Another great vid mate! love your energy and happiness! Marathons are incredible events! ive been to watch the london event a few times! you could cry watching the passion support and love people share with the runners and each other! seriously heart warming stuff!! glad you enjoyed the Fujifilm XH1 mate! i ADORE mine! sports are easy with that baby!! Be safe mate! :-) Ga
J. This is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen you do. Great job mate! I felt the energy and the passion of the runners as it came through your video. Love the camera and the awesome Fuji colors.
Cheers! I’m gonna be shooting the London Marathon again tomorrow, so hoping to take a few ideas and inspiration following this video, to hopefully convey more of the emotion from watching a marathon
Great work Joe, the images are awesome. I like how calmly and rationally you go about your shooting. I've just bought the 16-55 f2.8, waiting for the body. I think I definitely made the right decision with the X-H1. Have a great day!
I can attest that the 16-55mm 2.8 is an incredible lens. We've shot a wedding with it recently and it was the most used lens, perfect focal length and great sharpness and colour. Matched with the IBIS with the XH-1 you are going to love it
James C.H Lim Thanks for your response James, I am now even more happy with my purchase. I plan to shoot weddings with this lens so it’s great to hear that you have such a good experience with it. It’s also great that Fuji will solve all those minor firmware issues with an upcoming update.
Thanks for your thoughts! I personally came close to getting the 16-55mm. But I've been having this desire to shoot almost exclusively with prime lenses for quite a while now. I find the limitations to be a great experience in improving my photography, plus the lenses are much smaller and more discreet. It was a difficult decision though, because obviously the 16-55 covers the range I want with primes, but at a sacrifice of size and weight. Only time will tell if I made the right choice...
Man, this makes me homesick. I have been away for three years for work, and rn I’m struggling to remember why.. I’m liking the X-H1. It really has colours for events like this. Very saturated, and with high contrast. It looks like professional news or television in its aesthetic.
Photos seemed to be really good! didnt expect anything else from you tho. awesome video. This stuff provides me with so much motivation! Keep it up with the content joe. cant wait to see whats next! #fujiboys
Bir-hakeim Bridge - amazing bridge to shoot and to shoot from(and also you can see the bridge in many other videos/movies). Also the woman which was cheering was there already in the beginning... Really sad that I missed to see you there...
great video Joe, on your recommendation I bought a new X100F today (in silver), got a bit of a learning curve as I've pretty much always shot with Canon dslr
Fantastic! I really hope you enjoy it as much as I do! It must be known though, the X100F can be a bit of a gateway camera to others in the ecosystem 😏
Great vid ! Are those pics Classic Chrome JPGs or edited RAWs ?? They are stunning ! Could you make a video about night photography please ? I'm really starting to consider this camera as my next. I'm already in love with my fuji x100f, but ready to sell it if the xh1 is worth it
Thanks! I didn’t use warp stabiliser actually. That’s the downside to in-built stabilisation. It shows a bit of plane-shifting when there’s extreme movement. For a vlog, I think it’s tolerable and I don’t worry too much about it, even if I do notice it myself.
I would like to ask. Im 17 yrs old and im a photography enthusiast based in belgium antwerp. And im wondering if its still worth it to buy fuji XT-1 in 2019 and pair it with 18-55 lens?? • I have a small budget that’s the reason why😄. • Thank you in advance if anyone reply :)
Great video man. Love my X-H1 even if not perfect, like any other cameras. I think we have similar interest judging by our respective UA-cam channels. Cheers mate and bon séjour à Paris! ;-)
Don't know what you are doing. But I think you really need to research the Canon 10-18mm STM wide angle zoom. Pretty sharp and very light. That lens with a 70D without a battery grip would be very light weight.
Hi, Is A7iii is better then Fuji colour ? I'm struggling to pick Fuji or Sony I shoot more in landscape , urban style(instagram) and little travel video please give some suggestion !=D
