You always know how to capture the lighting situations so perfectly. I aspire to have an eye like that
Means so much to hear that. Thank you! 🙏
I normally skip over the sponsor of most videos. This one is well worth it.
Love to hear that 🫶
your compositions and colors are outstanding, a huge pleasure to watch!! thanks for sharing
Wow, thank you so much for the kind words. Happy you enjoyed it!
Another great episode. Your colors are beyond compare!
Thank you so much, Rachel! ❤️
Awesome video as usual Dylan! Keep up the great content
Thank you for the encouragement!
Awesome man another great video, especially loved those cabin shots..
Oh, thanks! That was a really cool trail. Can’t imagine in the winter 🤩❄️
Thoroughly enjoyed this video!
Awesome! Thanks for watching 🙏
The x100vi footage looks beautiful! Really grades up nicely and the sharpness looks really solid!
Yeah it’s pretty nice!
Dude such an awesome vid again!🔥🔥 also love the intro music!✨
Ayyyy thanks man! Glad you dig it, haven't written something in that style in a while.
great work as always colors🥳
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful! thanks for the eye candy.
Appreciate that! Thanks for taking the time to watch.
Dylan I really do consider your videos therapy now. Always look forward to discovering a new release from you. The photos, the film, the colours and the music just combine into 20 minutes or so of quality downtime for me.
People should watch your channel even if they’re not into photography or videography.
Top work!👏
I honestly don't even know what to say! That type of feedback totally makes all of the effort worth it. Completely made my day, thank you so much for being here. 🫶
@@DylanSpitz You're more than welcome. Great work should be recognised, and I hope you get a heap more recognition in the future. 👍
banger vibe and soundtrack
Ahh really appreciate that! Thanks 👊
Beautiful images x
Many thanks!
Hey man…love this video. I would honestly pay just to see video of you hiking through the woods 😂. Color grading is absolutely gorgeous. Can’t wait to see the other videos.
Hahaha dude thank you so much! More on the way 🙌
OMG that is the same reason why I want to invest in a shorter strap. Deff not about that belly bounce lol. Good to know that I'm not the only one. Great Video Dylan!
A M A Z I N G as always
Hahaha I’m glad someone found it relatable! Appreciate you watching 🫶
Keep them coming
Trying! haha
loved it thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great colors in your photos!
Glad you like them! Appreciate the compliment.
Just simply amazing. I can’t wait to buy your presets as soon as I fix my problems with Adobe haha. I definitely would love a video on how you edit though!
Thanks so much! Oh nice, I hope you love them 🫶. A video walkthrough of how I edit using the system comes with your purchase, too.
the snowboarding story, sooo relatable, you probably just like me had heavy camera gear in your backpack, i was fighting for my life when other people were enjoying their day lol
“Fighting for my life” is the most accurate description possible 😂. Literally didn’t stay upright for longer than 4 seconds at a time.
Also…I know…that’s what she said
this relaxed my brain
Glad to hear that!
I second you so hard on the skiing and snowboarding! I will stick to admiring the snowy slops and capturing photos of them, than riding them haha. Great video! You hype me up in wanting to use my x100vi more and more!
Honestly, it's encouraging to hear that! Definitely felt like a total failure out on the slopes...oh well 😅. Appreciate you watching buddy! We gotta link up soon. I think we might try to hit Cali again soon. I'll definitely keep you posted.
How….
This is spectacular
As soon as I saw the dog and beautiful footage I knew it was you!
I hope I can replicate this on my x100v 🥲😊
Really appreciate that. Good ol' Carl is becoming the channel mascot and that makes me pretty happy actually, haha! You can do something special I'm sure of it, we all have something unique to offer.
incredible videos and photos. super inspiring. love my x100vi. been such a motivating camera
Hey, thank you so much! Really happy to hear that. Definitely a fun little camera.
I need that lut pack now
😂😂😂
clicked so fast on this and boy was it worth it
Really appreciate you!
Try the KF Concept Shimmer filter on your x100vi.
Amazing content u made!!! Mind if I ask what setting or film simulation u are using on ur camera?
