- Today I talk about contrast in your photography. It is one of those things that is really important to get a good photograph, but it is seldom spoken about, so I go over contrast and how you can spot it in your photography to help you get much better photographs.
I suppose you could called this a landscape photography vlog ... but I prefer on location landscape photography!

I don't think I've heard the contrast/saturation slider tip before, very useful. Cheers!
You are an amazing photographer and an awesome teacher!
Very informative series you have created! Look forward to the next episode.
Thanks so much Anders! I've had a lot of fun making this one ... and relearned a lot of little things about my photography.
I hope you are well. 😁👍
Another great, well produced video. I like the suggestion of shooting in black and white to better understand contrast in the scene.
I turned my notifications for your video to "All" and I received a notification for this one mate. Hopefully more people do the same in order to make sure they get the notifications :) great video
Dang, that was a very interesting and informative video. Thanks Mike.
Another great one Mike 🙏
I shoot b&w,, but nice tips on editing Mike much appreciated.
Very interesting video, something else I've just learnt, so much to take in
Brilliant! Crap, I have so much to learn!
Good tips thanks Mike
Thank you very much
... it's a good tip: when u increase contrast, decrease saturation... thank you
I like this series.... Learning already known in new perspective.❤❤❤
Very good video ,very good tips ,thank you!
Hi Mike, I love your videos…I’ve noticed you often use an aerial shot during them. Have you considered making a video or two on drone photography?
Loads of info, thank you
I remember in one video you talked about using only whites and blacks sliders as the others affect the quality
Thank you so much for always sharing the best content Mike, I enjoy every video and learn a lot from you, I really enjoy the color wheel video and after watching your video I found out that I really enjoy my moody style of photography 👍🤗
Your videos are both enjoyable and useful.
You've helped me a lot. Thank you!
Shirt, but very effective video. Thanks.
Another good tutorial Mike.
Fantastic video as always Mike! The amount of different backgrounds and places you go to, while keeping the subject flowing so seamlessly is epic! Also, whatever lens you are using, it makes the background so separate and colorful, makes the scene quite surreal.
Love the suggestions, as Contrast is always one of my personal favorite things to consider when photographing. The greatest influence I took to my personal style is from Caravaggio with his strong contrast scenes.
Hi Mike: Another wonderful video full of great tips, suggestions and viewpoints. Well done! Cheers, Keith
Thanks very much Kieth!!
Great video, Mike! Changing into black and white is great advise. I have heard you squint your eyes to where you just barely see anything. This shows you contrast but also basic colors going into color theory. Stay safe out there.
I can't wait for the Exposure episode.
I'm having one of those Brain F@rt moments trying to judge exposure for my video projects. I know this is a photography course, but I do find little snippets to cross over to video.
I often enjoy taking quite high contrast pictures. But I tend to find my camera complaining that I'm underexposing my pictures and were I to let it it'd raise iso a good few steps to compensate, but I don't like the pictures I get when I allow the camera to decide. I try to let the histogram guide me more than I do the light meter at the end of the day and I'm not sure what it is the camera is trying to tell me when the histogram looks good but the light meter says -2.
