Finally someone talking about photography and not about cameras.
Check out James Popsys, as well, if you can. Omar and James are my two favorite TH-cam photographers.
Bao Doan I like both Omar and James as well, they both have a self-deprecating style. Explaining the thought process used to get to a picture is more interesting to me than camera content.
I'm 100% unconscious competence, where I'm only a competent photographer in my sleep. Fantastic info here, Omar - please do more.
So humble
unconscious incompetence before this video .. conscious incompetence after this video
haha...
Thanks so much. This was extremely helpful. You should call this segment - “How I do it”
"Dude, suckin' at something is the first step at sorta being good at something." - Jake the Dog.
Thank you for the advice Omar! I'm relatively new to Fuji and photography in general, and your channel has helped a great deal. Great work!
[Almost 4 years after you posted this, TH-cam suggested it for me.] A helpful and enlightening video. At a certain point, one reaches the stage where the problem is not figuring out why the bad pictures are bad, but why the good pictures are good. That's how I learned about compositional elements like leading lines, and the importance of lighting.
This was extremely helpful... And I hardly ever comment on TH-cam
Omar! This explanation is on another level. Very creative man and easy to understand.
Kudos for describing your thought process! 👏 That makes these video stand out from a bunch of others. Sounds like a great new series is coming. Can't wait!
Omar,
Please. Never. Stop. This is amazing. I'm learning so much from you, and you just distribute that positive energy in every video. Please continue this series! And big, huge THANK YOU for doing this.
You're welcome! Thanks for the nice comment!!!!
Been following you since I got my X-T20 and have learned a lot and feel like I'm ready to be intermediate. This was a great summation of the basics that's concise enough to be able to carry in my head when I go out to shoot. Please do do more of these. Perfect for where I feel I am. Thanks for your channel and knowledge and entertainment value. Keep 'em coming.
This is exactly where I'm at right now - please do an intermediate series, love it!
Congratulations, Omar for this new series. It is very useful to improve our techniques and knowledge on how to set up our camera. Please, keep doing this type of videos. Looking forward for the next chapter. Great job!!
Loved the visuals in this beautifully clear and easy-to-understand explanation. Fantastic job, Omar. You da' Man!!
Yes, please!! I would love to see more videos like this. Thank you for the great content!
This was a good watch Omar. Yes, more of these please .
Rick Sammon's saying, as you paraphrased, comes from the cycle of learning of us human beings. The last stage leads us to automatism, 95% of what we do everyday! Great info throughout the whole vid.
Having example pictures is super helpful. I'm a visual learner and it makes more sense when you can see the effects of the settings.
Excellent video. Thank you Omar. Keep it up and don't take too long for the next video.
Thanks Omar. This was nice to see as it's so similar to my own thought processes. Great content.
I love this. Been into this fairly hard for a few years, but I've realized I've become lazy in not thinking through my shots, just being complacent in how I shoot. This is a great reminder of all the things I need to be thinking about all the time. 🙏
Hey Omar, just wanted to give you props on your videos. You are the best at clearly explaining what you do and how. Awesome content 👍
This is such a unique tutorial, I really feel knowing more about photography after the video than before. Let’s do more of these videos! Thanks Omar!
I've been watching you since before I got my first camera and you've definitely helped me out a lot. I cosider myself intermediate so this really helps out a lot. Thanks dude!
This was awesome, Omar! Love your videos. The way you explain this is so easy to understand and get to grips with. Definitely do more please!
Bro really helpful and shows something rarely shown on YT...the thought process of a good photographer especially in quick & tricky situations
Really good video. Great to see other persons workflow. As being self taught it really gives me a lot to hear your thought process. Looking forward to the next one.
Nice work Omar! Great balance of technical info and examples. You covered all the important points in my mind!
Yeay, thanks so much my fav TH-camgrapher! Will wait for the sequels
A very well thought out video...ties everything together...so awesome!
This is exactly the kinda video we need ! Love your channel, thanks 🙌
Another awesome video Omar. I love your approach of using a specific photograph to step us through your thought process. Thanks 🙏
Thank you for your hard work Omar. Please keep this series up
I loved your little pieces of paper. It really did keep all the elements clear and present. Bravo!
Another awesome video. Thank you Omar!!
Amazing video Omar! Learnt a lot, please keep em coming! ✌️
very informative video with the usual "OMAR WAY" loved it man! cant wait to see more :)
This was so straightforward and helpful. Thank you for the great content!
Great work and you're my primary resource for Fuji info & learning. Please keep it up.
This is just what I needed! You have such a great manner of teaching. Please do more in this series! Bravo👏
A great way to explain your thoughts. I will refer people to this video when I’m asked this type of question. Brilliant.
Very good idea. I now know that I am an intermediary photographer, thank you, my world is now sooo much brighter 😂🤣
I use to teach scuba diving at an advanced level and these four stages of competence, as they are referred to in the psychology of skills learning. It may seem unimportant to a few but for many, knowing how they are progressing is very helpful and motivating. Thanks again Omar, please, do more 🙂
Great video Omar, good explanation. Eager to see more of this series of videos. Keep up the good work, thank you.
Omar - Love this video. Simplified explanation of practical hands-on application of valuable photographic principles. Looking forward to more of this kind of tutorial approach to applied photography.
Great video Omar 👍
Thanks for sharing your insights into the thought process and 'SOP' that you follow. This will really help many of us !!!!!
Just got an XT30! Great video to kind of inspire me to get better at this. It's just my hobby but being conscious about what I'm doing (good or bad) has helped me the most.
That was *superb*. Your ability to communicate with viewers in a friendly (disarming?) manner is an extremely valuable skill for teaching.
And yes, great concept for a series! Looking forward to the others - I think I will go there now! ...
