Thank you.

The wrist strap dangling while he holds the camera over the water.... not lying, it made me anxious 😅

[@TylerAldrich]

The great thing about a wrist strap is it can prevent you from dropping your camera in the water ;-)

[@karinjohnstone6690]

Top tip!!!

[@spellacy29]

We don't use the word 'fall' in British English much anymore, but we used to in the 1800s, apparently. I love the subtle differences between different regional versions of English. It makes it fun!

[@renekun1982]

As a satisfied X-T20 enthusiast, I am so glad that you brought the original gangster again on your channel! Great video as usual!

[@venom2k2]

Fuji Daddy blessed us with another gem

[@ogonzilla]

I prefer Nikon-Fuji-Sony-it don't matter daddy. ;)

[@venom2k2]

@@ogonzilla good point. When it comes to Fuji things, you are my Fuji Daddy. Keep being awesome! You are doing a hell of a job, bro

[@Pbat23]

Omar you are simply hilarious... Love your humour and positiveness :) PS: I started watching your videos during the pandemic out of boredom and thanks to you, I got my first professional camera and is exactly an X-t20 plus I got this same lens. Thanks for the inspiration, def going out next weekend to check for cool fall shots.

[@jshanni2066]

Motorcycles (great bike , the V-strom) and cameras. What a combo. Excellent work.

[@almitchell49]

You are my favorite KZbin photo friend! Thanks for taking me along on your autumn photo shoot!

[@kitcarturboprinz898]

Watching your video in the morning puts me in a good mood! As its already fall again I'll take your video as an inspiration and do a little nature shoot in the next few days.

[@cescudify]

Another Biking episode love it haha. man that ZV-1 seems to be working out great for your for these vlogging purposes. I almost thought it was your Z6II until you power zoomed near the waters. Enjoy the ride and the autumn (I wrote fall and edited this because it sounds terrible next to enjoy the ride). Ride safe!

[@ogonzilla]

ZV1 is great so far. 😁

[@blakemanuel4700]

You are so funny. Please don’t ever stop having fun with this hobby.

[@albertsmith9315]

Very nice, Omar! I'm so jealous because I am now living in Florida and Autumn here last for about 6 hours in early January. Nothing changes colors, it's just 7 degrees cooler. Having been using the 27mm (new version) since March, I'm thinking that it might just be the best Goldilocks focal length for general photography. Sure you might miss some shots, but the hundreds of appropriate subjects can make up for its limitations... all in a tiny package. As always, really enjoyed this presentation.

[@ogonzilla]

It's my fav....

[@DaemonC]

You sound like you're having the time of your life and its honestly infectious! Thanks for the video and advice! :)

[@Honkus]

👍 Dang I love Autumn! I just FALL over at the colors out there! I can't wait to get out and capture these Fall colors!

[@sweet4nice2003]

Omar u just fun man...love those "Fall" images lol....Thank u for the cheer up...XT2 fan here from South Africa!

[@briangrogan1622]

So much fun!! Many thanks...

[@Stains87]

"we call it mostly fall here." - LOL! Omar, your comedic timing is great. 😂🤌

[@stevemozzie6497]

Fall is absolutely fine.

[@bobdrawbaugh4207]

The 27mm and a V-Strom? Heck yes!!

[@douglasdrumond]

You should definitely make a tank sticker that looks like Po (like what you did at 14:26)! It was AWESOME!

[@giomarcos4438]

Awesome video! Enjoyed so much! 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing 27mm pancake.

[@paulthomas8986]

Love the "Monet" shot, and those fuji colors 🥰. Great name for your bike too. Looked right at home on those twisty roads.

[@michaelneumann1865]

I've owned the lens for a couple weeks. I had LOW expectations. I'm generally a full frame guy using blah blah blah the best lenses (really). I am now really impressed by this tiny, cheap, light weight lens for landscapes and detail. Shocked frankly. Really enjoy your work Omar!!! Thank you!! Michael Neumann - One World Productions.

[@johns1139]

Never knew that you ride! Love this video. This lens is definitely on my wishlist.

[@jvblanc9532]

I am team Fall. Autum sounds soo poetic for the inconvenience that fall leaves give me.

[@CWReace]

I love the 27mm (40mm FF equiv) focal length, and it's my default "traveling light" prime. I also find I'm liking the colors on my recently acquired X-Pro 2; so now my standard walkabout combo is the X-Pro 2 with the XF 27mm f/2.8. :)

[@ogonzilla]

Great combo

[@karinjohnstone6690]

Do you have the 27mm with or without aperture ring?

