“I got to hang out with the family” is almost as precious as your son. Such a small thing, but it shows how much you appreciate the time you got to spend, and dang it I think that’s great. :)
Looking forward for the next part of the tutorial and I hope that it wont be the last as the title impIies! I have really loved all the PTW tutοrials and the behind the scence episodes! You guys are incredible and Elia is an exeptional instructor!
You can have the rainbow bridge with rainbow colors if you go there in December. And if you go on Saturdays, you can enjoy fireworks. It's an incredible combo.
I'm excited for the other tutorial reveal. I will say that ignoring rules that are clearly there is not the best. Your tutorial for this end part is basically saying, ignore the restrictions placed on you and do what you want. I was ok when you didn't know, worked with the locals, and got the shot, but knowingly disregarding the rules is disrespectful. Not great to encourage tourists to do this as it may make the locals less welcoming in the future to foreigners as a whole. It is fine if you don't ask, then get told no filming/tripods/etc, and you listen. Photography is about working within the limits, so I hope respecting the rules is considered in the future to teach people to get the shot. Overall, the behind the scenes has been amazing and reminded me of the joy I had during my travels to Japan.
Agree and I hope this comment gets more traction. There's the principles of Leave No Trace in nature/wildlife photography, etiquette of consent and privacy in street photography, tag responsibly, etc. To blatantly break posted rules (which exists for legit reasons) and then broadcast that your audience is irresponsible. I get we all get caught up being in new exciting environments with the prospect of capturing something really beautiful, but that last bit was off the mark to me
I am fine with following the essence of the rules. Since it's ok to place a bag on the ledge, and also take photos, then having a camera in the bag on the ledge snapping photos in my book is fine. The rules are there to prevent people blocking the experience for others by putting up tripods or blocking the windows and smudging the glass with greasy fingers. Excessive rules are an issue in Japan, which is not the intent, but helps to control large groups. Obviously tripods and blocking the window are not allowed.
Is this the last "Photographing the World" forever; as the title seems to imply? Personally I hope not. I have all the series and not only has it helped me with my own photos but they are just great tv to watch.
The anti reflection item part is why i alway get most personal item black it just a coat, It's just a wallet, It's just a bag You can block the reflection you win In Japan some of the no tripod rules is pain in the ass I have one's get complaint from my security guard When there is no any no tripod rule listed weh i am using just a plam size micro tripo
At the scramble? We don't have time to reach out and make connections for every shoot. And sometimes when we ask, they say we can't film at all so it's just easier to run and gun.
@@FStoppers Dude, they change fast at that age. You don't want to be one of those dads that missed your kid's years before school. At least when they get older you can take your kid on a trip with you in summer (or other times of year if you homeschool).
@@FStoppers I was in Sacramento and ran across a Ruth's Chris steakhouse. I don't remember the prices, but I recall that I was surprised. They posted them outside the restaurant, probably because there had been more than one embarrassing situation when people were surprised when the bill came due. I suppose, technically, I could have afforded it but just the way I was raised... I suppose you could say I wouldn't afford it. The prices just seem so extravagant.
Profound perspective on capturing fleeting moments. In this digital age, how can photographers ensure authenticity amidst the rush to document everything? Eager to explore this further with the community!"
Tokyo is an amazing city as are some of japans other cities. Definitely need a fixer especially if you travel outside Tokyo where english becomes rare. Too bad you did not team up with the eyexplore guys who have a youtube channel on tokyo street photography. The weygo beef is good, but i prefer the sushi. Bad luck on the stomach bug. It happens
My friend and I travelled well outside Tokyo and the other foreign travelled cities. We speak very little Japanese and had no problem with English. You need Google Translate for menus, but it isn't hard. I loved Japan and it is great.
@@culinarykid92 I found Nagano to be ok, but some of the smaller towns had very little English signs and i could not understand the names, or bus routes. Hokkaido was also a bit of a struggle. Thankfully I had a good guide friend who lived in Hokkaido to help with chatting to the restaurant owners and shopkeepers that made my experience so much better. It can be hard to get the Japanese to try to talk for fear of offending. Tokyo is super easy to get around, and i had no problem chatting with people. They seemed more confident and relaxed. That was my experience.
@@barryobrien1890 Hokkaido is a place I hope I get to at some point. I was in Aomori, Sendai, Nagano, Tokyo, Kyoto, Shirakawago, Takamatsu, Kochi, Iya Valley, etc. Kyoto's bus routes were tough even with Google Maps. Osaka has subway stations that are not quite easy to navigate in some areas like Umeda. I can't imagine driving in Japan without knowing Japanese. But public transit gets you to almost any place a foreigner would find worth their time for a couple weeks vacation. Many spoke a small amount of English, but we're always willing to help. Signs were almost all Japanese (besides JR station signs), and most restaurants were a Google lens and point to say this please. The couple places that seemed uncomfortable with foreigners seemed eased when we did Google translation. When we would ask for their recommendation and agreed, they were much more excited since we would get more authentic local dishes. It was the only way to get locals who weren't just asking about why you came to talk with you. I have a shellfish allergy and basically everywhere accommodated this request, with only a couple not realizing something was a shellfish. Still one of my favorite places to visit for a vacation and travel.
I think I know why that super fancy place didnt let you in and said they were full and only do reservations. Might have been because your an American running around with a samuri sword on his back 🤣🤣
Ha no, we just get so much crap for visiting Italy a handful of times and not really liking the food at all. So now when we go anywhere we gotta talk about the food because people think we have bad taste in normal and fancy food. I've been back to Italy and once again didn't care for 90% of the meals I had. I wasn't able to go to Japan but I feel confident I would have LOVED the food there. -P
Watched the first 1:38 second. The title has no relation to the contents,which seems to start as a family vlog. It nearly caused me to unsubsribe. Might not come back if this keeps happening. Already did a subscription purge after the pandemic
This has become my favorite type of format you guys have published in years! 🙌

