Really enjoy these videos 2 years later. Thank you for the tips! You’re a funny dude 😂

[@Mike-fg5cj]

Love these episodes! To bad you didn't get to my picture I'm just going to assume it was perfect and didn't need any editing 😝

[@iainmacdonald7034]

Am I learning from these videos? Absolutely, Omar. Thank you so much.

[@alvarojeff05]

The only long videos I don't mind not skipping are your videos 🤙

[@kountchev1]

perfectly (!) informative!! and no, it's not long because you reviewed so many pics. learned so much! great!

[@LockeLeon]

This is incredibly useful. I feel like I've learnt a lot from composition in just 24 minutes but in a natural way. Good work Omar!

[@set32281]

Thank you Omar for puting my photo of the guy on the stadium. You are right, I didn't have a lot of space. Thank you so much.

[@andreagreco2068]

This episodes/tutorials are awesome! Not the same tips you can read anywhers on the web, but experience sharing.. please do more..also on other photography topics..

[@Bassbunker]

another great video Omar!

[@deathism]

"I know this is a long video.." Dude, it didnt feel long at all. Love the way you go about it so candidly. And it's refreshing to see different perspectives. Need more of these man.. Solid stuff!

[@Jezus_moim_Panem]

„Love, love..” 🤣🤣 I love your sense of humor! 😁

[@MrV2u]

Man I can watch you edit and talk all day man. Very good video. Can I have some more please? Lol

[@duschbrauser]

Thanks for cropping my photo. Awesome video 😉

[@AlexMaureira]

Omar I love this kind of videos , your humor is very "latino" like mine....love it and at the same time we learn

[@muatao9943]

That was fantastic Omar. Thanks so much!

[@OmerCalderon]

Thank you that was very helpful. It seems that watching you edit photos of non experts photographers gives great value. I learned a lot. Please do more of those. It would be great to see your take on light and exposure, colors and so on

[@mikecastles]

A really good video, always enjoy your vids but this one was really informational (is that really a word). Gear reviews are great and all that, but this - this is gold.

[@mst311]

hayyy my dog made the cut and is now famous! wow! :o now to make sure to leave more headroom ;)

[@Honkus]

"yoooo.....I fixed your photo!" ...haha, may have gotten a 'what are you laughing at' from the kid. A great review of photos and tickles my gray matter on what I can do to some of mine.

[@joerichard171]

Love and look forward to your videos, there is nothing like learning with a touch of humour

[@vinicius3347]

The last one is amazing!!!!

[@tracyleepitre6079]

Fun to watch ...thanks for sharing!!!

[@Stophey]

Loved this! I learn a lot from these types of videos, and find they help a lot in improving my composition skills in the field.

[@Yesthankyou8]

Loved this video, more of this would be great 😊

[@logical333]

Love your personality and humor :) Your share good information while making if fun to watch. Keep it up.

[@FarreIl]

Thanks Omar, love your vibe!

[@robertrudolf8070]

One of rare videos I went all the way through :)

[@andreazevedo8325]

This part II is awesome Omar. Thank you for your views 😀 Please give us more videos of this kind. Keep up the great work 👍 PS - The last photo is simply awesome, I totally agree with you it works in every single way you crop it.

[@laurarobson9966]

Super love the tutorials and critiques that you do, and the whole intermediate photographer series. I learn so much! Great job and I hope to see more of these sorts of videos. I'd also love to see the series on flash that was mentioned in a previous video? But these really help, so thank you for your attention!

[@powerlink2000]

Great video, so many lessons learned!

[@gustavomendez6279]

Omg, I’m getting to this so late! Lol... my kid was suuuper stoked when she saw the pic of her and her brother in the video. This was super helpful to watch and I feel really inspired to keep up with this wonderful hobby. Love this kind of video and looking forward to more like it! :)

[@hecam_abbasi]

thank you Omar! Keep up the great work 😇✌

[@alanfujimori1127]

One of your best.

[@leilasmama01]

Tremendously helpful! I’m learning so much ! Thank you 🥰

[@djtiemens7481]

Thanks Omar!

