Dang, I’m 14 seconds in. Love that you get straight the point, no messing around. You read the title now here is the content.

“Understand the game you wanna play” was so enlightening. The issue i’ve had is that i cant find myself aligning well with the algorithm demands and i try to do it but it definitely comes across half assed and has become demotivating

Loved that you got straight into your talking points right from 0:01. Great video, even better shots!

Very practical video, Adrian, and sprinkling in a few life lessons like taking care of your health were good reminders as well!

Have been following for a while, love the content! Keep snapping 📸

Thank you for this video, I found the information very useful and reassuring

I just love and be truly grateful for you advice, thank you.😊

Love the insight. Thank you for your invaluable information.. When is your workshop? 😁

Switch off the LCD screen. I never look at my photos until a few days later

Less chimping is such a good one and i´m glad i see this video since i've started photography yesterday with my Sony ZV-E10. Now that you mentioned I caught my self doing this a lot after taking a few shots. As you said, constantly peeking doesn't encourage you at all. Enjoying the moment of shooting does!

As always, thanks for the tips Adrien! Looking forward for more from you.

Thank you for your video. From south Korea

Got the chimps part out my system 😅I don't do it as I realize it's the downside and also shooting vertical isn't my fav I rather shoot horizontally but vertical may be for a portrait or use as a tool to compose a scene...how's the journey to the 50mm I saw your last vid and yes it's one of my favs next to the 35mm focal length

Chimping I use only in manual mode ( I have no minimum shutter speed on my camera ) , with a speed fixed eg 1/125 you will not realise you blow your photos at f2.8 and Iso 100 in full sunny day ( eg you came just out of a church ) or the inverse entering the church at f8.0 and iso 6400 and you are still 2 stops darker.

I have a blurry shot of a Toyota Supra speeding through the streets of Kanazawa which serves as a reminder to me not to chimp. While checking to see if I got a sharp panning shot of it (I didn't), I completely missed the 5-6 other Supras that were right behind it.

とても有意義な動画でした。

Thanks for bringing my attention to chimping.. I wasn't aware there was a word for that.. that gets me sometimes

You 've got a new subscriber for the "you became so good you don't appeal to social media audience", many people demotivate because they dont realize how true this is 👍

The chopstick makes its return!

..you should apply to magnum! ;-)

Some really good points here, thanks for making this video.

Honestly this is a great video that I will note to come back to from time to time to readjust

I am going to take the other side of the argument here and won't let anyone shame my chimping. Let's start with the obnoxiously condescending term "chimping": If you do this, you are just like a stupid little monkey. Great method to teach someone. How about a more neutral term like "review check"? Because that's what it really is for me. Whenever I send out an email, I proofread after writing because this is the last time I can make any change. Same for taking photos, I may never visit this location again, or see it in this beautiful light or setting, so I want to make sure that I got the shot right, rather than being upset later in Lightroom when I realize it was messed up for some reason. Looking at the preview on the screen doesn't make me emotional in any way, we all know that not every shot can turn out great, but at least I want to make sure I didn't miss a good opportunity. I see this "Do not chimp" rule more of a gatekeeping thing by pro photographers who have so much experience that they can confidently take a good shot without the need to check every time. Good for you guys, but there's no need to shame those of us who are just hobbyists as silly "chimps".

Pretty generic information. “Shooting an 85 wide open won’t make you a better photographer” has been restated a million times. Try telling the beginner alternatives if they want to shoot 85mm, how to compose for street, how to take advantage of the compression, etc. Simply saying “try shooting with a sub 40mm on F8” is barely useful information. Overall, just feels like a very low effort youtube video that won’t be appreciated by anyone but a small subset of your subscribers. I recommend you take your own advice, study the great KZfaq teachers like Simone D’entremont, and make highly intentional videos that are truly insightful. This kind of video is the equivalent of the wide open 85mm photo I see everyone take.

Definitely need to work on a few of these myself! Sent you an Instagram dm; let me know if you want to meet up 👍🏻