That Starbucks has the same policy about using tripods or shooting with a non mobile phone. You got lucky being able to get pics there.
Big fan of the hugs back and forth. It's crazy how much becoming a dad changes you

The series should be called "How Elia Sneakily Gets Around The Rules" instead!

That umbrella at 3:12 looked like you were carrying around a Samurai Sword ;-)
Love this series, keep up the good work. Saludos desde México.

You guys should make a tutorial about how you made these amazine b-rolls!
You guys are amazing, love the series so much :)

You can block the reflection you win

A cliffhanger in the end.
Serious question guys: why don't you talk to the building's management and try to get a media license for the shoot?
At the scramble? We don't have time to reach out and make connections for every shoot. And sometimes when we ask, they say we can't film at all so it's just easier to run and gun.
Easier to ask forgiveness than permission

Loved this video!
Well done and great video!!

Hoping for a new PTW. Big Cliffhanger at the end...😁
Great Video!
Yes a lot of societal rules in Japan. I think one is employees cannot leave work before their boss. Its seen as rude and disrespectful
The surprise ending 😮

3:02 For a moment there I thought you had a Katana on your back 😅
Katana umbrella
@@FStoppers Yeah thought so, that grip is very nice 😎
In Japanese culture, giving a knife as a gift brings bad luck. You can get around it by paying a dollar or less.
@2:33 yet they always seem to have to top of the line stuff....its kinda like rich people saying they don't care about money...
I think I know why that super fancy place didnt let you in and said they were full and only do reservations. Might have been because your an American running around with a samuri sword on his back 🤣🤣
It's The End of (Photographing) The World. :(
Not first!
Ohh you TEASE

love the work! :D
is this a food channel?

sounds like you are better off unsubscribing, honestly, this got your panties in a twist so much to make a "threat" of leaving.. leave then

It's the last episode of this PTW behinds the scenes vlog. -P
