Glad to see Ernst Haas appear on your vlog, he worked with the film knowing what would happen, some slide film was designed to work with the slowest shutter speed of a second, but he would go as far as 10 seconds, and the result was crazy colours. He was a Master Photographer and he worked with Magnum.
I love your urban videos, almost ethereal and meditative, as we are led by you through the streets and it's photographic delights, a real pleasure and joy to watch, thanks for being so inspiring Faizal.
Love the tip of the hat to Ernest. The bullfighter is my favorite. Good for you for trying a different discipline…very inspirational. After seeing the reflections of the cars making a right turn in front of the glass building at 4:41, I kept waiting for the motion blur of the same. ;-). Keep up the great work!
It’s really cool using techniques used by older photographers, could be a cool series maybe like trying Saul Leiter technique by almost only shooting through windows or reflective surfaces
You can push this a step further using rear shutter sync flash, the built in X100 flash is more than enough to experiment with it, exposures of 1sec+ blend in motion blur and tack sharp subjects in really unique ways. I've found it really fun for portraits and really pleasing in black and white also.
I started really getting into photography about 2 years ago, and your videos are always the ones I go back to because It has helped me: 1. Lean how to navigate the camera I am using 2. And most post importantly how see the world differently when I am out, I permantly have a camera with me when I go out now. I know this is a 3 year old video, but I learn something new today that I will 100% be trying the next time I go out to shoot :)
Faizal, thank you so much for these uploads. I have read about this technique many years ago but never tried it. New subscriber here from Cebu Island, Philippines.
Photo at 11:24 is SO good!! Love how you experimented with this video and the way you shot the intro before the POV! Really great stuff as always. Keep it up!
That color palette analogy really made me watch the WHOLE video with different eyes! To the point that it made me implement that experiment in my shoots :)
I appreciate this video and tried it this morning. You saved me time because you mentioned the in camera ND filter. My XT30 doesn’t have one, but I used my over the lens ND filter. Also your comment regarding the speed setting saved even more time. I positioned myself on a bridge with the camera resting on the concrete bridge railing. The results were awesome. Thanks for the video and tips. Very helpful and got me out of my comfort zone as well.
I'm out on a photowalk this morning around Copenhagen, this has definitely inspired me for today. Thank you Faizal, great shots in this one 🔥 Really digging the one at 9:53, something about it just looks so cool!
Great vid. Street photography has so many aspects. I find your adding motion blur to the scene takes Street to a whole other level. I admire your observant, compositional eye. BTW, the link here for your presets opens to an owner only page.
Loved the content. Would love to see you discuss current icons like Joshua Jackson, Sean Tucker, etc. Dissecting their technique would be amazing content
9:46 I don't know if this is just me, but the shadow on the yellow truck looks like a child. The little detail really improves the whole picture. Great work!
excellent video, very inspiring, and i loved the section about haas aswell i had never seen his work before. Keep it up im subscribed and am am looking forward to more videos
Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but if you move the ovf/evf lever to the right and hold for 2 seconds, this activates the ND filter obviating the need to assign a button.
Hadn't heard of Ernst Hass but it's interesting to see this video today because I've been working for a couple weeks on a short project all focused on motion blur.
You know it's funny I was going through my feed and thought to myself, "it's been a minute since he's uploaded, hope he's doing alright" and here we are lol
You're really cool FW. I love the content, all of it. The transparency and love you put into this work is inspiring. Watching your channel grow and content get better (always been dope though) has been great to see and be apart of. Fujifilm research brought me to you, but your genuine heart and soul has kept me around long after buying my first camera two years ago. Photography has been healing for me and after hearing you mention a similar reason for starting I immediately connected with the content. I love my X100V and you too. Thanks for being you.
