I like it with the people in, it adds balance but it also draws your eye from the bird across the whole scene to the people and I just love it for that

Love the shot with the bird and I like the people on the people on the far peak for scale. The eye goes right to the bird and then follows an imaginary trail through the dunes to the people. Wish I had seen this before I went to White Sands a couple years ago. Can't wait for part 2. 🙏🏻Your videos are so inspiring man! Great work! Thank you 🙏🏻

@tompatton2086 3 жыл бұрын

Gotta love the pic you shot while seated at 8:58. The almost perfectly straight line across the dune in the center divides the image in 2 equal halves. It makes it look like a composite. Well done Michael!

@robintaylor-hunt5875 3 жыл бұрын

Stunning! The last shot is best with people in - it adds scale but they do not detract, in my view. They add a “hey, wait!” moment when seeing this image. Great stuff, thank you.

This is so inspirational, and of course, the last image with the people is better as it creates a sense of scale in the background in addition to the bird in the foreground.

My favourite image is the one with the narrow ridge running through the middle of the frame, it looks like two entirely separate scenes. Having watched quite a few of your videos recently, you've definitely sold me on getting a 100-400mm lens. So much potential for picking out "moments" in an environment. I'm looking forward to seeing part two! Related, I picked up your basic landscape tutorial, toolkit, and workflow courses and I just wanted to say thanks for the truly useful tools and insight. Going out on Friday night, I noticed an immediate improvement in many elements of my shooting and editing. Well worth the very meagre financial expense and I plan to invest in the more comprehensive ones in the near future. You're a great teacher, it's much appreciated.