Thank you! 2:40
Mr I don't post videos enough, I see you've posted a new video. INSTANT WATCH
Hahaha I appreciate the loyalty, I know I'm not as consistent as other folks. If one day UA-cam can replace the commercial work income, maybe that'll change. I'm trying 😅
Its all love do as you feel comfortable with too many youtubers burnout. Ill take whatever 😅@@DylanSpitz
Thanks, friend! More on the way.
great vid, thanks! do you shoot everything handheld? which stab mode do you use?
Thank you! Yes, it's all handheld. Just IBIS, not the digital cropped ultra-thing haha
which brand hood do you use for the fuji?
I just use the Fuji one. The LH-100 kit.
Pretty much Ellensburg to Spokane on that stretch of I-90 is a beating.
Dude the absolute worst 😂
Amazing! Can I ask which camera you used to film this video?
Thanks 🙏 of course, the first outing was with the X100VI, the camping trip was with both the X100VI and the Sony A7Siii with the 24-70 2.8 GM ii
Is it easy to switch between photo and video mode quickly?
Yeah it's pretty quick! The settings can be saved separately for photo and video so you don't have to dial it in every time. All you have to do is change the drive mode with the same button that you'd use to go into burst shooting mode, self timer, etc. - takes like 2 or 3 seconds total.
What aspect ratio is this for the video?
The b-roll is all in 2.4:1
Love the video! Can I ask you what you did to stabilize your video footage? I filmed my holiday with the X100VI but got unmotivated to edit it when I found out it all my footage was pretty shaky. Did you do all the stabilizing in post? or did you have a stabilizer on you? (or do you just have really steady hands haha) . Thanks!
Hey there! Thanks for watching, really happy to hear you loved it. I don't use a stabilizer, but you do have to be really careful and steady because of how light the camera is. Try tucking your elbows against your ribs and such when you can and definitely walk slowly and like a ninja if you attempt to film while moving, haha! You can try to use some stabilization in post, but the side effects are often worse than a little natural shake in my opinion, so just watch for that and use sparingly. Hope that helps!
@@DylanSpitz interesting, thanks!
So do you consider taking the Sony A7siii out with the fuji x100vi? (is it worth the upgrade from de x100V?)
Yeah I still bring it because I take video pretty seriously and have to film BTS style stuff with me in the frame. But if you’re just looking for an everyday camera that can get some great video clips here and there, the VI is a wonderful tool.
I purchased your presets last week, and adding them to some previous shots I have and love the style. I just moved over to the VI from my F, and so new to shooting RAW on this camera. Do you adjust anything in terms of the settings (sharpness, grain, DR, WB etc?) or do you keep everything neutral then edit in post? I mostly shoot ISO 400, and have recipes I use but I want to move into shooting RAW a bit more going forward. Thanks and love the vids!
Oh that’s great to hear! Thanks for the support 🤘. I don’t worry about any of that when shooting raw because it doesn’t save to the file anyways. I usually just leave the WB at 5600K in camera and keep it as simple as possible.
@@DylanSpitz amazing! Okay so very rookie question, when your shooting in the RAW + JPEG setting anything you do in terms of the simulations won’t be applied to the RAW file?
Correct, only the JPEGs
Would be interesting and nice to see you review a X-T50 with the new kit lenses you have nice compositions and colors
Appreciate that! Would be fun to give that a try
are there any disadvantages when upgrading from x100v to x100vi?
For me, it’s been only positives. Everything has slightly improved in each generation. I had the F, V and now the VI. Are they perfect? Absolutely not. But it’s the most fun I have shooting digital and the results are hard to argue with to my eyes.
liked the video next time are you able to put in a small watermark letting us know which is shot on the Sony and Fuji
All of the photos are on the Fuji. Sorry if that was confusing.
@@DylanSpitz ah okay was talking about video too but no need for the apology man thanks great video
best preset system on the market ! BAR NONE!
Gahhh it makes my day to hear that! So happy you’ve found them valuable ❤️🫡
@@DylanSpitz heyyyyy question with all this bad rep on adobe do you have any thoughts on creating custom styles for capture one pro? or any other software?
From what I've read, a lot of that drama has been clarified/refined since the online outrage and isn't really an issue at this point. I personally have no plans of using C1 anytime soon, so unless that changes I probably won't be doing that.
@@DylanSpitz i respect. Thank you for responding!
Of course!