Marcus Loo The topic regarding who has better colour is very subjective. Some people with say Sony and others will say Fuji. I've read a lot of forums comparing the two brands and I can honestly tell you that the majority of people say that Fujifilm produces the most accurate colours.
I've had extensive experience with the Sony A7R II and multiple Fujifilm cameras. The one thing I will always mention with the Sony is how inconsistent the colours can be. Sometimes things can just be extremely difficult to get looking right, particularly skin tones, when it comes to post-processing. It's especially noticeable when shooting video, which has less colour control as it's not raw video. It's one of the reasons I personally chose the Fujifilm route, but it's down to everyone's own preference and experience.
Regarding overheating. I use my xpro2 to shoot sport events where I basically just machine gun the entire time. The camera never overheats. Running into the end of the buffer is a bigger concern than overheating
That’s great to hear! Sometimes my experience with cameras is somewhat tainted by my experience with my Sony A7R II… glad it’s been working out for you and happy it’s done well for me so far too!
What do you guys do with all the extra shots you don’t post on social media or edit? Do you delete them? I’m guessing it’s got to be hard if 80%+ of the shots you take in burst are epic
Aaron Moiche sadly they get purged. It’s not uncommon for me to shoot 3000+ frames in a day and keep 250 of them. With 20 of those being “epic” shots used for race or event promos for the next year.
Michael K wow that’s amazing, it must be quite a task to choose the right ones when many will be similar. Does it affect how you shoot in other circumstances? Like with sports events or the like as there is a lot going on burst mode works well, but for example with random outings that are less hectic do you try to take less photos and worry more about the composition of each individual one as you would if you shot film or no?
So strange to hear how Fuji af has been criticized over the last 5 years and then see how xh1 was more than capable to deal with fast paced subjects 5 years ago. If you made conclusions about xh1 from nowadays perspective one would conclude that this camera is not capable to focus at all 😢
To be honest, I somewhat agree with you. I don’t think I got anything special here either. But when I’d gone to the effort of attending and filming this vlog, I thought it was still worth me sharing to help inspire others to go out and shoot. The other aspect is that by continuing to go to these events, over time I will eventually find the shots that work best through continued practice.
hey ... thanks for the reply 👍🏻✌🏻... and I know it's also always a matter of taste 😉 and those events seem to be easy but actually are not ... I did shoot quite a few "running event videos" back in the days when I started my own thing and it always was quite a challenge to finde a nice & unique angle/shot ... but with a bit of practice and a open mind there always is a way 😉🤘🏻
oh and also a part of the official crew on those events I was able to get closer and on the track itself and such ... that also helps getting other/different shots of course ... anyways thanks for making videos about gear and the process and so on ... #KeepOnRocking 😎✌🏻
Inception? Jesus, you kids... Joe, that's from the famous opening sequence from Last Tango in Paris (which is likely why Nolan used it for Inception). Check it out
Haha! From what I gather, it’s been used in many films. Inception just happened to come to mind first, probably due to the emphasis on the symmetry of the bridge, which is something I’m always keeping an eye out for.
The quality on that lens though, so nice! The shots of the lady with the flags made me really happy :)
Yeah, I'm so glad I picked it up in time for the marathon! I honestly could have cried when stood watching her. The energy she had was amazing!
Another great vid mate! love your energy and happiness! Marathons are incredible events! ive been to watch the london event a few times! you could cry watching the passion support and love people share with the runners and each other! seriously heart warming stuff!! glad you enjoyed the Fujifilm XH1 mate! i ADORE mine! sports are easy with that baby!!