[@CWReace]

@@karinjohnstone6690 I updated from the original to the new one soon after it came out, specifically for that feature. 🙂

[@simonwilliams2109]

Thanks Omar and Po. Gotta love aut....fall beautiful colours and atmosphere.

[@shivhaaha]

I am your fan Omar.... i enjoy watching your videos...the way u are teaching + making fun! I love you !

[@CharlieWestGaming]

Autumn vibes! 🍁🍂🌿

[@Tim.Traveler]

Noraly! Love Itchy Boots. So what your verdict on this lens over the 23?

[@bobby33353]

Happy Riding Omar and Pow ❤️ A video on pre focus that you missed in this video would be nice 👍

[@ogonzilla]

made it already. watch every video lol

[@marekfornalewicz2604]

Greetings from Poland . You are the Best:)

[@senior_ranger]

Two suggestions: 1.) Shades of Death Road, Allamuchy. I used to bicycle there. 2.) The Worthington State Forest area north of Tocks Island. Back in the sixties/seventies the state bought (eminent domained) all the land along the river to build a dam at Tocks Island. We defeated the stupid dam idea, but all the old houses and land remained abandoned. I haven't been through there since the nineties, but I'm sure it's still an interesting look at the past -- and what might have ended up underwater!

[@Rex_S]

Was just in that area today! Beautiful part of the state.

[@ogonzilla]

Sounds interesting!

[@Gertvdbos]

Just bought my first camera, the X-T20. Thanks for all the videos. U made me understand the camera really fast! Great content!!

[@richardguinan3298]

Cameras and motorcycles what’s better than that.. Great ideas and wonderful photos by the way

[@mathiaskrause_blunkerbach]

Fujifilm 27mm f 2.8: One of the cheapest and certainly most underrated lenses out of the X-Series . I just love it.

[@nilx4781]

Just wanna say Hi Omar. Big fan here from Perth

[@giselesmith7795]

I love that you brought the XT-20 with you. I like the warm colors of my XT-2. We are just now getting quite a bit of leaf changing so I will be out this week. Timing for your WB discussion was great for me. As usual, good fun watching you.

[@steveneate]

You're so charismatic, funny, and inspiring. Your videos often motivate me to go and edit my own photos on a week day after work. As always, thanks for sharing!

[@jackh1749]

Great video.. you have to add the Po decal to your tank now!! Awesome! 😂

[@cirmothe9]

I really liked the format of this video. Your thought process live while you're shooting and some at home lightroom touchups.

[@andyb9637]

Great video! Love the 27mm, my favourite. It’s Fall up here in Canada 🍂🍂 Always has been and always will be 🍁🍁🍁

[@callefty3670]

caution - wear something bright orange while in the woods in autumn...the other shooters aren't carrying cameras.

[@dungbeetle.]

The blue sky in the reflection's background works well.

[@gooseski17]

Well done. Enjoyed this. Leaves are hot!

[@leilasmama01]

You’re the funniest dude! 😂. Great shots , I particularly liked the biker shot! 😋 Jack black is The Man! 👊🏻(Nachooooooo!)

[@miguelosvaldo]

you're genius, that lens is amazing, and Moto Panda looks great. win-win.

[@jimembo1967]

Really enjoyed this beautiful video. Thanks for all the useful photo tips.

[@danielschmaderer]

Don’t worry Omar, we call it FALL in Los Angeles as well. Though our weather isn’t usually that nice.

[@robertalexandrudobre1669]

11:03 ...and quickly switch to CH drive mode... :) Great videos, Omar! I really enjoy watching them, they're very natural. Maybe you'll make a video and tell us what do you think are the best Fuji X Weekly recipes to have stored in a Fujifilm camera to be ready for most situations. They are so many and a little documentation would help. Thanks!

[@HaiTomVlog]

Those leaves have been known to take out photographers, glad you made it back home unscathed 😂

I was dodging as best as I could.

[@mikehatswell3961]

Hi Omar, another hilarious video, got into your Chanel through Fuji but was not surprised to discover you were also into bikes, the two seem to go together so well, freedom and self expression. just remember a large percentage of your followers will synchronize the tachometer with the sound track bro ;-) keep up the great work and get out on the Strom with the fuji more often, doing the two together works so well.

[@tonyjones99]

Superb Photography Omar. Many Thanks.

[@addypope2706]

Nice idea and some lovely shots. But...... i got the feeling that the first few shots were probably better described as nature portraits rather than landscape. Just cos they were generally close range with a "subject" and some blur which is pretty much how you do portraits. Nature portraits - have we totally made something up? The barcode shot however was landscape and really nice!

