I use the Google Pixel 8 Pro in the Rainforest.

What happens when you need a break from lugging around your heavy photography gear and just want to play? Why not use your phone! I decided to walk around my Costa Rican Eco Lodge's trails and look for interesting screensavers. It was so much fun!!

Enjoy!

Note: I'm currently part of "Team Pixel." It's a program where Google throws phones out to random creators they like in the hopes they create videos showcasing the Pixel. I like to showcase the Pixel camera because it's genuinely great for a phone camera. On team pixel, there are no contracts, no demands, and I am not paid....Just with a free phone....that's really good...

I guess that was one of the best videos about Google pixel and shooting on Pixel. English is not my native language, so it's hard for me to choose the right words, but I really enjoyed the time while watching that video. Thanks!

Still loving your content all these years. Glad you are still helping us.

I actually sold my X-T20 (which I learnt a lot with Omar) and bought a Pixel 8 Pro.
95% of my photography was Pixel 6 only... Had to force myself to use the Fuji. Not practical when you have 3 kids.
And then always had to edit photos on my computer which made it even more unappealing.
I'm not a professional so I don't miss the Fuji that much (still miss it sometimes)

This was educational and fun to watch! I wanted it to last another 20min 😀 — great job Omar!

Great video! It doesn't seem to be big, but in fact it contains a huge amount of information for those who like to shoot on a smartphone! I wish there were more videos like this!
