Yes, I concur, the focus does shift..... It was interesting to see how differently I had to edit them in order to evoke the same feeling....

Yes, I mostly shoot from the hip or chest high usually using the flip screen on the camera so I can still frame the shot. Some shots were taken without looking though, the low angle shots with the camera held in my hand by my side below the waist.

Hey Phillip, thank you. Yes, I agree, I have a X100f but carry the X70 all the time for the weight and also the flip screen which has single-handedly enabled me to capture the photos in the slideshow. It's essential to me...

Hey! Great! Thanks a lot man!

Hey @FlashesOfTime, thanks a lot.

Hey Phillip, thanks a lot. Yes, this camera got me back into photography. I use to shoot slide and didn't like the images I was getting with digits until this I got this camera. There's something magical about the images...

Haha...ya!

Hey @michaeldavedizon6695, thank you very much. No I haven't tried it with the TCL-X100. Have you? How did you find it? Cheers!

@@kienlimx Ah okay! I was hoping you did, just to get some intel whether it would work or not. I will experiment and let you know ;)

Cool! Look forward to your feedback.@@michaeldavedizon

Hahaha... ya, macabre, but compelling.... Ya, I just "cheat" these days and try to get where I want in editing as fast as I can....

Hey sis! Thanks! Yes, I just about remember the wooden house too. And especially the stormy sea with the fishing boats. Was sometime in the evening coz was dark. This is possibly the place too where I first heard "Wooden Heart" by Elvis... xxx

@@kienlimx bro! Yes! "Wooden Heart".... I remember you loving that song! 💖

@@veronicasclim hahaha.... ya! xxx

The one that got away... Thanks very much. Might very well do a color episode. Thanks for the suggestion...

Hey! Thanks a lot!

Hey sis, xxx, thanks a lot. It's in Gurney Drive, across the open-air food court! Yes, where we used to walk to from Gottlieb Garden.....

Thank you very much! Yes, it forces me to shoot and make the best of every situation.... give it at go, set your alarm for 5 minutes... Let me know how it went :)

Hehehehe...

Yes, it is.... next episode is Chew jetty :)

Hey @hugomartinsphoto, thank you very much!

@@kienlimx My pleasure!

Thanks a lot, Dorothy. It's Truc Bach Lake

I still shoot RAW but use Capture One's curves options to cut down time editing.... Most of the photos in this episode was with the "Film High Contrast" curve as a base.... I did shoot jpegs and raw as an experiment but still liked the latitude I had with raw and to shoot both all the time meant more time looking at both and took up more storage space.... Happy New Year! Good to hear from you again!

Thank you , sis xxx

Hey @marioreyes, thank you very much. Yes, I concur, the X70 with all its idiosyncrasies is still a camera I have with me most of the time. I've learnt to work with it, it is light, compact, and I love the images that come out from it. Glad you were able to find one. They are thin on the ground! Happy shooting!

Hey, thank you very much :)

Thanks a lot sis xxx

True! Pressure is on and makes me realise what kind of preparation/practise I can do beforehand. I don't recce the area before shooting but I can certainly train myself to see from different perspectives which is what I realise I would like to do to get variations in shots....

Hey! Thanks a lot! Haha... yes, I have to be vigilant... funnily enough, although it's super busy in Hanoi, the drivers are wary and tolerant and expect anything... as I have to when I drive....

Thanks matey!

Hey TC, I haven't seen any for sale here in Hanoi.... I bought mine in Malaysia and seems there are some for sale there...

Hey TC, thanks very much. I bought mine in Malaysia... secondhand from a shop....

Thanks sis xxx

And thanks a lot for becoming a patreon patron… :)

@@kienlimx 🥰

Hey! Thanks, dude! I'll do some more alleyway challenges for you! There are more than loads here in Hanoi and all have a story...!

I don't have the X100t but the X100f. I love them both. The sensor on the X70 is amazing so I'm assuming the 100f's images will look great too! I don't use the tilt screen very much and I love the X100f's EVF. In bright sunlight the X70's viewfinder is not bright enough for me to see properly and a drawback as I have to almost shoot blindly. With the X100f I just put my eye to the EVF. I love both the 18.5mm and 23mm lens perspectives and they are different but I can shoot with either happily... I can't say which camera is the better choice as they are both different and great in their own way.... After having said that, I take the X70 out more often because of size and weight :) Hope what I shared helps.... All the best!

Hello, I thought it was a JJC but after researching I think it might be this one.... www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Camera-Hot-Shoe-Thumb-Grip/dp/B096TRY19Z?th=1 I must add that when I use it it interferes with the flip-up screen and stops it from flipping up! But I don't use the flip up screen much so I'm ok with it on... :)

@@kienlimx thanks!!

@@chaiwatriratanaphong755 Welcome!

Hi Ari Sultanik, thank you very much :) Yes, the film simulation I use is Velvia. I import the raw files into Capture One and convert it into black and white. Then edit further from there....

@@kienlimx Thanks.

@@arisultanik Welcome :)

Yes, for sure. I am home and at peace...

Nice one! I was quite a bit older when I first went to Langkawi. There were zinc roofed stalls at the jetty. I stayed in a place called "The Last Resort" because it was the last "resort" in that stretch of "resorts" which were really charming wooden chalets.... I rented a motorbike for RM10 a day and rode all around Langkawi...

Very nice. Looks like a fantastic location. The blue skies with the clouds just after rain, makes great combination.

Thank you matey!

Haha... I guess it does make sense that it makes it more manoeuvrable....

Certainly does...!

:)

Yes, it's a real Kampung house. It's has a lovely compound too... I stayed in 2 others there as well that had outdoor baths.... :)

... knowing the time adds to the drama... hahaha... ya, the alarm does do it's job... Ok, next time will do a selfie... how rad!!! Cheers mate!

Haha... the idea was to keep the phone close to hand so that I could check the time and I got used to holding it.... but ya, next vid I'll remember to tuck it in my pocket! Cheers!

Yes, this is in Tu Hoa, sort of a peninsula in West Lake.... Ya, thinking muddles the moment...! Hehehe...!

Interesting... :)

Hey, you are most welcome! Yes, with the X70 I'm am sometimes shooting blind! I didn't use to use the viewfinder on the X100f but now love it! Yes, makes it all a lot easier when one can see what one is shooting :) Yes, 12mm sounds interesting. I haven't used anything as wide yet. Widest so far is 24mm full frame for my Nikon... and I haven't used it enough to get a feel for it... but you've inspired me to use it more now.. hahaha... thanks! Thanks very much! It really is a challenge even in the city.. Would love to see yours :)

Hello Kiwi In Kyushu, yes, I use a GoPro 7 to record myself and I stick it in my shirt...!!! hahaha..! Ok, yes, I will make the comparisons video and inform you when it's up. Thanks very much :)