Wow! I didn't expect to like these photos that much since I'm normally a fan of sharp photos. But these are great! The colours are awesome. I definetely will be trying it out soon. Thanks for the inspiration!
Loved watching this! Great pictures as well!! I was doing a small university-project about movement in Street Photography (in March) and it opened some new opportunities to me I've never considered before. So much fun to play around, I should do that more often :))
I really enjoyed watching this. Really cool idea too. Especially in the middle of the day. It has 100% inspired me to go out and focus on just 1 technique for a shoot. Thanks :)
Love the pictures in this video. Thanks for the inspiration, definitely going to try this if the weather clears up this week. Do you know if the picture @ 0:51 was taken with Ibis or Optical stabilization from the lens? I'm just about to switch camera and lens and I'm thinking I'll get the X-T30 mk II, but I'm wondering if the lack of Ibis is going to be an issue for that style of picture.
Enjoyed your video and examples - I find it is even better at night with the light trails from car lights particularly - results can be quite random and special.
Nice video! Yesterday I was shooting breakdancers and set my shutter to 1/30 to try and capture some blur. Definitely a new idea for me and something worth exploring!
You guys should try the same technique, but put your camera into full manual mode and defocus your lens. It creates an even dreamier effect. Probably would work better with adapted glass and or a macro lens such as the Fuji 60mm.
Nice! Where do you find your inspiration? You often talk about other photographers and show their work too. Where do you provide information or where do you find all these interesting impressions and people?
Except for the one b&w image with the man walking with one leg sharp, i think the color images suit way better then the b&w. with b&w it is a lil too abstract for me. I think what sticks out with these images is the colors themselves in an abstract form like for example the shot with the yellow truck, its reflection in the other car and the blue car passing. I think that was my favourite shot. Great inspirational video
Absolutely loved this video. Made me realize I need to step away from my style a bit to do some things I’m not used to. I’ll give this a shot. Also, you use Lightroom to edit? I’m a Fuji user but read about how lightroom doesn’t process Fuji raw files correctly and should instead use capture one.
Great video man! One of my personal favourites of my own shots happens to be a motion blur shot. I've been experimenting sporadically ever since, but just like you I always forget to keep experimenting with it haha. Also, just wanted to mention, I recently purchased your film presets + have really been enjoying using them!
Great video, buddy. Love how you build it up with Ernst Haas and then convert the "theory" in the field. The motion blur effect kinda reminded me of some impressionistic art because of its washy look. Thanks so much for the inspiration 🙏, stay safe.
I love that B&W shot of the guy walking across the street with one leg that’s sharp. I think you got some really good shots throughout this video.
that one was my favourite too. The lighting was amazing
One of my faves. It looks like the man is coming into existence during the shot.
Glad to see Ernst Haas appear on your vlog, he worked with the film knowing what would happen, some slide film was designed to work with the slowest shutter speed of a second, but he would go as far as 10 seconds, and the result was crazy colours. He was a Master Photographer and he worked with Magnum.
I love the photo at 10:33, to me, it captured perfectly the essence of the man's movement: the blurred silhouette and a leg - the mean of movement.
Shoutout Ernst Haas!! My absolute favorite. His work is consistently so expressive and graphic.
I love the two shots at 11:52 they look so dreamy to me
I love your urban videos, almost ethereal and meditative, as we are led by you through the streets and it's photographic delights, a real pleasure and joy to watch, thanks for being so inspiring Faizal.

