lol at instinctively turning the camera sideways, then realizing the square crop. been there.
Omar: uses 1:1 ratio
Also Omar: hold camera vertically to shoot.
Nice to see you caught the birdie on the side of the house. I take that route every 2 weeks to buy for my business at jetro. Never seen anyone walking the sidewalks. May have to give that a shot. Thanks for the inspiration and great vid!
Fuji colours just give soul to any images. Great shots btw.
My favorite videos are always the ones where you go on outings with your X-T2, preferably in the rain. ❤
Love how you keep challenging yourself to grow as a photographer. Very inspiring.
Anytime I see city grunge being photographed in the square format, it always reminds me of shooting with my Holga toy camera and looking for album cover artwork images. 📷
That Audi logo...! Great idea to limit yourself with crop and lens. Extra fun, extra creativity.
By the way, I love how well U.S. cities are designed for pedestrians.
Love your channel, Omar. Always something inspiring, thoughtful and fun. 🎉
Great shots squared up wicked format
The shot of the pigeon is to die for 😂
See ya in ya next shoot hopefully with sunshine laters matey.
From the UK.
I really loved this video & idea. Some days are not inspiring to go out and you mixed things up by shooting square and made a rainy day in an urban environment fun. I have an xt2 & never knew about shooting in this crop format. I recently shot film in a newly acquired TLR and 6x6 medium format. I was somewhat disappointed in about half my compositions as I tried to fit too much in the square. Better to keep it more simple on picking a subject as those were my better shots… you nailed it. like a tennis shoe or outhouse. I need more practice of square using my xt2 as practice with film gets expensive. Thanks Omar! You always make me laugh along with your education & inspiration.
Great tips Omar. I am amazed how you made artful photos on Tonnelle Avenue. I was just in the Teterboro area with the gloomy weather, I wasn't inspired to photograph anything. I wish I would have seen this video while I was there.
I genuinely enjoyed those photos, Omar. You may have been joking about the art exhibit, but I would actually buy some of those as prints for my home, or in a photo book.
Thanks I know you were measurably out there in the rain and cold. Thank you for sharing Omar.
Thank you for taking the good old XT2 the forgotten camera in the XT -Line up for any updates but it's the best X-sensor that has that really punch to colors and am loving it. I hope one day it may become the X100v champ..That camera hardly get's some love but we love it thank you Omar for great inspiration and setting tip!
Thanks for showing the map in the beginning, it's good to know where you are. I'm from the UK.
Thank you, Omar! That helps bring back the true joy of photography!
It’s been a while since I’ve done this. Thanks for the inspiration Omar.
I walked by a decrepit old house today-probably built in the 1920s and abandoned many years ago. It caught my attention so I took several photographs of it.
The images weren’t shot they way, but inspired by your video, I cropped one of them to a 1x1. Wow! The cropping really brought that old house photo to life! It forced the eye right to the house and cut out all of the surrounding distractions.
What a terrific tip, Omar! You just enhanced my photography skills in one fell swoop!
I can tell you’re an experienced photographer. You shoot landscape and portrait even in square mode. lol. Habits.
Great batch of photos sir! I shoot a lot of square format with a white boarder as well.
I love this channel because it just makes photography look fun and relaxing😊
Honesty, this by far one of the most inspiring video I've seen lately. Sometimes I don't motivated to shoot but a new perspective on square is refreshing! I never shoot square but I'm motivated to try it. Awesome vid, Omar!
Grunge, NJ , rain and in a square nothing can beat that. Inspiring, great images.
Great video Omar! I think I speak for a lot of people when I say my favorite videos are the ones where you take out your older fuji gear!
Wonderful ! Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Yeah, nice square photos. I have to try that too. Dangerous near those speeding cars. Take care Omar.
I can't get over the puppy-like attention span while you shoot, it's very relatable in a way
Although I have sold all my fuji gear for wildlife photography with M43, I still miss the days I enjoyed photography with fuji which I learned from many of your videos! Thank you!