Thanks Omar. This video is very helpful. Please do another one and continue this serie.
Amazing video! I was dreaming for content like this for a looooooooong time!!! Extraordinary! 👏👏👏👏
FINALLY someone speaking outside the "exposure triangle"! Now what you need to do is a more organised break-down per episode: Fast.moving objects, night photo, panoramic ... Showing simultaneously all the main factors on a table and how they interact with each other is the correct way. No so much giving "recipes" of success... well done!
Great video! Really useful and love your chilled style.
This was a super helpful tutorial. Thanks Omar!
Omar i've watched so many of your videos and somehow didn't watch this yet. This is a great video as a refresher but also for my fellow friends who I'm trying to get into photography, they can understand the conceptual and technical sides but your examples highlight how those can be translated creatively.
Wow, I finally have good data to help me through the thought process. Great video and looking forward to more.
Excellent!! Very helpful, thank you. I would definitely watch more of these!!
Really enjoyed the way you explained and demonstrated these concepts.
Great video Omar :) the insight of the thinking process is a great lesson. Votting YES for a intermediate serie
Great video Omar, thanks! Looking forward to more of these.
This is the best explanation I watched about how to use camera...! Thanks Omar
Love it more please Omar. Very handy for my photo club at school with ahmmm aspiring students!😊👍
Yes I agree totally. Very informative. Please do more like this. Thanks Omar!
Really helpful Omar. wonderful breakdown of the various elements. I hope this is just the start and you go on to make a series as you suggested..The slips used as visual aids made it easier to follow.
Brother this was AWESOME! I learned so much, and the way you laid out everything was so hopeful to connect the dots. Also the quote intro was so enlightening ✨
I like the real world examples of the thought process behind taking the pictures. Photographers often talk about the exposure triangle and knowing the picture you want to take before hitting the shutter, but they seldom go through the thinking that happens in the spur of the moment, how they came to decide the settings to get the result they wanted.
This was a brilliant video. Please have more such videos. The actual sequence of the thought process is an eye opener.
great, more of these please, most definitely. very useful.
Super nice explain of the process of your brain taking a picture! Thanks, keep going that way!! Totaly apreciate 👌🏼👍🏼
More please. It’s interesting to know your thought process and explaining it with pieces of paper is novel but it does work for me. Keep up the good work.
I agree. I always love your videos, but this was a terrific way to make theory practical and real. Good work!
Loved the examples and how you chose your settings. I'd love to see more videos on this.
Yes! Please continue 😃
This was fun and insightful. Would love more of these breakdowns. Cheers :)
Brilliant! Please keep them coming. 🙏
Nice simple easy to follow teaching. Like the way you laid out the thought process and decisions you make for your settings. Thanks
Omar, I love the way you shared your setup "process" here! This is a fantastic way for us "conscious incompetents" to get a clue! I'm there for the next installment...
Whoa! abrupt end! Good stuff, so yeah keep these going would be fun to hear your thoughts
Very helpful. I love hearing your thought process for different shoots. I would call myself a beginner that aspires to intermediate.
A fantastic guide to photography. Thanks man. Keep it up
Congrats Omar, this video made me realise that I'm already at the intermediate photography level! And I think that I mostly follow your path when shooting.
First: Composition
Second: focal length (even if you are shooting with primes, you have to choose your prime) to get that composition
Third: DOF, do I want everything in focus or I do rather prefer keep a shallow deep of field?
Fourth: movement. Do I want everything to be frozen or I'm looking for movement?
Fifth: Shoot (I trust AUTO ISO more than I should hehe).
Great explanation of the process! Keep up the awesome job!
Really enjoyed this! I would love to and could really benefit from seeing more of these kind of videos.
Enjoyed, great representation of your thought process!
This video is great and would make an awesome series, deconstruction can be very helpful. Thanks Omar!
Again great video Omar, intermediate series sounds great!
Love this video, well really love all of them... BUT this one, super helpful!!! Thanks as always for the amazing content
This was awesome, Omar! Very helpful!
Please More of these videos! Thanks man!
Thanks Omar for the video… a complete different perspective for our own photography levels
One small quibble: When talking about focal length, I think he meant to say More depth of field "when you go wide." He did indeed say Less depth of field for longer focal length.
I like this very much. (He did clarify shortly after.)
Please do an intermediate series! This video is extremely helpful and UNDERRATED. Thank you so much!
Super helpful! Thank you, Omar!
Thanks Omar, really enjoyed this one. Please make more video's like this, they help me a lot :-)
Your videos are so awesome! Thanks for being my new teacher.
This video was awesome, really helpful and a lot of insight. Please keep doing these intermediate vids
Definitely a helpful video Omar!!
Thank you Omar. As someone is "consciously incompetent" I know what all these settings are, but WHEN to do what is what I'm looking for. This kind of breakdown is exactly what I'm looking for.
Great Video Omar. Getting to grips with the correct Sutter speeds, Apertures, iso, focal lengths for the images that you are taking can take a while to get to know. But once you master this.!!!! Well Bob's your uncle!!!!! , you will start enjoying your photography more.
To have that confidence in using all those functions and there connections in any given situation you choose to photograph, will allow you to enjoy your photography more and concentrate on the image you are taking. You will find when you do become competent using those functions. You will take a photograph and not even think about them. Enjoying your development and being able to take a photo with confidence and of course new found knowledge. Is just so satisfying.
Thanks again Omar for your fab videos keep them coming. Cheers Steve
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Excellent, now I know I am rubbish but as I have acknowledged this I can only improve. Great video. Let’s have more of these.
Seeing your photos and listening to your process to get the shot is very helpful. Thanks for sharing this approach. And yes, please do turn this into an intermediate series. Many thanks, Sylvia
These types of videos are great! Please make more. 🙏