[@Aper0204]

Beautiful photos, great videos. Thanks

[@taterandy3958]

Oh man 😂 I call Autumn also (Fall) too and this video just popped up! I will be trying and tuning my advice for my fall photography! I don't know if my picture will like yours 🤣 but I am interested in buying a Fujifilm 27mm lens just to see how it shoots on landscape, urban & street documentary! Good name for your motorcycle!

[@jw0001]

Nice Fall shots. Good video

[@linkinboiz]

First video of you but I instantly subed. Love your positivity despite you holding the camera near the water with your wrist trap off gives me sweat haha. Just wonder what lens would you recommend for street and landscape and a bit of portraits? I am looking at XF lens as well as cheap options such as TTartisan or 7artisans

[@markonasteski9207]

Omar you are the greatest youtuber 👍💪cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭 😉

[@Chloiber]

Your videos are awesome. I only occasionally shoot photos and mainly bought the XT3 for to have a proper camera for my vacations (also wildlife/animals). I nevertheless always come back to this channel, even if im not using the camera - its a pleasure to watch your videos. Also, just when I thought “Nice photos, I wonder how he edits them” - BAM FutureOmar pops in. You read my mind! PS: 12:19 had me laughing out loud

[@marcokleinert1827]

very beautiful pictures out of nothing with a great mind of eye and Fuji Magic 🥰👍

[@BlockChain09]

Hi Omar. What do you think about fuji recipe? Don't you ever try a ton of fuji recipes? What's the best fuji recipe you love?

[@zgagula]

27mm f2.8, sounds like you shoud try new ricoh GR3x and make a video 😉😃

[@AntonMuller]

Hey Omar thank you so much for the great Lightroom tips - as an amateur photographer I find the software a bit overwhelming and your clear explanations made it much less so ! And for brilliant results too !

[@PhilipBallGarry]

Yay! You got your VStrom 🤗. I recognised it straight away from those barn door mirrors 😘. A brilliant all rounder the VStrom from the 250 all the way to the 1000. Wait! You took the 27mm F/2.8 - also my favourite walk-around "throw in the bag" lens. It's so versatile 👍. Thanks for the masterclass on shooting "Falltumn" Omar - much appreciated.

[@JohnKrill]

The 28mm f2.8 is the little camera lens that can and does!

[@joyjeetpaul2218]

I'm using a FUJIFILM XT30 II with XC15-45mm F3.5-5.6 OIS PZ kit lens 😊 for Streetphotography and daily shooting purpose...

[@aucourant9998]

I love the 27mm f2.8. It's as sharp as a tack and produces lovely images. A very underrated lens. And I've had some very vaunted expensive lens in my time including the Fuji 16mm f1.4 which is a great lens but one I rarely used (unlike the 27mm which lives on my camera).

[@shahinshokrvandmoghadam3975]

I have xt20, 27m. I feel these moments thank you omar

[@oldgittarist]

Great shots and tips as ever, Omar. Are you usually at -1/3 on your compensation dial? The white balance tip was very helpful too. You've also given me a very welcome distraction from compiling my tax return bro!

[@-grey]

They'll take my British passport for this, but I'm an English teacher so it has to be done. Part of American English is original English. We changed to certain French words after you guys left us. Autumn is is one of them. Fall, faucet, pants all those were once our words and then we moved to Autmn, tap, and trousers afterwards.

[@Teeum5]

Hello, this is very interesting but I don't quite understand as a non native speaker... would you like to explain? Whom do you mean by "We changed..."?

[@simondavis741]

I think you have it the wrong way round. Trousers comes from Gaelic and pants is an abbreviated version of the French ‘pantaloon’. Faucet comes from the French Fausett. So it was the Americans who borrowed the French words not the English. Autumn comes from Latin.. 😉

[@michaelajoseph6856]

Great video as usual! Thank you!

[@lakegeneva4851]

Love the « motowalkaboutphotoshoot » something I do. But.. with an OIS or IBIS équipement for longer rides are you not worried about the shake rattle and roll nano king out the sensor as it floats about?

[@ladygrass4435]

I like this video (that's why i subscribed) 👍. I have fuji xt10 is the Fujinon XF 27mm f2.8 compatible?

[@berkeaydas8089]

Omar hello! I have been following you for a while, and you are really funny and instructive. I really like your videos.Btw I am a fuji user too. Greetings from Turkey.

