All photos are mine. Even the sucky ones....woo hoo.

Check out James Popsys, as well, if you can. Omar and James are my two favorite KZread 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.

Thanks so much. This was extremely helpful. You should call this segment - “How I do it”
This was extremely helpful... And I hardly ever comment on KZread
"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!
Omar! This explanation is on another level. Very creative man and easy to understand.
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 🙂
[Almost 4 years after you posted this, KZread 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.
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!
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!
Excellent video. Thank you Omar. Keep it up and don't take too long for the next video.
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.
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.
This is exactly where I'm at right now - please do an intermediate series, love it!
I think Omar is an “intermediate pigeon photographer” 😂
This was a good watch Omar. Yes, more of these please .
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.

A very well thought out video...ties everything together...so awesome!
Thanks Omar. This was nice to see as it's so similar to my own thought processes. Great content.
This is exactly the kinda video we need ! Love your channel, thanks 🙌
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!!
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.
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 👍
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.
Another awesome video. Thank you Omar!!
Excellent!! Very helpful, thank you. I would definitely watch more of these!!
This was so straightforward and helpful. Thank you for the great content!
Bro really helpful and shows something rarely shown on YT...the thought process of a good photographer especially in quick & tricky situations
Amazing video Omar! Learnt a lot, please keep em coming! ✌️
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!
Great work and you're my primary resource for Fuji info & learning. Please keep it up.
Yeay, thanks so much my fav KZreadgrapher! Will wait for the sequels
Nice work Omar! Great balance of technical info and examples. You covered all the important points in my mind!
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.
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.
very informative video with the usual "OMAR WAY" loved it man! cant wait to see more :)
I loved your little pieces of paper. It really did keep all the elements clear and present. Bravo!
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 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. 🙏
Another awesome video Omar. I love your approach of using a specific photograph to step us through your thought process. Thanks 🙏
Love it more please Omar. Very handy for my photo club at school with ahmmm aspiring students!😊👍
A great way to explain your thoughts. I will refer people to this video when I’m asked this type of question. Brilliant.
Great video Omar 👍 Thanks for sharing your insights into the thought process and 'SOP' that you follow. This will really help many of us !!!!!
Thank you for your hard work Omar. Please keep this series up
Amazing video! I was dreaming for content like this for a looooooooong time!!! Extraordinary! 👏👏👏👏
Yes I agree totally. Very informative. Please do more like this. Thanks Omar!
Great video! Really useful and love your chilled style.
great, more of these please, most definitely. very useful.
Great video Omar, good explanation. Eager to see more of this series of videos. Keep up the good work, thank you.
Really enjoyed this! I would love to and could really benefit from seeing more of these kind of videos.
This was a super helpful tutorial. Thanks Omar!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 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.
Really enjoyed the way you explained and demonstrated these concepts.
This is just what I needed! You have such a great manner of teaching. Please do more in this series! Bravo👏
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.
That was *superb*. Your ability to communicate with viewers in a friendly (disarming?) manner is an extremely valuable skill for teaching.
This is the best explanation I watched about how to use camera...! Thanks Omar
Super nice explain of the process of your brain taking a picture! Thanks, keep going that way!! Totaly apreciate 👌🏼👍🏼
This was a brilliant video. Please have more such videos. The actual sequence of the thought process is an eye opener.
Great video Omar, thanks! Looking forward to more of these.
Yeah Its very helpful when giving examples. Thank you
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.
Brilliant! Please keep them coming. 🙏
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
This was fun and insightful. Would love more of these breakdowns. Cheers :)
These types of videos are great! Please make more. 🙏
Thanks Omar for the video… a complete different perspective for our own photography levels
Your videos are so awesome! Thanks for being my new teacher.
Super helpful! Thanks for this stellar content. We'd be grateful for more...
Please More of these videos! Thanks man!
Very informative and helpful video Omar. Thanks.
Great explanation of the process! Keep up the awesome job!
Love this video, well really love all of them... BUT this one, super helpful!!! Thanks as always for the amazing content
This video is great and would make an awesome series, deconstruction can be very helpful. Thanks Omar!
Loved the examples and how you chose your settings. I'd love to see more videos on this.
Yes! Please continue 😃
Great video Omar :) the insight of the thinking process is a great lesson. Votting YES for a intermediate serie
Nice simple easy to follow teaching. Like the way you laid out the thought process and decisions you make for your settings. Thanks
Super helpful! Thank you, Omar!
Nice! More please! Very helpfull to look into the thought process.
Definitely a helpful video 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.
Great idea for video, I would like to see part 2 and 3..
Whoa! abrupt end! Good stuff, so yeah keep these going would be fun to hear your thoughts
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 ✨
Great info very well presented! Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed, great representation of your thought process!
This was awesome, Omar! Very helpful!
Thanks Omar, really enjoyed this one. Please make more video's like this, they help me a lot :-)
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!
This video was awesome, really helpful and a lot of insight. Please keep doing these intermediate vids
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.
Just great idea 👍. Please do more of this series
This video was so helpful, thank you!