[@daxvolfan]

I saw my photo in there! I forgot I sent one in. Cool video. Always interesting to hear someone else's perspective. I get locked in on my thoughts and don't change stuff. I have a longtime friend that is a great photographer and sometimes I send him stuff just to see what he thinks or what he would do differently. Opens up my perspective on stuff. Keep doing these!

[@afisher555]

thank you! Really helpful and interesting to hear your thought processes.

[@evaruppert9373]

More more more! Great.:)

[@cohibablack]

Duuuuuuude!! Great video as usual..

[@MadeByJoey]

I love this style of content!

[@desertoo23]

I love these videos. You're very funny !!!

[@froziac3509]

9:54 thats me :P I'm just starting out and i took that photo like in the first month of getting my camera. Working on trying to get interesting photos and not just photos of stuff. Kinda wish there was more criticism but thanks for taking the time and great vid, always learning alot.

[@davidwilson6226]

Excellent!

[@Melsingzy]

Thank you for the video! Learnt quite a bit!

[@Spet666]

Learned a lot, Omar! Thanks again 😎🤘🏻

[@wilderbeest773]

Inspirational! Thank you.

[@StephanieCorralArt]

Always learning, right? Also, received my 40th bday gift a few days early. Proud owner of a new XT200 and Viltrox 23mm, thanks to hubby! Now I’m binging on your channel, TY Omar 🙌

[@kathealy60]

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@dennyrachman2333]

Great video!!

[@adindaindriaputri3817]

Thank you omar for putting my picture 12:00, I bought my first camera XT3 After watching one of your video, and as a newbie i learn a lot from your channel... 😀😀

[@akalli]

I'm new to your channel and so far have loved everything you've shown. I'm learning so much about cropping and giving space to subjects. Your presentation style is so enjoyable to watch. I could watch you do this for a long time and it would never get old. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and you've got yourself a new subscriber :)

[@georgefrench1907]

Good stuff.

[@AJ-em2rb]

holy this this was awesome

[@jeremyadelman5310]

Thank you!

[@kennypringle4580]

Good stuff 👍

[@ruelapas6240]

I love it man. Thanks. ❤️🇵🇭

[@kueiseong]

Thanks, learned a lot.

[@adamcarter6013]

Really amazing and helpful. I've been making justifications for my bad framing for too long.

[@Csaba-Miklos]

Thanks Omar for your advice on my photo of the barn at the beginning of the video! FYI I picked up an XT3, like you suggested, because of the great pricing now!

[@malcolmanderson8339]

Mark Gonzalez and Christian Hosoi, two of the greats

[@markyteo]

More more!!!

[@christiankrivograd1539]

top again, thx!

[@BP91-y6m]

Do you know whats came to my mind while was watching you... "I hate bipolarity, it's awesome! " Keep it up! I love your videos!

[@ricaa50]

Like these videos. Simple but educational. And a little bit of extra entertainment! Could you do a video that talks about blowing out the highlights and preserving the shadows. Without stacking images. I'm strictly a Fuji shooter and sometimes open up the shadows in camera and lower the exposure on a sunny day. Would like to hear your thoughts on settings you use and how you process them later? Thanks, Ric

[@marcjjohn]

Great video! One of the few photo "reviews" that inspires me to get out and shoot! don't change a thing, love your positivity!

[@ptrbssr]

Liked this one as well. The video format is a perfect approach for me to play along. See what I would do and then check your actual edit (oh, of course... You weren't editing these shots ;-)). Thanks again!

[@grafixnetz]

GREAT stuff! Sometimes i use elements in a photo that actually mark the rule of 3rds lines instead of the subject itself. For instance, branches or other lines coming in at a third, lines showing the midpoints. Best when subject ALSO fits 3rds rule. Wish I could send examples:)

[@giselesmith7795]

Loved this! I learned to think widescreen and level your photo, which seems to be a common problem. Keep educating us. Thanks Omar!

[@diego_perez]

Nice video Omar! everytime I see this kind of video I get full of motivation to edit my photos but I have to work and I can't xD

[@MikeMena]

SÚPER INFORMATIVE. I watched the whole thing! Where do we submit for next one?

