    I enjoy Robert's presentations, his values, his teachings at a very profound creative level that touches my need to make pictures so very deeply. He inspires me.

    OMG!!! You're phenomenal! I teach basic painting and go for some of these concepts. You nail it! I tell them it's like the first time they learn to drive a car, all the technical things first is so scary and hard, but the want of freedom is stronger, eventually it becomes second nature, like a dance.. all the ingredients coming together:) ❤️❤️❤️ and then drop it from their heads to their hearts lol

    Great tip about covering the LCD I haven't seen anyone else mention before not to mention tons of other great tips on photography in general!
    Personally, I learned photography in the film days where you had to take a lot more time to setup and compose your shot. Also, if you didn't know your camera inside/out you have very little chance of getting a decent picture or anything anywhere near what you had in mind. So I can relate to what he's saying here.

    What I've realized after watching a several of these BH photog lecture videos is that they're all just "let me know off my pictures." I don't care about your pictures; I don't want to watch and hear you brag about random pictures here and there. Teach me techniques and skills. I don't care what was going through your mind when you took a particular picture, nor the history on how you took it. 

    Be less braggy and more informative.

  12. Gary Chow says

    Best part of this for me was when he said the key to getting a good photo is not exposure (or any other technical aspect) but capturing the essence of what you see with your eyes. It's about composition and composition comes from within; the shot has to say something about what you are feeling about what you see.

    Great lecture, nice choice of quotes

  14. sestoelemento 80 says

    This is an exceptional video by a fantastic photographer. Mr. Rodriguez is a great teacher who is dedicated to his art.

  24. John C says

    This is an outstanding insight into the techniques that turn iconic images into images that have exceptional lighting. This is one of B&H's better videos and that is saying a lot.

  25. andy sheader says

    One of THE best B&H videos I've seen. Great, really enjoyed the passion and dedication of Robert :thumbs:

    Cheers.

  26. Owen Tuckett says

    I really got a lot from this video about the art of photography. I have watched a lot of B and H video seminars and they are excellent. I particularly like the lack of technical information – f-stops, ISO shutter speed etc – in this video because it made me think of form, light, colour and composition. There is a place for technical information but it isn't here. This is not about learning a formula but about thinking about the kind of image you want to make. There a lot of inspirational quotes here as well. Thank you Robert.

    Great video. Over post-processing isn't what makes art in photography.

  31. Doc Hamilton says

    A fine workshop. I want my viewers to see the same thing I saw out there. I'm still trying.

    Wonderful thoughts on how to approach the art of landscape photography. I think the "why" question, while different for everyone, is so important.

    If it was a 10 min vid I may start to watch.

    This video is inspiring. Thank you.

    finally a photographer who talks about the art of photography, why it's important and how to use it as a means of expression and communication.

    It's not the gear, it's the heart, soul, and mind behind the individual pressing the shutter. the great photographs come from within you, not from a machine.
