Scott Kelby on Composition

I saw this on youtube and thought it was fantastic. I loved how he was willing to show all of his crappy shots in his search for a good shot

"Mr. Photoshop" can photoshop a good shot?
woo hoo

I did not view the video. The reason is past experience.

I once read something by Kelby on teaching photography. In it he said the most ludicrous things.

There is no doubt whatsoever that Kelby is a Photoshop genius. One of the best in the world.

As a teacher on photography he leaves much to be desired.

I found the video interesting. Thanks for posting.

I agree. This is more about shooting & working the scene to find the shot that everyone else will miss. It's one of his better classes with a catchy, misleading title. It should have been "Work the Scene, Work the Setting"

I have no proper training as a hobbiest, and thought I was just odd to "work a scene". Good to know it's normal. Good to know how a working pro works his shot.

I really enjoy kelbytraining.com. Its a great mix of photoshop and photography, and theres a ton of McNally, Frakes, Adler, Hurley, etc on there to feed the "pure photographer" in anyone.

Agree with you with regards to the misleading title. His long winded intro implied he might shed some new light on or look at composition in a new fresh way. He is right about and makes good points on working the scene.