That video at the 4:40 mark syncs up so well with the music!
6:10 that shot is stunning the colors are amazing! i really loved this entire video, very inspiring (:
Mine has got to be the blue cap at Champs. 11:48
It’s really cool using techniques used by older photographers, could be a cool series maybe like trying Saul Leiter technique by almost only shooting through windows or reflective surfaces

Hhola amigo y que apertura usaste?
Another type of photography that I have to try along with night photography ! Thanks Faisal, I have plenty to keep me busy & hopefully inspired.
I started really getting into photography about 2 years ago, and your videos are always the ones I go back to because It has helped me:
1. Lean how to navigate the camera I am using
2. And most post importantly how see the world differently when I am out, I permantly have a camera with me when I go out now.
I know this is a 3 year old video, but I learn something new today that I will 100% be trying the next time I go out to shoot :)
as a fellow introverted photographer, your channel is always source of great tips and understading some of the struggles we may share
I love that you bring references and books about artists
photowalk videos are always so cosy, really nicely done!
Couldn’t agree more
One of the best channels out here, great work!
These are beautiful. I experimented with this a bit early in the year, and I love the results of the slow shutter. When it works it really works.
very informative thankyou ! love the shot with the big red blurred blob
I love this technique. I can’t wait to try it out. Thank you
Really impressive shots, Faizal. Enjoyed this little exercise very much!
You got some beauties! Glad to hear you say you will keep trying this technique, certainly inspired me!
such beautiful pictures ! love it
Agree. I typically feel more fulfilled when i go out to shoot with a purpose or theme or location. Keep it up
Faizal, thank you so much for these uploads. I have read about this technique many years ago but never tried it. New subscriber here from Cebu Island, Philippines.
Photo at 11:24 is SO good!! Love how you experimented with this video and the way you shot the intro before the POV! Really great stuff as always. Keep it up!
dude i was literally thinking the same thing that image!!!
The yellow car and truck shot is my favorite
That color palette analogy really made me watch the WHOLE video with different eyes! To the point that it made me implement that experiment in my shoots :)
I love the abstraction that can be generated with this technique 🙌

Thanks for the video and tips. Very helpful and got me out of my comfort zone as well.
I have x-e4 with 27mm lens, which ND filter should i buy? I couldn't able to find.
Fantastic, Faizal! Really fascinating!!!
Excellent work! And I loved your choice of music for the video. It really matches your aesthetic.
Love so many of the shots you took. Motion blur in a photo adds nostalgia and makes me feel something.
I'm out on a photowalk this morning around Copenhagen, this has definitely inspired me for today. Thank you Faizal, great shots in this one 🔥
Really digging the one at 9:53, something about it just looks so cool!
Great video. I really like the shot at 12.43 - the lady with the red coat after the truck passes. 👌🏻
I‘m very grateful for this video! It really keeps me going on and the success especially in these shots makes me extremely happy , thank you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
That Bullfighter at 2:15 WOW!
Thanks for introducing us (me) to Haas. It’s always nice to find photo work of different photographers!
!!!
I feel inspired after watching your video, I will try this out the next time I go shooting. Thank you very much.
Yellow reflection with blue car wizzing through - for the win.
Such a nice way to start the day watching your pov! You are great
Great vid. Street photography has so many aspects. I find your adding motion blur to the scene takes Street to a whole other level. I admire your observant, compositional eye. BTW, the link here for your presets opens to an owner only page.
Nice video and some great shots in there!
I've been bingeing your videos and they're great! Going out with a theme or limitation in mind is an excellent way to make you think creatively.
Great vid and shots, Faiszal! I will give it a go myself.
the shot at 10:33 is amazing!!
10:35, LOVE IT!!!!! Thank you very much for your video!!:x
Motion blur with a subject in focus would be so badass. Great video
Photoshop....
Loved the content. Would love to see you discuss current icons like Joshua Jackson, Sean Tucker, etc. Dissecting their technique would be amazing content
10:35 is such an amazing picture like damn
9:46 I don't know if this is just me, but the shadow on the yellow truck looks like a child. The little detail really improves the whole picture. Great work!
I'm inspired to do a motion blur series after watching this video. Thank you for the inspiration!
excellent video, very inspiring, and i loved the section about haas aswell i had never seen his work before. Keep it up im subscribed and am am looking forward to more videos
Thank you for another inspiring video. A lot of the shots are really cool and artistic. I can't wait to try this myself.
I really like the results you got man! the scenes it creates are both abstract and creative
Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this but if you move the ovf/evf lever to the right and hold for 2 seconds, this activates the ND filter obviating the need to assign a button.
Hadn't heard of Ernst Hass but it's interesting to see this video today because I've been working for a couple weeks on a short project all focused on motion blur.
Did my first motion blur shots the other day and it feels SO WEIRD. Great video, gonna go try some more this weekend. Have a good one man!
You know it's funny I was going through my feed and thought to myself, "it's been a minute since he's uploaded, hope he's doing alright" and here we are lol
Aw :’) It’s looking like you guys can expect videos Friday or Saturday from now on
Really enjoyed the experience, well done!