My Fujifilm X-M1 Noir, is always set to a 1X1 crop, and I love it.
"Ooooh! Red!" Hahaha, you're such a child and I LOVE IT!
I shot a lot in 6x6 medium format (120 film). The square has a balance: same horizontal and vertical angle of view, symmetry, circular composition... No need to change the camera orientation (forget the portrait grip then). I like your approach; cropping in post-production is a crutch for me... Thanks for showing the dark side of NJ.
Liking this - it's unusual for me to shoot in 1x1 in-camera but I crop to 1x1 often. I remember when I first shared 1x1 photos, I used a similar white border as you have - not quite Polaroid look, but feels nostalgic and works great here.
This is why I love my TLR camera 😊
Great video! Opened my eyes.
I needed this after two weeks of overcast in Michigan.
I am really enjoying your videos….I’m new to Fuji purchasing a used XT-2…..LOVE IT! So thank you for helping understand this Fuji World!!
Super vidéo Omar, comme toujours !
Inspiring to see how you can find interesting photos in a generally uninteresting location if you just look close enough. Its amazing what a nice crop can do to transform a composition too!
Loved the peeping pigeon! As always, great video. Thanks for letting us tag along.
Dude!!! I’m always around there! I live in Elizabeth and have family in union city. Wish I could’ve see you there!!
Simple things can be appear more photogenic when photographed in a different format. I’ve thought of using the square format but never did. I’ll have to think square the next time I take my shots. Thank you, Omar for sharing your vision.
I would have loved to go out there with you and shoot grungy pics of wet and grungy New Jersey😆✌️! And to be honest, I really like some of the pics you took there … not all but some😉👍👋
XT2 looks pretty good. Your pictures color Reminding me of William Eggleston. That prooves you DON'T NEED to buy and upgrade to New model XT5 like most will with this syndrome... Everytime when a New camera come out! You should do more often POV street photo style.
I actually loved your grunge session. Great pics!
Thanks for another great video Omar! I’m in Union county in NJ and I been waiting for a sunny day BUT this video made me challenge myself more in these conditions! Thank you!
I actually never ever thought about shooting my XT-5 at 1:1. Great idea. Thank you!
Great video Omar! I liked how the square format added emphasis to your subjects. Think that I might try it myself next time I'm out
great demo of how to get some good pictures on a crummy rainy day.
Loved your images and you ongoing dialogue with your setting . Well done.
Rainy Days...
Glad to see you making an adventure out of it.
As a fellow “Jersey Boy” and Fuji enthusiast, I loved these photos. I’ll have to go out and take some shots in my neck of the woods. Keep up the great content.
The beauty of Jersey City! You just made my day, greetings from Germany, ex Asbury Park person here
Enjoyed this; thanks!
What a coincidence, I did the same thing yesterday and was actually really enjoying the square crop.
This is a real inspiring trip for ‘good weather’ photographers. The beauty of ugliness makes your mind free to sharpen your skills and make more interesting images. Love the versatility of that 35 mm lens. So light, sharp and warm. THNX Omar!
For the last couple of weeks i have been shooting in square 1:1. It's certainly different. It forces me to rethink my composition. It doesn't feel natural to me, but that is the point. It forces me to rethink .
Fabulous images. I really enjoyed this one.
Your videos always bring a lot of joy.
Square crop is one of my favorite ratios. Nearly everything I do for personal work is square :'D
Love this idea. Thanks. Your images made me want to run out and shoot !!!
Hilarious reactions. "Ooooooouuuu reeeeddd"
Grateful for the reminder 🙏. I do love square and often crop tonight but shooting in camera in raw is cool as you can always go back and re-crop in post. Surprised you didn't suggest using auto iso.
You bring great humour to your vids 😊
Interesting Omar, changing the aspect ratio isn't something i do too often, if I do it's usually to 16:9. In daylight I always have the ISO on auto with a range of 160-800 which should take care of the shutter speed if stopping down the aperture ring.