[@wadeduvall7026]

More!

[@tdalton854]

Nice , really enjoyed seeing what you thought compared to what i was thinking . don't think i knew about leaving same amount of space at top and bottom like you mentioned a few times. wondering if you'll expand on leaving a white border on an image? Been debating that with myself lately. thanks

[@donbodat]

It is Joe McNally 🙂

[@momchilyordanov8190]

Crop all the way! Jokes aside, I shoot with a high megapixel camera now and I absolutely LOVE the latitude to crop. Maybe it's lazy, but I love it...

[@jonramer8984]

I enjoy seeing to edit images. You do all the work, I get good ideas. 👍👍😀 Also, it’s a little thing but I appreciate how you dive right into the content! A You tuber saying their name and “welcome to the channel”! Is redundant in my humble opinion. The title of the video said all that already 😬 So thanks for the great videos! Blah blah blah ...

[@Red0x99]

Damnit, so sad you don't edit the photographs. Would have participated if you did! 😅

[@zacredacted2137]

Omar awesome helpful video! I need some help from all of you smart fuji people. I want a used beater camera costing ~ $400-$650. Should I go X-T20, X-T2....Something else/better? Thanks for your help!

[@salvomangiaglia5171]

Omar,i am considering to buy the 35 xf 1.4, i would like to ask you if the quality of the files and the bokeh is as many say better than the 35 xf f2?

[@stenlofgren7163]

In the print line, are you talking about Joe McNally?

[@chasescooper]

Great video. You should do more conceptual photo classes like these. A lot of KZbin videos focus so much on the “software” and moving sliders and less on basic principles, which is more important at the end of the day. Thanks for keeping things raw without all this nonsense b-roll too *cough* Peter McK *cough* 😁

[@gunnarknutsson5798]

Omar. I was wandering about one thing. What program are you croping yours photos? Photoshop,ore something else? Iam new in that digital photograph,and coming from my old Pentax MX and Super film cameras,and know so little about the digital world. I like so much your channel,and your photos are wonderful. Can you help me a little bit?

[@6.O_Oy]

5:55 the picture is taken in Taiwan. Have you ever been to Taiwan for visit or tour? Welcome if COVID passed.

[@HansPeter-wd6lm]

You could do Live-Videos on twitch with this kind of videos and earning more money. You know KZbin changed a lot the last years. Twitch is more worth it. Don't get me wrong. KZbin is your 1st Plattform. But editing could work on twitch. And then you load them up on KZbin. One gig two times payed.

[@cryptotrader2779]

A lot of my photos follow the Rule of Turds. Still, always hoping I get better.

[@Luigi13]

Omar, so these are shots from different people?

[@yoyoos]

I keep hitting like trying to increase count but it only goes up one 😂👍

[@RonK]

2:10 - guess you missed the one photo that was really, really NOT level - check the water line ;)

[@victorf5404]

Part 1 is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipKciJuBfp5pqdk (in-video link didn’t work for me)

[@andrewperk]

I feel if I didnt frame the picture properly in camera that its not a good photo and ill discard it. The only time I crop is for birding.

[@jamzer312]

You should check Arnold Newman’s 1946 classic image of Igor Stravinsky. Talk about cropping. And the image is synonymous with Stravinsky. Just google it.

[@andrewperk]

@@jamzer312 ill check it out.

[@andrewperk]

@@jamzer312 that is a beautiful image. I can see how cropping is beneficial and allows more creativity after the fact. I was not bashing those who crop. I was just saying what I feel when I crop my photos.

[@jamzer312]

@andrewperk no worries I didn’t think you were bashing anyone. 🙂 Photography is art and art is subjective. There were times when Omar was cropping out negative space and I thought he went too far but that’s just my take on negative space. It’s all good.

[@rick-deckard]

Love this channel and like you a lot! But too much clarity looks bad. In a few years all these clarified photos will look like trash to our future eyes. :) Cheers!

[@senior_ranger]

You and I have the clarity fetish!
