me when i wear my sunglasses when shooting and can’t see anything on my monitor💀

[@binfeeds9066]

Me too but my images are bad after than 😂

[@MitchelLucas]

I hate the moment on a sunny day when I realise I have to take my sunnkes off for shots 😂

[@crainseye8499]

haha well hopefully you’re at least using the viewfinder 😅

[@Aqua_Productions_]

@@crainseye8499 i always try to when i can😂 some shots u just can’t put ur head that close to the camera like when ur laying on the ground 😂

[@crainseye8499]

@@Aqua_Productions_ haha I do understand that 😅😅😅

My girlfriend glanced over as I was watching this and shouted at me "go back! Go back!" The photo at 8:56 made her emotional? She absolutely adores that one. Is there any way I could get a print of it or something? Great job for not being able to see your composition. Would love to see you in my home city of Glasgow, lots of photo opportunities there and the people are better 👀

RYour photography always inspires me- your artistry and composure always keeps me watching with different eyes. Love that you take on each challenge with the fun it’s intended but still has great outcomes ! Love what you do with these challenges -

This is interesting and look like fun. I used to do something like this once, but as easier as I wouldn't check the result on screen, use only a (optical) viewfinder to compose the shot, shoot and done. (pretending to be shoot on film) After finished the session then come back home and check all the results. Those photos were kind of okay with some over and underexposure shots, but sure enough it creates some sort of self motivation, make you want to try more. Thanks for the video.👍

this on an 85mm is crazy

[@boikophoto]

12:54 if at that moment you moved few steps right you might have a good shoot of that Honda in frame of the building "entrance" on the background

[@Opticalwander]

I’m super observant, but what I’ve noticed from doing pov videos (especially while editing) it doesn’t matter how observant you are you’ll always miss things! What I’ve found is once you lock in a frame in your mind you’re focused on that frame so you miss other things around you, best way to avoid this is not to hold for too long on a single frame ❤️(also advice I’m trying to remember myself each time 😂)

[@jakeconnelly2441]

I do this on occasion and it's turned out some pretty amazing shots. All I do is make sure I'm aimed in the general direction I want and then walk and snap. Usually when I'm going between spots doing street photography.

[@mattbrown2488]

IDK that histogram on the rear screen miiiiiiight be against the rules of the challenge! 😉

[@robynjaffe5341]

Okay Sam you did a great job. Not sure I could have done this.

[@mofassil_noor_alif]

Man ! You are crazy ! Love your vids ❤️

[@optical_ideas]

Kinda fun. Also beautiful city. Looking forward to next challenge. 👍 I have an idea. Hopefully I won't forget to post it on your next story

[@binfeeds9066]

U are crazy with ur challenges man thats insane u cannot do this but the color challenge i will try

[@unscriptedvlogs7594]

Soo amazing shots ❤️❤️ and nice challenge Bobby 🤝🫡

[@RiaLunnPhotography]

When you said Bobby at the beginning I thought you were talking about gray fryers Bobby

[@Eryionification]

Lets gooo!

[@cubingbuzz1]

Nice video

[@Roxanafediuc]

Ahah nice this was super interactive ❤🎉

[@furqanriaz8224]

You're so good at framing even no look 😳

[@deanconway8776]

Great challenge but it would of been better if you had not checked your shots because you can adjust accordingly

[@FirefistLight]

I love this idea, no reviewing the photos next time! :)

[@projectb3117]

How you attach your action on your chest?

[@Opticalwander]

With a thing called snapmount 😊

[@tvariuness]

this silliness is what happens when you have to just keep making videos to remain in the good graces of the yt algo smfh. this is why content creators are NOT artists.

[@Opticalwander]

I’m doing these challenges to have a bit of fun and progressively do things I haven’t done before. Like driving to Norway currently. I agree this style of video is on the way out. What is it you expect ? Everyone to make the same videos, same boring talk about bodies and lenses without really doing anything different. You want me to read photo books and mimic old timers ? Or shall I just do what I want and have fun? It might be a silly idea but the images still turned out good and I’m happy with the end results.

[@awpqq]

This is just stupid and a waste of time - what is the point of doing this? Results are surprisingly good though - but why make life difficult.

[@Opticalwander]

Because a life without challenge is boring.

@@Opticalwander every day is a challenge without shooting blind. :)