Nice set of photos
Great shots -- lot of fun, and as usual, a great episode. Thanks as always man!
beautifull composition, and the colors captured by the fuji xt2 sensor help to. You jokingly said it, but there is an art collection in it. Last year, i bought a used XPro2 and it brought back the fun in fotografy for me.
Even Omar has embraced the lo-fi beats.
The one channel that never disappoints!
Great idea to try 1 x 1 for mental exercising. Wow, man you are like the stealth instructor…packing all sorts of great advice into this under-stated vid. Rock on Obi Wan Kenobi! 😉 Looking forward to hearing about Costa Rica.
You're a brave man to walk down that road with all the cars screaming by you!
A new genre....grunge photography!
The Xt2 is a camera I can always rely on. Interesting to see your square crop images, sure was grungy
Only 2 mins in and love it Omar. My 'noir' XT-20 will go great for this setup (so, thanks - on both counts 😂). Like many of us, I reckon some of my best pics were taken with inclement weather.
What a coincidence - I’ve just come back in from my morning cycle on which I took my Fujifilm XP120 - waterproof drop-proof pocketable, shooting in black and white - I very much recommend the XP series for rain and crap weather, doesn’t have to be the latest model, as far as I can see they’re all about the same inside with just feature changes here and there, pick up a secondhand one if you see one cheap (mine was an unbelievable £30!)
Agree about 1x1. Often works really well. You got some nice shots. Would've liked to see an image overlay of the sneaker and port-a-loo, just creates a story! 😂
Woh. …Square. ? Will give it a go
Isn't it time for all cameras to have square sensors? The final crop could be set in-camera or in post. No more tilting the body to put it into portrait orientation! The body's dimensions would change slightly as well as the display screen. Otherwise, everything else is the same, except that we are liberated from choosing the crop the moment we press the shutter.
Great topic👍 way back I used to shoot 120 using hassle and bronica sq…..sure missed the square.
Love Fuji 35 F2, small & light
👍 la photo avec le pigeon est géniale
I was just thinking about you were in such a beautiful place and then you go to Tonnelle Ave, and then you said it! Haha This video made me think about looking differently at “normal, everyday surroundings.” I hate driving on Tonnelle Ave, and I had some anxiousness watching you walk there, but I want to start my white border art lineup!! Thanks for a mind opening video!!
Edit: It made me happy to see you included the pigeon mural in the video!
The Pigeon looking around the brick way hysterical.
What a great video !!!!! I really enjoy all of them especially this one !!!!! so inspiring
Square or not, I liked this photowalk, fantastic nature is widely available here on TH-cam, this can be more interesting.
Red 280ZX 👌
I've shot mainly in 1:1 since I went over to shooting mainly on M43 cameras (Lumix GX1, GF1 and Olympus EP1 and EP2 IR converted), compacts and mobile devices. I find it works so much better for me, but I suppose that comes from spending a lot of time using Hasselblads back in the early 1980s.
$2400 for that Porta Potty photo is a steal.
I wouldn't drive on Tonelle Ave, much less photo walk it. 😂 I do miss the area, this is my fave vid of yours!
Love square.
so funny when you hold the camera vertical when shooting 1:1. I do it too (I like to shoot in 11)
Bro when did you become this big TH-camr? Subbed since 20k lol. Great content as always!
Don't know if you're aware of it, but you're kind of brilliant Omar. Such an uplifting, motivating video! I live in close proximity to some really grungy areas and typically think of them as "no photo zones", now I am re-thinking!! 😊
I like the pigeon, (if it is) photo
nice, thanks!
Been shooting 1:1 last year or two. Off on. Bit of fun. Using my xt-30
This was really great!
I was lying in bed watching this and I jumped up and got my camera and the changed the aspect ration to 1:1 with Eterna simulation. I have forgotten lately to experiment and have fun. Time to go shoot some sneakers....
Finding beauty in the mundane
Love the 1:1, gotta try that. Funny, the focus on stationary object and wait for the movement to get there. Such an old school MF trick that just works.
In square format the main benefit is that you do not need to flip your camera verticaly. Square will be square 😁
