Thanks for the memories. I grew up on the New York (Washington Heights) side of the bridge. I saw them finish the lower lever (Martha Washington).around 1964. Imagine waking up, look out your bedroom window and there was the bridge. Bridge motor traffic was a bit noisy, but you don't hear it after a while. As a teenager, some of the first pictures I ever shot, (35mm film) were of the New York side of this bridge. Tolls for cars were $.50 I know that has changed now. Again, thanks for the memories.
Loved todays show & topic. For some reason it gave me a flashback. In high school we made a film camera out of a small box. A pin hole was the lens. With film. Then we all shot our version of a scene with our own little custom box camera. Your likely too young to have experience it in school. Fun experiment. Anyway, thanks for giving me that random memory flashback. I adore your show & appreciate your time...Cheers from Canada.
You're a cool dad Omar! Loved the video as usual. I mean your whole chanel is a story and even if I know or am familiar with the techniques you present, i still watch each video everytime you post, just for the storytelling-like presentation, jokes and general warm vibe you give through your videos! Best wishes from Romania!
Super fun and helpful! As a new photographer it's great to hear your thought process. Lots of new ways to think about composition. Keeps me from getting stuck in ruts.
Interesting and excellent, Omar - Thank you for the different perspectives. Also it was good to see your son taking an interest and hanging with you! Hope to see some of his work in the near future.
I like your "photo dissection" and thought processes while doing it. Your son's photos were quite good. I especially liked the view through the "bush". Composition is hard! Thanks for letting us in your head for awhile.
Loved and recognized the feeling of working a scene, dominated by the feeling that it's not really doing anything great or better than the tourist shot... and then with work, finding some great shot. It's too easy to let the early discouragement make you stop before the good shots come.
Great video and amazing photos. Thank you for posting this video and sharing your thought process, it really helps me better understand how to "see" like a photographer. Your sense of humor and demeanor make photography accessible for anyone with an interest. Thank you for that.
Sowing the photography seeds into the youngun. 🙂👍 and learning skills from dad He will be wanting more of that im sure. Quality time... and quality photos. Im a big fan of wide images displayed on my big TV I really loved that super wide crop you did. Very nice indeed 👌
Your Videos are so much fun to watch! Especially your thougts on composition areally inspiring. As a "part time pro" it's just a perfect balance between training and fun to me.
This was an awesome video Omar. Your thought process and ability to evaluate your own work is so impressive and the way you can communicate and teach the concepts are top notch! I loved the zoomed in abstracted photos, and as a dad with little kids, I dream of the day when I can take my kids on photo adventures too. I hope you got the chance to have a great father-son breakfast after the early morning photo session.
Hey Omar. If I may be so bold as to suggest a video idea. I recently digitally archived old prints of family photos (over 6000). I noticed an issue with non-photographers documenting memories. There was a tendency to overshoot likely caused by remembering to get the camera out that day. I thought a solution to this would be a simple "shot list" to cover the basics in documenting the memory. This approach when used by an amateur photographer could create a concise approach to documenting the family event while avoiding endless snapshot. The list could be something like a wide shot of where the event took place, some documentary shots of who was there, the beginning and end of the event ect... I am thinking of a list of standard photos that would cover the bases to recreate the memory of the day. (Something on the order of 5-20 photos) instead of the non-photographer approach of 100 snap shots on a single day taking place a few times a year. When using a shot list approach consistently this would create a better time line of history (more family events covered with less photos). Would love to see your thoughts on this in a video.
Hello Omar, Really looks how I am working the scene. 😁. So recognizable. A bit off topic. I wondered why you choose to go with the Nikon Z system instead of say a Fuji GFX. I find myself doubting after buying the Nikon Z fc if I should sell my Fujfilms (XT3, XT1) and go full on Nikon Z or try to buy myself in the GFX. Id like a camera that has a bigger sensor for portraits and landscapes and keep an apsc camera for just walks with the camera for casual photography.
have u ever shot the bridge from under it by the water? on the Jersey side there is a walking path there you can use to get some shots, i've done that before and it looks incredible!!
So, yeah Omar, you should’ve shoot a bit less wi….hahahahha. Just kidding man. Great photos. Nice outing with your heir (he seemed happy😁) I hope you guys had a great time (for everyone else, that’s what matters the most when getting out with the camera). Beautiful scene to work on. Maybe you should do…😂…ok I’ll stop😂. Be safe, man.
Ah yes. Get taller. Miracle grow here I come lol. But really, I love this! Play with the different focal lengths and move around the area. Different comps all day!
I forget that so many people are rude in the comments, that it always catches me off guard when anyone mentions it. Talking about missed shots is very irksome. Hindsight is 20/20.
I love that you show the pictures you don´t love as well. Makes it all more authentic 🙂

Your videos just keep getting better and better. Great content and great production quality.
Great video Omar! The shot your son took through the bush really stood out to me. Loved your shots with the 300mm too. Keep doing what you do.
"Start your own channel" .. that's the best. Great video once again. Thank you.

