Want to improve your photography without buying any new gear
or paying for online courses?
We'll take a shot together.
Here we go.
Hi I'm Mark Horner. Beyond 90 Seconds.
Today a simple tip that can really help take your photography
to the next level.
We're talking about still photography and videography.
This one tip might seem like a simple thing.
But I've been shooting for 30 years and let me tell you
this tip can help produce great results.
I'm talking about simply giving yourself permission.
Permission to step out of your habit or comfort zone of grabbing the camera
and simply going ready
aim shoot.
Instead ask yourself: How can I shoot that shot
from a more creative angle, perspective or proximity?
Maybe standing on a bench a rock or even up on a log
can help provide more insight into that moment you're trying to capture.
If the subject is a small child don't simply point down and shoot.
Kneel down to eye level or maybe sit criss-cross apple sauce.
I was inspired to make this video after re-watching one I uploaded to YouTube
a few years ago.
Test footage with an iPhone using the Filmic Pro app.
I simply took a walk through a thin band of woods near my home.
I didn't even use a gimbal.
I just simply took this tiny tripod attached a smartphone mount to it
and carefully tried to hold smooth shots as I slowly moved the camera.
A couple of times I set the tripod down.
On the ground here to shoot the slug.
And on top of this surface to shoot the wide shot at twilight.
[foreboding music] I really didn't think this iPhone test video
would get much interest.
But it racked up a few thousand views.
And people left comments like very intriguing perspectives and
simple things can become great things.
Bingo!
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Simple things really can become great things.
So right there you see I didn't go out and have to spend 100, 200, 300 bucks
on a gimbal or a larger tripod.
I simply gave myself permission to venture out and take a minimalistic approach
and walk through the woods like this.
And you know what?
I had fun.
I gave myself permission to go out hunt down those shots.
Bring 'em all home.
Stir 'em all together in a broth.
And see how it all turned out in the final edit.
And if you'd like to see that iPhone test video

Let's look at some still photography now.
Here are some pictures of my daughter at the beach.
My favorite shots?
The ones I took through a hollowed-out piece of driftwood.
The subject and environment framed within the environment.
Here's another day at the beach where I actually did lay flat out out on the sand.
We'll get wet.
It's okay.
[camera beeps and clicks] I could have used a small tripod
or a rock as my tripod.
But I couldn't resist getting right up against the edge
of those incoming waves.
Hand holding these shots with my DSLR.
And while taking these pictures I was also live streaming with my iPhone on
Periscope at the same time.
Sharing the experience.
The trick is to keep the salt water off the lens.
And still get it when it's in the air.
Oh!
That was a good one but I missed it.
Ah! [laughs] A bit of spray and sand on the gear that day.
But nothing damaging.
You may not want get this close to the water with your gear.
And I'm not saying that you should take the same risk and push the limits.
Certainly not like the time I anchored my my iPhone
down at the bottom of a river... [sound of of rocks moving under water]
...to get this video of wild salmon returning to spawn.
[sound of river underwater] That decision ultimately destroyed my iPhone.
But huge props to Apple for replacing it for free.
Anyhow.
Getting back on track.
The point here is that there really is something simple that you can do
to further enhance your repertoire of photographic techniques.
Your skill set.
And that is to simply give yourself permission.
Give yourself permission to try different angles.
Different points of view.
And give yourself permission not to worry about what other people think
as you stand-up suddenly covered in sand from head to toe.
Just giving yourself permission to go for it.
Get more creative can help your shots stand out.
Or maybe help reveal something you didn't expect.
Or tell a story in a deeper way that you captured in that moment.
So what do you think?
Do you think this idea of giving yourself permission is helpful?
I'd love to read your comments below.
And maybe you're a seasoned photographer and you know this stuff.
But did you by chance find this as a gentle reminder
to get back out in the field and come up with some new creative ways
maybe feeling re-inspired.
