Just discovered your channel. 100% aligned with your philosophy + you do have a voice of a pirate radio broadcaster in the 80's. For all these reasons, I suscribe.
I think it’s so great you remind us to forget about the fluff. Focus on the fundamentals. Too much fluff and “gear pushing” on most channels. Appreciate your work
I also just ride the aperture ring and the exposure comp dial. The only thing that I do different is that I bracket my film sims, Velvia+Eterna+Acros. My goal is to have the jpegs go from camera to phone via the app and never ever touch the raws (although I still shoot in jpeg+raw because, ultimately I'm still a chicken). One thing I had to learn going from a bad few years with a DSLR is that photography isn't a game of trying to center the metering indicator. Luckily with mirrorless you're literally looking at the exposure (rather than guessing like on a DSLR). So I don't even think about the concept of "overexposed" or "underexposed" anymore, rather just "is this the exposure that I wanted?" and thus the meter itself becomes irrelevant.
How do you get your B&W photos to look like 4:53? They’re not fully B&W there’s an air of old nostalgic color to them, I’d love to give it a try, is it tone curve?
100% agree with F5.6 shots. Bokeh is not for me. I want to see it all, the bokeh hype is just for portraits and to me is cheap and boring. To each their own but I'm glad i've moved on from the bokeh addiction.
We need a new video going over your current editing process…😊
This video was a breath of fresh air and a huge wake up call for all of us to actually just go out and shoot without worrying about the small things!
Thanks for the vids Sam! Always motivated to go out and take photos after!
Thank you Sam, I appreciate your advice, it always takes me a little further 🤟🏻
Thank you..great information. As always!!
Thank you for making this - great video!
Loving the Fuji content. More road trip vids ✌️

Great video Sam. Have your settings changed much since this video? Just trying to find a good setup for documenting my life
Hey Samuel, thanks for the vid! What grip are you using on the X-T5?
Every time I see that silver fuji x-t5 in your videos I regret getting the black one😅
I really like the warm color vibe in your video! Could you share how you achieved it? Do you use Flog or do you use a film sim + other adjustments? 😊
This is mainly shot on my canon r5 actually in clog 3. Def want to eventually pickup the xh2s though for filmmaking
Fuji didn’t give you a X100vI to test?
Unfortunately not lol

What are your sharpness and color settings when shooting film simulations?
👍
I shoot with the xt-5 as well. Idk if I’m just lucky but my film simulation is loaded on my raw photos when I import them to Lightroom
You can set LRC to import RAW or RAW with camera profiles
Great! but Sam, hard to judge when video is edited as well...
Do you primarily use auto white balance?
I usually use kelvin honestly. Almost never awb