Fantastic video, loved hearing and seeing your thought process. Absolutely loved the closeup images.
Love the “Start your own channel” comment, Omar.
Those photos your son took are really great!
Last few pictures were especially great! A very enjoyable video ;D
Great video Omar, love all the teaching!
Good video and good photos too! You've remided me that I should probably use my 300mm for landscape photos more often.
These close up shots of the bridge 🧡💚💙
Thanks for sharing Mr Omar, you're always inspiring!
Excellent images. I like the bridge close-up image at 11:30.
Your comment wasn't rude! And you should not be sorry! Loved your son's 85mm shot! Nice job.
I love your shots !!! Very colorful
Such a great video. I learned so much from this. Keep up the great work Omar!!
Super fun and helpful! As a new photographer it's great to hear your thought process. Lots of new ways to think about composition. Keeps me from getting stuck in ruts.
Great video! IMHO the 300 mm shots are most interesting. New perspectives and ”cleaner” than the usual wide angle shots.
Interesting and excellent, Omar - Thank you for the different perspectives. Also it was good to see your son taking an interest and hanging with you! Hope to see some of his work in the near future.
Great photos! I like when you include your son’s photos too.

Great shots and very instructive. Thank you for another awesome video. Can't wait to get to that spot in May.
I really like the shot of the overlapping main cables at 11:15!
Me encantó la foto del minuto 11:16 y las abstracciones del puente. Buen trabajo de auto crítica y composición.
Thank you Omar, like always
Love that! You bring a lot of fun back into photography. Inspiring.
The kid's photos were actually really good!
Great video and amazing photos. Thank you for posting this video and sharing your thought process, it really helps me better understand how to "see" like a photographer. Your sense of humor and demeanor make photography accessible for anyone with an interest. Thank you for that.
some really nice steel shots in there where the box beam structure faces on the right side were lit...
I'm still at the beginning of the video, but I just wanted to say "beautiful photos!"
Sowing the photography seeds into the youngun. 🙂👍 and learning skills from dad He will be wanting more of that im sure. Quality time... and quality photos. Im a big fan of wide images displayed on my big TV I really loved that super wide crop you did. Very nice indeed 👌

Loved the bridge structural details in the orange light. Nicely done.
Awesome! Thanks Omar!
Very cool video. Inspiring!
Your son also did justice with the xt2. Cool shots
Lol. "Was that rude?" No, it was based. Lovely sunrise. Pleased to see your boy is still interested in photography.
Man your a good inspiration .. discovered you today and am on a marathon i think am in the 3rd hour watching your content.😎
Don't over-do it man. Thanks for for subscribing!!
Great stuff! I love your photos.
Great shots!
Amazing what colors nature will give us (in the sky) if we get up early enough for it.

would you recomend the 300 pf paring with Z? best regards
have u ever shot the bridge from under it by the water? on the Jersey side there is a walking path there you can use to get some shots, i've done that before and it looks incredible!!
Did you get any shots of Richard Feder while in Fort Lee?
Your son did a great job with the xt-2.
Please tell me you went somewhere iconic for breakfast like Katz's Deli or something !! Oh yeah ...nice vid ...
Like you videos. Thanks for sharing!!
Fabulous! 5+
😲 time to retire Omar, your son's 56mm shot was 🔥🔥
So, yeah Omar, you should’ve shoot a bit less wi….hahahahha. Just kidding man. Great photos. Nice outing with your heir (he seemed happy😁) I hope you guys had a great time (for everyone else, that’s what matters the most when getting out with the camera). Beautiful scene to work on. Maybe you should do…😂…ok I’ll stop😂. Be safe, man.
Your son has a good eye.
Rarely does anyone agree to go with me before the sun rises either.
Not rude at all.
Good perspectives.
The one at 12:30 is great!
thumbs up, I am so close to being on the Nikon hook PEACE
Amazing Omar but, hey where did all the bears go?
Great video with lots of explanations to reduce the mistakes that others, "me", could make. Thank you. Cheers.
(Great one Brother!)
The best one: 11:55
Ah yes. Get taller. Miracle grow here I come lol. But really, I love this! Play with the different focal lengths and move around the area. Different comps all day!
Wow the bridge looks just like him 😂
Thanks for talking through your thought process. Take your son out more and let’s see what he shoots.
Your son has caught the shutter bug.
You should totally walk up to the top of the bridge next time 😳. We can start a Gofundme now for your bail 😂
Interesting
I forget that so many people are rude in the comments, that it always catches me off guard when anyone mentions it.
Talking about missed shots is very irksome. Hindsight is 20/20.
I liked your son's photo that popped
I love you :3
I wish my dad was as bald and sexy as Omar and gave me camera and asked me to go on adventure and take photos.
Start your own channel 🤣🤣
So many missed shots!! ...lolol...JK!!
his pictures were better than yours! ;-)
