just walked all around it just trying to figure out exactly what's the most pleasing way to get everything in the scene that i love about this photograph and this is the the final composition that i settled on i just love the natural framing of these trees and how it kind of hugs the church in the background and i love how the mushroom right here just kind of draws your eye to that foreground and you kind of walk your eye through the highlights and the shadows a little bit of dodging and burning in here went a long way all the way into the the uh the church in the center of the photograph and in this image i know i shared this last week of course i love the mountains in the background i love the rushing water i love any kind of water that's falling that's my my kind of go-to thing that's what i get most excited about and i loved how the foreground here kind of just mimicked this it just kind of got the sweeping nature all the way up until the mountain in the background i wanted to make sure i captured a lot of this area here just to exaggerate that kind of s-curve that winding look of that foreground and how it leads to the the waterfall and to ultimately to the mountain in the background and those are the things that i love the most about this scene and that's what i wanted to include in my composition so asking yourself when you get on location what do i love about this scene why do i want to point my camera at it why do i want to take this photograph and take that inventory and then piece the puzzle or i should say create the puzzle based off of the pieces that you created in this in the very first step when you're taking that survey and that completely changed the way that i look at composition while i'm on location it simplified it and it just made it to be not so mentally straining on myself when i got on location it was a very relaxed uh mindset or thought track and it really i think it improved my composition and i definitely enjoyed it a little bit better just to think about you're just putting the pieces of a puzzle together and identifying what those pieces are so i really hope that this information in this video will definitely maybe create that aha moment for you i know that that was kind of the this is one of those kind of moments that just completely changed the way that i look at composition while i'm on location so before i do wrap up this week's video i do want to say just a a huge thanks to the sponsor of this week's video which is squarespace who i use for all of my website and ecommerce needs squarespace provides a dynamic and attractive online platform to create your website you can display your photography using squarespace's professional portfolio designs and customize the layout and look and feel of your gallery just so you can make it your own with squarespace's traffic overview feature you can track trends and page visits and views to better optimize your content and you can even grow and engage with your customers with squarespace's email campaign tools which will enable you to create engaging emails that match your website with your products your blog post and logo just so your messaging remains consistent so if you're looking to start a new website or possibly upgrade your current website check out URL_TOKEN forward slash marc denny for a free trial and NUMBER_TOKEN off
