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, Omar! I am one of the low key followers of yours. I appreciate everything that you do and sharing your photography knowledge to others . Please keep it up. You motivate and inspired a lot of people, even the silent ones like myself. Take care!

For real!!! His content is amazing!
Great !! Great !! Omar. Thanks. I'm waiting for Part 3, 4 and so on ;)
Thank you Omar! This intermediate photography series is delightful, keep it up :)
This is such a great exercise. Can’t encourage you enough to do more of them. Thank you Omar!
Dont stop with this, its gold.
Omar, thanks. Your thought process as described for each of the images helps us to mentally practice before we hit the pavement! Keep up the good work, the cheerful attitude, the great sense of humor!
Please continue giving this classes, I am learning a looooot with you.

I was also thinking exactly this. I mean, he is an amazing teacher via youtube, but he could totally make the jump to a college or high school photography class.
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!
this kind of video is much better than those gear talks out there, thank you Omar!
You have the gift of teaching what some people consider complex and difficult. You simplify a migraine into an easily understood delivery of oh so valuable information. Thank you for creating your You Tube channel. Your also funny as heck. I bet you are a hoot after a few...lol. As always keep up the good work and keep'em flying....Planet Red will be watching....lol.
Omar is one of the true togs left on here.
Awesome Omar for all your support to community and I am religiously follow you since begging and learn lot from you. Thanks for all your excellent support. You are Truly amazing guy. Keep it up buddy.
I love this. Thank you!
Really helpful, thanks Omar. Loving this series.
Thank you for this ...great series.
Very helpful Omar, thx! Love to hear that you come to our country...
Sooooo helpful ! Thanks Omar - always look forward to your tutorials
Thank you, Omar! These videos are so helpful. Maybe by summer when I take my next long vacation, if I see enough of your tutorials, I can get a couple of shots that I can be proud of.
Thanks, as always! Your videos are always informative and easy to follow. I loved the fact that we could see the photo and your tablet with simultaneously. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, Omar - this is exactly what I'm looking for!
Thanks for the tips, they are priceless.
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.
Absolutely perfect for my level of knowledge. I’d love to see this type of series continue.
Great 2 part video so far, thanks Omar!
This has reminded me to learn more about metering, thanks!
These kind of videos are super helpful Omar, please keep it up!
Love your channel. Keep this intermediate series going.
I love this series. Awesome video, thank you!
Thanks Omar, a very helpful tutorial. And it always makes me feel good watching your stuff, because you‘re so funny, nice and easy. 🤗👌🏼
Fantastic! Thanks Omar. You’re one of the first KZreadrs I followed on my new photography journey and you’ve helped me a lot. I love your no nonsense and unpretentious approach. You make it fun (as it should be. ) please keep reminding me that gear doesn’t matter!
Another great lesson. Thanks so much Omar.
I enjoy all your videos, thank you
one can not get them any better. learned sooo much!!! thanx!
Thank Omar keep them coming really enjoy your videos
Incredibly useful hearing this, thanks
Thank you Omar. Never commented before. These videos are really instructive when you explain your thought process behind your photos!
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.
Great tips ! I will use the burst mode more often thanks
Amazing video! Love your tutorials and that format. Thank you!
Great way of teaching. Thank you. Found you about a week ago and really enjoying your videos. Nice work Omar!!
Thanks Omar for talking though your thought process. It is very helpful!
Again examples are huge help to understanding how all these things work together...thank you!
Love these tutorials!
Your teaching style is delightful... keep it up! Thank you!
Awesome. Inspirational. Thanks.
You have become my Fuji guy and most favourite vlogger for useful photography tips! Thank you!! 8-)
Thank you Omar, I love these tutorials. I want to up my photography game. I am playing around with manual and aperture priority but I was unclear about certain things or if I was even doing it right. Your tutorials have given me more confidence to just keep trying and playing with it. If I get a couple of good shots from a day out I’m happy. Love the channel, all the best, Ray 👍
Great Series!! Very helpful reminders for us intermediates. Thank you!
Coool !!! Wonderful video. Keep they comming. Thank you Omar
Thank you, Omar. I just got to your channel a few days ago and I'm consuming all your videos like crazy. In particular the tutorials are extremely helpful to the conscious incompetents like me. Keep it up!