What a stunner of a lens that is. Fuji glass is something special. Great shots!
Yeah, I'm a big fan of it! I don't think enough people realise just how good the Fujinon lenses are!
J. This is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen you do. Great job mate! I felt the energy and the passion of the runners as it came through your video. Love the camera and the awesome Fuji colors.

Great video, Joe. lovely shot of marathon of Paris. I love sports and I play, running sports Thank! Joe.

The emotions you captured during those water hose shots were amazing, some of your best street photography to date! Loved the video.
YES! More sports photography!
Love your work Joe! Looking forward to every release on your channel. Travelling to NZ right now, inspired by your vlogs from the south island :)
So cool you travel and get to see those events!!!! 🤘👍🙌
Lovely shots of the marathon!! X-H1 + the 50-140mm seems to be a really great combo!!
Yeah it works really well in both performance and ergonomics!
Im buying new camera puerly for travel photography (no vlogs,no videos)
What will you recommend between Fuji HX1,Fuji XT-3 & Sony Alfa a7 iii
Really admire your work ethic man. #respect
I watch every video you post as long as it’s on Fuji cameras.
Man, this makes me homesick. I have been away for three years for work, and rn I’m struggling to remember why..
I’m liking the X-H1. It really has colours for events like this. Very saturated, and with high contrast.
It looks like professional news or television in its aesthetic.
I'm loving this camera more and more, thanks for sharing man!
another great video keep them coming.
Great video!
Which lens you used for this marathon?
Pics quality looks amazing
Photos seemed to be really good! didnt expect anything else from you tho. awesome video. This stuff provides me with so much motivation! Keep it up with the content joe. cant wait to see whats next! #fujiboys
Very good video, I love the way how you explained your thought
Great video! Enjoyed it quite a bit.
Bir-hakeim Bridge - amazing bridge to shoot and to shoot from(and also you can see the bridge in many other videos/movies). Also the woman which was cheering was there already in the beginning... Really sad that I missed to see you there...
Hi Joe greetings from Guatemala, love your vlogs. Question it is really necessary the battery grip for the XH-1 for sports ?
Hey Jo. Great video! Did you say you used the tracking autofocus mode for this event?
great video Joe, on your recommendation I bought a new X100F today (in silver), got a bit of a learning curve as I've pretty much always shot with Canon dslr
Fantastic! I really hope you enjoy it as much as I do! It must be known though, the X100F can be a bit of a gateway camera to others in the ecosystem 😏
Beautiful video then Your camera xh-1 is amazing seriously 14Fps of course with the grip but it’s mental.
Great vid ! Are those pics Classic Chrome JPGs or edited RAWs ?? They are stunning ! Could you make a video about night photography please ? I'm really starting to consider this camera as my next. I'm already in love with my fuji x100f, but ready to sell it if the xh1 is worth it
Great videos, keep it up. Did you use warp stabilizer on your walking shots? Because there was a bit of warping for sure.
Thanks! I didn’t use warp stabiliser actually. That’s the downside to in-built stabilisation. It shows a bit of plane-shifting when there’s extreme movement. For a vlog, I think it’s tolerable and I don’t worry too much about it, even if I do notice it myself.
Have you experienced any factory reset's or system halts with H1? HONESTLY, please!
Great video joe!
Seriously considering going from my 5D2 and L glass to Fuji... is it worth it?
Hi may I know which camera you're using in this video?
Love your Channel.
I would like to ask. Im 17 yrs old and im a photography enthusiast based in belgium antwerp. And im wondering if its still worth it to buy fuji XT-1 in 2019 and pair it with 18-55 lens??
•
I have a small budget that’s the reason why😄.

Thank you in advance if anyone reply :)
Another great video! 👍
you were literally 5 minutes away from my school OMG !! Great shot btw (as always)
Allez Paris! Nice vid Joe!
First great job! second watching you use your the fuji cameras makes me wanna switch!
Great video man. Love my X-H1 even if not perfect, like any other cameras. I think we have similar interest judging by our respective UA-cam channels. Cheers mate and bon séjour à Paris! ;-)
It's kinda wired to pay off 2000$ for a "pro" graded piece of hardware and ... oops, it's not perfect.
nikon D500 user, im very tempted, great vlog
great video bro, are you planning to visit portugal soon?
What lens do you recommend or use for ordinary street photography?
I have heard good things about the 23mm f/2 for street photography.
will you be reviewing and fuji lenses?
Do think it is worth it to get canon L series lenses like 16-35 f4 on crop body sensor like 70d ? Or issit better getting 18-35 1.8 sigma ?
F1.8 is so juicy, unless you need 25mm equivalent dude then 18-35 will suit you better
Don't know what you are doing. But I think you really need to research the Canon 10-18mm STM wide angle zoom. Pretty sharp and very light. That lens with a 70D without a battery grip would be very light weight.
Best so many didn’t know the double tap and hold for zoom.
I use it _all_ the time! Sometimes I spot people sat next to me on the train who notice what I did, then work it out for themselves haha
What were your AF settings in camera ?
Hi, Is A7iii is better then Fuji colour ?
I'm struggling to pick Fuji or Sony
I shoot more in landscape , urban style(instagram) and little travel video please give some suggestion !=D

Disappointed that you didn't record this video with the X-H1...
XT2 gets warm but never overheats
So strange to hear how Fuji af has been criticized over the last 5 years and then see how xh1 was more than capable to deal with fast paced subjects 5 years ago. If you made conclusions about xh1 from nowadays perspective one would conclude that this camera is not capable to focus at all 😢
@joe_allam Isn't the light in some of the photos little more ??
To be fair, those runners weren’t exactly moving at the speed of real athletes. Should shoot at a real sporting event to see if the focus can keep up.
1:10 inception scene
10:05 -10:08 very Philip bloom face
it is mobike behind you？摩拜单车？😂
at 7:40
sorry bro, but those photos are nothing really special ... composition and look was not really that good
To be honest, I somewhat agree with you. I don’t think I got anything special here either.

ND filter. Most of these shots are overexposed.
Great video and stills. Hate the bkgnd audio.
Inception? Jesus, you kids... Joe, that's from the famous opening sequence from Last Tango in Paris (which is likely why Nolan used it for Inception). Check it out
Haha! From what I gather, it’s been used in many films. Inception just happened to come to mind first, probably due to the emphasis on the symmetry of the bridge, which is something I’m always keeping an eye out for.
Marathon running is not a sport. It’s an endurance event at best. Just go cheer for someone on a treadmill.
Great video, though!
Pictures looks over exposed. Its the really sunny day i think. I live mirroless im a panasonic fan boy sorry #lumixwalk
