Woodland Photography - Finding Order Amongst the Chaos

Описание: It is no secret that woodland photography is challenging, I fail more often than not. But over the course of the last few months I have been working on improving my woodland composition and in this video I share the things I have picked up and learned that have helped me improve.

Woodlands are chaotic and jumbled and it is difficult to capture an image that doesn't come across that way, but our eyes have a way of singling out points of interest, and by examining those in more detail it is possible to limit the clutter and come away with cleaner compositions that are closer to what you first saw and wanted to capture.

There are expert woodland photographers out there, and I'm not one of them, so if you want to explore this subject in more detail take a look at these videos below, and feel free to recommend any others in the comments :-)