Thank you Omar!! Need more of content like this pleaasssseeeeeeeeeeeeee.................................
Thank YOU! I have seen your 1 and 2 video it helps a lot for equipping us for our photography journey❤😊
Awesome video, Omar - really helpful. More like this, please!
Again very helpful and nice to watch.
This is incredibly useful ! Your content is gold ❤️
Great tips. Thank you
Love this videos. I am getting better at this. I paused each pic and my choices were very similar to yours. still need to choose metering better and cancel auto iso.
Very useful video! There is nowhere near enough of this sort of thing out there.
Another great video, huge fan of your work. Really professional but with humor and fun. Loved it! Thanks for sharing. Greetings from France!
Super helpful! waiting for part 3...
Awesome.... I learn so much. I usually shoot with vintage lenses so most of the time i do manual on my xt3.
Love this series and hearing your thought process behind the shots. Recently moved to fuji; Chuffed I've found your channel and podcast channel. Loving your style 3000 🙂
Fantastic. Getting away from looking for better gear and leaning into learning the triangle. Great lessons, both one and two. Thanks
Great tutorial Omar.
Thank you Omar!! We need part 3 plz!
Love these type of videos. Understanding the process for each photo makes it easier to prepare for when you want to try something similar. Thanks
Super helpful. Right in my learning curve! Think I will make my own little cheat sheet and analysis some of my own shots because I am often just twirling dials out there, and need to get my thoughts more organized in order to pick correct settings. Best video I have watched on this. Keep the intermediate series going!!
I have been watching your videos, I just found you not that long ago.YOU ARE THE BEST THERE IS ON KZread !!!!! Thank you I well keep watching, you have already helped me so much keep up the great videos your the best.
thank you again Omar.. you would be a great photography professor .. i took notes on your settings mentioned on all pictures & planned to test it myself. hoping for more series of this. thanks!!
Helpful? That was an awesome Intermediate Master Class - thanks Omar!
This was very helpful .... Thank you very much
Awesome. I’m new to photography & you’re giving out a great information. I’m off tomorrow. I can’t wait to go out & shoot. Thank you
You’re giving excellent stuff, Omar. Keep it up 👍🏻
Another great video, thanks Omar. Love your informative with humour style. Keep the vids coming 🙂
This series is amazing Omar. Keep up with it :)
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.
Learning so much from your brilliant videos. Particularly love this one looking at scenes through the eyes of a pro - thank you from a newbie owner of a Fuji T20 and super excited to get shooting.
Thank you for your work. I really like your humorous way of doing videos but also appreciate this kind of more technique videos. Greetings from Germany! Take care
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.
Fantastic! Very logical.
Yes Omar, it was very helpful...even though nothing you mentioned was really new to me (well, maybe 1 or 2 things...), it's all a great review and reinforces what we may already know. Thanks for taking the time to put these vlogs together for us...
Another great tutorial.
Beautiful portrait.
Brother, I make my living with photography and I enjoyed your video thoroughly. I always enjoy and learn when I get a glimpse of another photographer's thought process and flow.
Loved this one...shared it with my college student son who is struggling to understand all these things with his current professor (who he finds boring and not super helpful) your style of coaching will really help him "get it"....thanks for this!!!

Omar, thank you for making this video brother, I lean a lot from watching your videos. Keep doing what you are doing, you create an impact and you definitely contribute to make this world a better place....through Photography. Thank you.
Hey Omar, so honoured to hear you’re visiting Belgium this summer! Cycling-photography tip: the book ‘Flandrien’ by Belgian photographer Stephan Vanfleteren. Small book, great photographer!
Thanks for the F stop tip when shooting macro.
Omar please do more of these videos. Gracias hermanito
Thanks for this, very inspiring, hope you will make more video like this.
Thanks a lot. I learned a lot. Just got my canon 90 D and I’m totally new to photography
Very helpful. More please.
I am two years in and recently took an intermediate class that definitely reinforced for me that I have attained that level. These videos have done the same in a wonderful way. I love the way you have covered all the bases in these two videos and used examples to make it come alive. Great job Omar! 👍🙏☺️
Realized from boots and flowers example that my aperture was causing focus issues (bokehlicious) and not AF system. Really great
Great lesson, cheers Omar!
Great video. Thanks 🙏
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