Coming here after your Instagram post! I was always sooo eager to get the X100V, but never did for various reasons. But with the X100VI, I feel like I really want to pull the trigger. Just out of curiosity, is all video footage also captured on the X100VI? It’s so nice!
Hey there! The first outing is all X100VI. The camping trip was a mix of A7S3 and the X100VI. Hard to tell besides the focal length, hey? 😅
14:01 I fucking knew it! When I saw the photo on Insta I was like “is that an outhouse?” Hahaha.
Hahahahahahaha CLASSIC
Dylan PLEASE make a davinci tutorial on how you colour grade the footage, it's absolutely amazing. I've had the camera for a couple months now but am having a hard time figuring out what colour spaces to use and what to convert it to. Additionally how to use the flog2 to eterna LUT correctly, or if I even need to use it.
Hey! I'm working on something bigger than a YT video as far as color grading and video production is concerned, but it will take a bit of time to get it ready. In the meantime, I can try to answer the questions you had: I just import the footage, leave it in FLog2 but work in a rec709 color space in the project timeline in Davinci. This is my approach with all camera systems unless I'm trying to match cameras from a multicam shoot, in which I'll use a CST on all of them to get them into the same(ish) starting point. No eternal LUT, just grading with primaries, curves, etc.
@@DylanSpitzThanks man, great to hear that you’re working on it! Although I tried setting the timeline colour space to rec.709-A in my project settings, but the video still has that washed out log look. How do you get it to a decent looking starting point? Thanks again!
Yeah that’s how it should look. Now you grade it.
@@DylanSpitz Oh I thought there were some extra steps, I have to add so much saturation to make the footage look even remotely good.
Hi Dylan what is the filter that you use on your fujix100v and fujix100vi?
I occasionally use a black pro mist 1/8 strength (link in description)
@@DylanSpitz Thanks for the answer! Do you use any filter for protection and weatherproofing when not using the pro mist?
Not usually, I actually like the effect of the pro mist when it’s rainy, I think it adds to the atmosphere and it’s becoming the only time I really use it. My ideology at this point is that if I’m worried about the weather sealing I might as well add to the drama of the scene a bit.
@@DylanSpitz Thanks once again for the help!
Can you do a video Showing us how you graded the footage ?
Appreciate your interest! I answered this question pretty thoroughly a few comments below - check there for more info 🫶
Did you used mist filter in this video? Light looks stunning in the photos/video!
Thanks! Only during the camping trip segment in the second half. A 1/8 Black pro mist. Link in description 🤘
@@DylanSpitz thanks!!
New phrase in the vernacular…..”Bob Ross effect” 😂
LOL so ridiculous but you know you saw what I meant in your head, don't lie.
@@DylanSpitz I knew exactly….and saw the same thing in my head!!
When you edit the X100VI RAW photos in Lightroom, do you get Fujifilm worm artifacts?
I have no idea what that is. Do you see anything wrong with the images?
@@DylanSpitz I don’t see anything wrong with your photos. Maybe this would help. ua-cam.com/video/5HbPFyyCiv8/v-deo.htmlsi=8eYgab3M_evN-lNE
@@DylanSpitz I don’t see anything wrong with your photos. Maybe this video could explain what I’m talking about.

@@DylanSpitz I don’t see anything wrong with your photos. It’s whats been keeping from buying anymore Fujifilm cameras. I saw worm artifacts in LR when I had the X-E4.
Can I send you a link to a UA-cam video to your email so you can see what I mean?
@@imjesusmgarcia1997I don’t think the worming effect has been a problem with the 40MP sensor. I’ve never seen them on the XH2.
master colorist
Ah thanks so much for that. I don't think I'll ever be a master, but it's something I'm pretty passionate about studying and improving on for....well...probably forever.
Neck straps a dumb. They have a single point of failure and put the weight on you neck. I use an OP/TECH bino/cam harness. It puts the weight on you shoulders where it belongs, has two points of failure and the camera will not swing forward when you bend over. And, no belly bounce.
That harness looks intense! Probably awesome for wildlife or sports photography. For me just hiking and walking around small towns with the little Fuji it would be overkill and I would look absolutely ridiculous 😂
fujifilm xt-5 vid again soon ? xddd
Haha I’d love to, but I don’t own that camera! I did enjoy it when I rented it, though. Great camera.
