had harsh lighting from the front, waited for the sun to go more down and made the best photo I've made 🙌🏻

Love the emphasis on habits over gear! Habit #4 and #6 really hit home for me. Taking that extra minute to look around is so simple yet so powerful. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi
I’m a complete beginner in photography. This video was really helpful. Thank you! 🙂

I would say also in addition to learning light (which should come first) would be to learn composition, as that can also make/break a photo (and included with learning basic composition, work the scene -- like was mentioned -- as you can sometimes find comipelling images if you just change your perspective, or zoom in/out, and focus on simplier scenes).

One tip I learned (and it was from a portrait photographer, but can apply to any genre really, for the most part) is after you take a photo -- look at it, and ask yourself "what is wrong with the photo?"  Take a moment to review your photo (you're not chimping necessarily but your analyzing your photo to see how you can improve it, either by getting in closer, moving back and zooming out, etc).  But stop and ask yourself "What is wrong with this photo?" and go from there.  It forces you to slow down and actually look at what you're getting.  I'm not saying you have t odo this after every single shot, but shoot a few and then take a moment to review your images, and you'll get into  a habit of looking for things that can impact your photo in a negative way (like distracting elements) and so then as time goes on, you'll be able to identify these while your composing in the viewfinder.

Yes, my best example for how much lighting matters is actually your homeland when I went to Iceland for four days it was nothing but gloomy and cloudy. Everything looked so dull and unappealing but then you look at the pictures when the lighting is good and the place looks magical sadly that’s not what I’ve seen no northern lights no amazing light just clouds. Oh wait no I saw sunlight for maybe four seconds in four days lol but yes, you hit spot on with the light.

As the chef Marco Pierre White says, perfection is a lot of little things done well.

i loved your tips, great video! But what catched me even more, was you being such a sympathic guy. You got a great energy! Happy to see more from you!

First video I found of you - love your enthusiasm, simple actionable points, and passion.
