Omar, I hardly ever react to youtube videos but you sir are one of the funniest, kindest and knowledgeable people around with probably the most important human quality imho: self mockery, just love it. Please keep doing this, it makes me and a whole lot of other people happy. Furthermore, you inspire me to keep practising and having fun with photography. I recently purchased the 23mm f/1.4 and 56mm f/1.2 and I look forward to trying the Acros simulation! P.S. I'll try not to go Bokeh-Ballistic :-)

@gstrummer 3 года назад

agreed. fantastic work.

Interesting to know how you find the 23/56 combo as I’m seriously considering a move to Fuji and going with this pair.

@truejungli8507 Год назад

@@danielmcilroy7089 if it helps I have this very pair - x100f and a 56mm 1.2 and im more than happy - pretty much covers everything for me

@nickyfoulkes8476 5 лет назад

I shoot mainly landscape photography & I often set my Fuji XT-2 to Acros B&W because I find it helps to improve compositional skills as you have no colour. I also have 35mm F2.0 for street at night. Again I shoot in Acros.

@barrycohen311 5 лет назад

I often shoot with two cameras, one with a wide lens and the other with a long lens. This obviously eliminates having to swap lenses constantly, getting dust on your sensor in windy conditions, blowing a shot because you had the wrong lens for the shot, etc.. Weapons of choice for this- My X-T20 and X-T2.

@RandyPollock 5 лет назад

I keep my X-T2 with the 23mm 2.0 in my bag daily, but when you are talking about the best Fuji lens well that has to be the 16mm...or maybe the 90mm..yeah yeah the 90mm...but I don't know the 10-24 for landscapes works well...but really the 16mm 1.4 ...it looks...oh forget it ...this is too hard.

@adrianguggisberg3656 4 года назад

It’s so much easier to shoot just one lens and then look for shots for that lens and the film (or simulation in this case) you loaded. There’s no point to try and take a shot with the lens you have which is not for that lens. Shooting the 16mm means you need to get close and personal. The saying „if your shots are not good enough, you are not close enough“ is particularly true for this lens. The 56 is a completely different animal and requires a completely different approach. I personally don’t have enough talent to use these two lenses side by side for street photography and I believe very, very few photographers do.

@muatao9943 5 лет назад

Great video as always Omar! I don't own the 16mm but I do shoot on the wide end of the kit 16-55 sometimes. I think that little zoom is underated IMO. But that 56!! Oh, love the special richness that it renders in photos. Whatever your shooting. The point you and Moe made about having to sacrifice and get out there is so true. I'm still working on slowing down so I can see more. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

I have to say this is one of your best videos. I learned more from hearing your thought process and seeing your outtakes than I ever have from looking at just final photos. Seeing the “fails” and hearing what you were thinking was EXTREMELY useful. Thank you Omar!

@jradamsjr 3 года назад

I doubt you will ever see this - but for what it is worth: as a "Newbie" still in the first year of discovery of my X-T3 and associated lenses (56mm just arrived today!) I do not have the words to tell you how dang grateful I am to have your inspiring, entertaining, and ultimately informative RU-vid work to follow as I go. This is probably the third time I an watching this but now with a little bit of experience with the 10-24 and literally a few hours with the 56, I am watching this with new eyes and a different perspective. I am a native NYer living in CA and lived in NYC, used to visit brokerage clients in Hoboken and have in-laws who have lived there forever. So it is so nice to see the "grunge" of the city as you put it. I miss it. Loved the commentary on the "poor guy" on garbage detail. Moreover, learned so much from this one, as I do with the others. You should be a teacher Omar, you have a wonderful teaching style because you are enthusiastic, funny, and genuine.

@Gardenerwitanattitude 5 лет назад

Omar, When is the best time to shoot street photography. I’ve notice on some of your other vids that you usually go out early in the morning.

@MrKikoboy 5 лет назад

Focus with your feet! ( and watch out for that bus! ).. Acros and PanX - used to shoot with both - Acros a bit more crunchy for the shadows and PanX what TriX would be without the grain liked them both....( ie PanX more graduated and Acros more contrast - both great depending on what you wanted...)

@totoroutes5389 5 лет назад

For real minimalist gear photography as the tone of your video title suggests, make a vlog with a goPro showing behind the scenes of your wedding photography shoot using a prime lens that is only manual focus and with no photo-assistants. The vlog would be an interesting demonstration of the wedding photo shoot experience in the 1980s before all of today’s gadget luxuries.