[@suzannebradbury]

Hmmmm. Po in the uk was a big fat red teletubby? Omar, you’re hilarious. Never change.

[@shivark]

The mannequin facing the other way at 6:06 looked like something else entirely at first glance. And I was like why does Omar have a giant …. ohhhh that’s what that is

[@SamGrimes93]

The reason I came to the comments... Haha, glad I'm not the only one

[@ogonzilla]

You pervs...lol...

[@URSENIORUTUBER55]

Thanks For your insight and tips. I’m now leaving to try them out before the Maryland AUTUMN Leaves FALL. I originally from NY and just wanted to let you know that us NYC folks ( back in the day ) always called it FALL. Thanks again. RustyIronMike

[@RichardBO9]

Cool Video! Love the photos.

[@moonbeamer1994]

damn it omar, you're the best !

[@Ahnii]

Great video☺️ Your "im a professional" comment on the biker photo send me giggling for way to long☺️😅

[@TravelingLensMan]

Hi Omar, can I use this lens for videography or vlogging? Thanks.

[@AlidaXanne]

Thanks for convincing me that I need a 27mm lens for my xt20. I started bike touring last year and really struggled with the 18-55 but I think the 27mm would be perfect.

[@jesperkragh7701]

exact same situation here. I never used to bring my xt20 on motorcycle trips due to bulky 18-55 lens - but have since gotten the 27mm. Thanks to Omar I got the xt20 and now the 27mm :) best channel!

[@nickolasmazzara127]

Love the motorcycle footage!

[@abchappell01]

Except for your motorcycles, you seemed to favor vertical shots for your pictures. Is there any particular reason why?

[@heshamabdulrahman2133]

well hello PO.. nice to meet you here ;)

[@paolo7643]

Have you subscribed? NO! But now yeeessss! Thank you Omar! Nice video

[@paolo7643]

oh I forgot, awesome Monet shot!

[@JacobWV]

found the older version of this lens used...think ima buy it after seeing your vids with it

[@janivauhkonen]

Because 2.8, it was fun

[@mattsolomon8885]

I actually say Autumn because I'm from the UK but Fall is better as it literally describes what happens... leaves falling from the trees etc. I think I would of tried to shut down the shutter and pulled back a little and got both the trees in the reflection and the leaves in focus. It looked like an Escher painting on your video at one point.... nice

[@frankfavale3872]

Nice one Omar. You are killing me with your comments, funny.

[@derpronoob]

I am constantly laughing when I watch your videos. "I'm a professional ..." ;-)

[@nelsonm.5044]

The newer version of this 27mm lens is so popular it is backorder here in Canada, hope to be able to get one before the end on 2021 but I am not sure.

[@jeroenmeijer19]

I am !! We shall see ! 😊

[@crsnydertx]

Omar: I noticed you were using a Rode Wireless Go for your audio. Is that the original or the II? I like that the latter has a built-in recorder providing a safety track. Missing New Jersey fall…er, autumn!

[@kaid3566]

I had this lens for a couple of months recently, and just sold it. I honestly tried to fall in love with it, but sadly, I didn't even get to liking it! (I also had a pancake lens on an old Olympus mirrorless, which was equally non-inspiring.) To me, this is just such a boring lens, and it made me realize that (1) I'm not a fan of the 27mm (40mm equivalent) focal length and (2) f2.8 is just not sufficient for my low-light and bokeh needs. I was using it with an X-E2, which is a small camera, but even with this tiny lens it was too big to be truly "pocketable." For my money, the 35mm f2 is the perfect walkaround lens, plus it's weather-sealed...and it's got an aperture dial! From now on, I'll stick to pancakes for breakfast, and keep them away from my cameras ;)

[@pvasa20]

Could you do a 1.4 16 23 35 bokeh test comparison? Say subject at minumum distance, 10 feet and 20feet with aperture optimized for max buttery bokeh?

[@randysmith6493]

I looked it up, FALL has been used since the 1600's and is in 2 of the 3 most used English dictionaries. I like your your bike, but I might get an enduro type, incase I get another 9.2 earthquake and have to get around. Your riding motion on the video makes me miss the long ago days when my friend and I went on 14,ooo mile camping bike trip around the western states and Canada in the lake 70's (Honda 500 SS), my friend dumped his Kawasaki 300 when he saw the bike I bought and he took it back his brand new bike in trade for a Kawasaki 1000 because his ego was assaulted, Good Times. Always Manipulate your scene. You get good Autumn color on the east end, in Alaska I usually get a dull yellow. Nice spot for shots.
