    Thank you Omar. I know these 'tutorial' type vids don't do as well for views/likes but they are some of your best content. I think I speak for everyone here when I say that those of us who do watch them *really* *really* appreciate that you still do them. You're a great teacher as well as being a great photographer (and youtuber). Please keep them up!

    Thank you for this series! You have given me some great ideas for my photo shoots from now on. Just one of the many points that blew my mind was when you talked about bokeh being more obvious at 55mm rather than at a wider angle. I had never thought about focal length affecting depth of field. Also...using burst mode with bugs. Please keep these videos coming!

  • @Triathalife

    As a beginner to intermediate photographer I find it really valuable to hear you talk through your thought process. Videos about the settings and what they do is helpful but giving it the context and understanding how you’re using them is awesome.

    Love the format, love the idea. Please do more of these. I feel your aperture is just a stop wider than I would have guessed. Is this to do with sensor size? Great of you to show pics in which you think with hindsight that you could have had a slightly different setting.

    Thank you for parts 1 & 2. I’m always reviewing the basics, especially since January when I got the XT30 for travel. Great clarity in explaining things & I knew there was a reason I never use auto ISO. by the way , if your Belgium trip isn’t canceled due to the Virus you should visit the Antwerp train station- it’s an architectural phenomenon.

  • @street2stream726
    @street2stream726 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very helpful. Maybe I can move up to intermediate soon. One thing I’ve found is that even with aperture priority one has a tendency to think the camera will work it out and one doesn’t pay due attention to the detail. Good video Omar

  • @thenexthobby
    @thenexthobby 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Visually I'm a firstly compositional thinker. I walk or drive around, looking ... and decide which focal length and d.o.f. I want for capture. That necessarily then brings me to aperture (unless the subject is action). So for me I'd place your first column as _third_ because auto vs manual is merely the method to reach how I use the first two choices.
    The trouble with photography is that ultimately ain't none of it unimportant. The other day I participated in a quick and casual shoot or my kid and her friends indoors, all dressed up to go to "a formal" (middle school dance.)
    I brought one lens, the wrong one, because I prioritized its low light capability instead of firstly being able to capture the scenes (focal length). Rookie mistake.

    Very helpful, Omar! I've been using manual mode on the Fuji X-t3 except for auto ISO. However, I've been doing this without too much thought process. Now, with all these other elements you're bringing into the picture, I am forced to think about what is happening in the camera. By doing this, I'm gaining a better understanding of processing all the elements in my mind, which prevents complacency. Thanks, Omar!

I'd also love to see you do a street photography session - what do you do when you walk around, how do you about taking photos of the people, etc. Love your stuff, keep it up!

  • @28dragonking
    @28dragonking 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think that in Fuji Cameras if you set the Dynamic Range to Auto at scene with harsh contrasting light it will go to something like DR 200% and boost the ISO up so people if you don't want the camera to pick higher ISO when you leave Auto ISO maybe consider turning off DR Auto

  • @antonioluismadeira
    @antonioluismadeira 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Omar. Thank you. Indeed a great learning process to consolidate how to take pictures. I have an XT1 and I usually take photos in Aperture (A) priority. In the pass I took it in Manual mode, but in A mode it is faster and photos come well.. Normally my ISO is most of the time in manual, because the camera has trend to go to high ISO and that brings noise in my old sensor. Anyway, I will try more often to automatic ISO limited to ISO 800 for outdoors . The other issue is photos in burst modern and now I become more aware of the advantages . I will be interested in Manual focus combine with the use of back bottom focus (AF L.). In continuos focusing mode this camera it is not very good- it does not follow the objects. Omar thank your insightful highlights. Regards Antonio, from Portugal.

    Maybe your camera often chooses ISO 400 cause you've set it to DR Auto. Then the camera mostly pick ISO 400 (or 320 in case of the latest Fuji sensor) I think.

    Thanks for these videos. Doing a little prep before a trip to Colorado with my new X-T30 upgrade from the X30. You're right the Q button is annoying and the missing d-pad is a bummer, I but couldn't pass up the price for the body and kit that I found. Also splurged on the 16mm 1.4 which I realize is total overkill for a newbie, but I missed the close focus distance of my X30 so much.

    Hi Omar, In one of your recent videos you mentioned you were going to Belgium. I lived in Brussels from ,74 to '77. It is a great city, ideal for walking and also easy to move from area to area on the Metro.
    One walk that would take in a lot of sites would be to Start at Louise Metro station. North to the Palais de Justice : then North East to the Square du Petit Sablon : then a short walk to
    Église catholique Notre-Dame-du-Sablon : Short walk to Grote Zavel (nice place for a break) : From here it is due North to the Grande Place. If you are going anywhere else in Belgium let me know it is an interesting a varied country and the food is great.

    thanks for the videos omar. I think when you set your auto ISO you had your ISO at 400 because then it will set that as the minimum and wont go below it. If you change it to a lower ISO when setting up auto ISO it should be resolved your problem from what i have researched.