@olegasphoto 5 лет назад

I thought that would be "across street" photography. But how would you shoot across the street with only 16mm and 56mm? Than I understood that this is about film profile.

@tuzihan7950 5 лет назад

How about the 14mm 2.8 instead of 16mm?

@diego_perez 5 лет назад

I'll totally try the ACROS simulation from now, luckily I shooted raw on my last trip to Glasgow so I'll experiment with those! great video, I'm thinking about getting a new fuji lens, now I loved the 35 mm f/2 and I'll probably get the 56 mm but depends on my budget the f/N. As always, great video!

@manuelcastrog.9038 4 года назад

Great video as usual, just a small observation, it doesn´t even change anything but around min: 9:00 you mention that due to the lens compression the windows appear inside the arch thingy instead of outside, but it´s a different arch, you can see by the darker patch on the corridor. Great video.

@viagensebabados 3 года назад

I love the 16mm f1.4 for street photography. At f8-11 you have a crazy wide flexible area for zone focusing which makes it much easier to get those fleeting moments without missing focus.

@afisher555 5 лет назад

is that acros red, yellow or green? I am clearly a novice ...thanks you. informative yet entertaining

@JohannesLabusch 5 лет назад

These are emulations of filters (like actual tinted glass filters people used to screw on the front part of their lenses). You can also shoot Acros without any of them, which is what I believe Omar did here. You can think of filters as a way to take certain color frequencies out of the image, thereby "boosting" the color on the opposite end of the spectrum. For instance, a red filter will make the contrast in a cloudy sky stronger, a green filter is good for landscape photography, because it increases the contrast between the green of plants and other, non-green objects (flowers f.i.), a yellow filter is said to improve skin tones, etc. Colors are still around in b&w, they just translate to various gray tones. Experimenting is the best way to find out what you like. A great way to do this is to play with the sliders in Lightroom.

You're a little hard on yourself, Omar. That's a good thing. You have standards. But going out to the Highline with just a 16mm and a 56mm is a challenge. I should try this, as my 16mm is usually my interiors / streaming lens and my 56mm is used for portraits and for objects like headstones.

@deanpettitt121 5 лет назад

I really enjoyed that! Also some of the shots that may not be amazing as standalone photos could work extremely well as editorial shots for stock photography or press/social media IMO. The newspaper and also the sushi place had a great amount of negative space for article headlines etc I would imagine, they'd fit lllllike a glovvvve 😁 Keep on being awesome Omar!

Very nice, how you discribe your work, your sight of situations and correlation. I'm a beginner and very interested in street photographie and also in sale the pictures. So I have a question to the legal side of that work. You showed us the picture with the man who is smoking or the oder walking by with his phone in his hand. In both pictures are the people well recognizable. Now if you want to sell such a picture with a person on it... I don't think you ran after the man, shouting, stop, please sign that contract. Is it possible to use such a picture for business? Sorry, may it isn't that question you expected. By the way, I also like Jim Carrey

If you get high anxiety of shooting people, or the other way around, us the 50-230 :P. Also makes more sense when using the high ISO.

Hi Omar, great video!!!! What about filtered b&w? Especially when I can't decide between bw and color, filtering (like Acros+Y/G/R... or channel mixer in LR) can really help "popping out colors in blank and white" ;-) BTW: how do you choose beetween X-T20 or X-T2 when you go out?

@errymoestafa3124 5 лет назад

Great video! Do you know a b/w setting that has a similar look to Acros? I have an XT1 and it doesn't have the Acros simulation. Unfortunately.

@zach.hanford 5 лет назад

You could probably use the standard BW profile with highlights set to -1. In my opinion, one of the characteristics of acros is that it hangs out more in the midtones than it does the highlights or shadows. Save the highlights and then expose for them and your histogram should be mostly midtones. The big thing that you can't replicate is the grain profile. The in camera grain of acros can't even be replicated on the computer. It's ISO dependent and affects highlights/midtones/shadows differently.

Just goes to show how different photographers will approach a project.

Hey Omar, have you seen the Garry Winogrand show at the Brooklyn Museum? It's fantastic, you really should check it out if you get a chance (open until early December). Good point about avoiding "Street Photography" shots that are just a photo of an empty street-on the other hand, I was just looking at some Daido Moriyama shots where I was amazed how good he could make an empty street look. Like any rule, I guess there's times to break it!