these are all _so amazing_ 😍
No better Fuji for that exercise - with the built in 4StopND & silent Leaf shutter... So easy!
I just picked up the magnum contact sheets book and omg what a great recommendation thanks man
Wow! the photos that came out of this video are legendary!
Wow! I didn't expect to like these photos that much since I'm normally a fan of sharp photos. But these are great! The colours are awesome. I definetely will be trying it out soon. Thanks for the inspiration!
Loved it dude! I do long exposure art in camera and one of my favorite shots is a long exposure
Incredibly nice work! 👍
Loved watching this! Great pictures as well!!
I was doing a small university-project about movement in Street Photography (in March) and it opened some new opportunities to me I've never considered before. So much fun to play around, I should do that more often :))
Inspiring video.. just ordered the book and ND filter for my lens .. thank you and looking for more POV videos and new street photography ideas.
Thank's for the video and inspiration. What is the hand strap you are using?
I really enjoyed watching this. Really cool idea too. Especially in the middle of the day.
It has 100% inspired me to go out and focus on just 1 technique for a shoot. Thanks :)

For this style of picture you dont need Ibis absolutly .
Exciting experience really great
I love these pictures, which are the settings for the camera? 💖 keep the good content 😊
Nice vid! Some of them turned out really good! I think I will give it a try as well. Thanks for the inspiration!
cant see it clearly. Is ISO set to auto at 4:59 ? (amazing stuff/idea/shots)
160
Enjoyed your video and examples - I find it is even better at night with the light trails from car lights particularly - results can be quite random and special.
Dang! That shot at 10:33 is fantastic!
Amazing video Faizal, made me want to start experimenting with motion blur photography. Keep up the good work!
6:50 fav shot almost like teleporting
Your camera looks incredible! I have a fujifilm xt30 and I find myself not really loving it since the settings are different, but yours looks great!!!
The shots look great! What were your settings in camera ISO Speed, aperture?
Nice video! Yesterday I was shooting breakdancers and set my shutter to 1/30 to try and capture some blur. Definitely a new idea for me and something worth exploring!
Great opportunity to try a slower shutter!
You guys should try the same technique, but put your camera into full manual mode and defocus your lens. It creates an even dreamier effect. Probably would work better with adapted glass and or a macro lens such as the Fuji 60mm.
Love this technique. I don’t try it enough. Will change that.
Hello, could you tell me what is exact size of X100V screen in millimeters?
It would be really helpfull. thanks
10:33 dope
Another great venue for this type of shots is in parts of cities in China town districts, lots of unique colors and blur bring great shots.
Very nicely done.
Nice! Where do you find your inspiration? You often talk about other photographers and show their work too. Where do you provide information or where do you find all these interesting impressions and people?

A fun shoot Thanks for a good video
You inspired me to do this on my next walk!
Absolutely loved this video. Made me realize I need to step away from my style a bit to do some things I’m not used to. I’ll give this a shot.

How about with a Sony HX90V?
Great video! My favorite picture is at 11:36 Also what's the song at 10:00 ?
Great video, buddy. Love how you build it up with Ernst Haas and then convert the "theory" in the field. The motion blur effect kinda reminded me of some impressionistic art because of its washy look. Thanks so much for the inspiration 🙏, stay safe.
pretty cool subject, I've never done any motion blur stuff. might have to try it now.
try it out! It’s always healthy to experiment with new concepts. It’s how we can get better
I've followed the exact same settings, except all my photos are white and extremely over exposed. Even with exposure compensator down to -3
Try using a ND filter. That will help a lot.
