This video made me want to be inside of every photograph. You didn't just capture these photos, you captured the whole life and essence of those places
the video and pics are cozy af. my recent trip to Tokyo and Hakone last October also reignited my passion for photography and cinematography after 3 years of shooting purely on my iPhone. the whole place is just photogenic.
After years of taking iPhone 28 mm snaps I’m now really enjoying the 35 mm experience with my Fuji X100V … one camera, one lens! Excellent video … thanks. 📷🙂
I’m someone that struggles with Sony colors. Most UA-camrs tend to over grade. I think you’ve done a beautiful job of grading a look that’s not extreme. I hope many Sony shooters purchase your lut pack. 🤓
I agree with you. On trips where I have either bought a small compact like a Contax T3 or Ricoh Gr3 I have returned with 100's of great photos. When I try and bring a lot of "just in case" items - I spend way too much time asking myself what I should use and I end up wasting time trying to use everything I brought with me.
I mean you can still bring one lens but make it a 24-70 2.8 instead of a prime. I don't really need the depth of field or low light advantages of a 1.8 or faster prime because the AI noise reduction in Lightroom is amazing now.
this is the first video i have watched from your channel. it is just beautiful! and can i just say how wonderful it is to watch something that is just of beauty and peace with such gorgeous images for the senses to take in in contrast to a world with often so much violence and noise (most often my nervous system can't take it)! i LOVED the music in this video as well -- especially the first track. traveling around japan to experience and photograph, especially the country side, is my dream (i've never been). i really loved the sites you chose and the color tonality in each image is amazing!
Kyoto is such a photogenic city; it is my favourite place to visit. I did go with a friend recently and they're also not that interested in photography so I definitely know how you feel. Enjoyable video as always, thanks for posting!
One prime for travel is the way. It's infectious, too. Lean into it, and the want to mess with zooms or lens swapping disappears entirely. I leaned too hard, now I'm on that Leica Q + Sunny16 + Zone Focus lifestyle. Couldn't be happier.
I like how your video clips are composed like a short moving photo. Recently, on my last trip to Kyoto, I carried my Fujifilm X-T5 and 23mm prime (35mm converted to full frame) and can’t agree more, perfect focal length for travel. Great video, thanks more creating this for us!
@@krhump Fujifilm x series cameras use a crop sensor, to get the equivalent focal length to a full frame sensor you have to multiply the lens focal length (and aperture) by 1.5
I prefer it when photographers try to encapsulate the natural look of what is in front of them in their images and you've done a great job with that. I'd love to come to Japan someday soon especially around October or November time when it is autumn. I've seen a lot of photos of the Kyoto area and it looks very beautiful and special. Many photographers tend to go for the most unnatural dynamic vivid and oversaturated colours especially those who shoot with Canon cameras and lenses. They might look great for a short period of time and have a wow factor but it is not reality. I think many people in the future when they look back on the photos they took in this early digital era will have regret.
Excellent video man. I really loved the video style with the photos inbetween. Couldn't agree more with taking the simplest setup. Any added complexity that hinders taking photos is better left out of the equation. The less friction and effort there is to taking up the camera and snapping a shot the better!
I really enjoyed this video. So lush and relaxing. The colors looked so rich and natural. Like a fond memory. The water scenes looked so amazing and alive.
I was at first sceptical about buying my Fuji X100V because of the forever fixed focal lengh (i have the TCL for it) but i can tell you that having just one camera and one fixed lens gave me freedom. Constantly looking at lenses that i want to buy or constantly zooming in and changing lenses ruined my photography. The only pictures i am truly proud of were taken with my X100V. Whoever truly wants to learn photography needs to drastically limit themselves
Exactly! I used to travel with a DSLR and several lenses. Several years ago though I bought a G7X and began using that as my only travel camera. My purpose was, as you noted, to not be tempted to covet additional equipment, lenses, etc. The G7X is, of course, a point-and-shoot but it does everything a larger, more equipment heavy camera can do. It was destroyed in a Mumbai monsoon a few months back but I plan to replace it soon with a similar type camera. No more lens collections for me.
@@InternationalBigshot so liberating not chasing the next lens. Go out with what you got even if it just a phone. I started to work on composition and framing and it is easier to focus on the art of photography if you can put the technical stuff aside. I tried an hasselblad x2d today and it is ridiculous but i would not get it over my fuji
Great journey and message (and production). I've had a life long obsession with cameras, particularly MF and LF and have been known to drive and hike around with 30+ kg of gear, lots of glass and even different format options. Endless confusion and often disappointing results. Shooting with 1 prime is (to me) like playing golf with 1 club. You fall in love with it, you find endless new ways to apply it and it is immensely satisfying to be creative with it. Often the results are wonderful. Perhaps I should sell off my gear.... (prob not)... Thank you and cheers from Sydney, Dave
I enjoy just walking with my camera around my neck and one lens attached with a battery in my pocket. Sometimes I might bring one other lens if I have a bag. But I hate bringing a 24-70 or something like that, too big and not enjoyable. My new fav is my Voightlander Nokton 35mm f1.4. Such a great set up and small on the Sony.
I just retired so I thought I would give photography a try. I just bought the Sony A7RV, Sony 85mm GM 2 f/1.4 and the Sony 35mm GM f/1.4 Whenever I start a new hobby I hate upgrading later
Timely …. I’ve actually recently promised myself for the next month or two just to shoot with one prime my Fuji 35mm … been a real challenge … sadly in the UK it is currently dull and flat … still, I will persevere 😊
I recently came to this conclusion as well! I’ll JUST be bringing my Sony A7IV + 35m f1.4 prime to Italy next month… (I also will have a variable ND/black mist filter as well on that lens)… you described it well. It eliminates friction and you get very fluid with that ONE lens! I also just love the way primes make you move. Man. It’s so fun. Thanks for validating me on this lol.
in the DSLR era (before smartphones and mirrorless) I remember going to Disney World with Nikon D7000 and a kit full of lenses. I had the $850 long zoom lens which weighed a ton. Was draining to carry it all around the parks and still switching lenses. Thankfully phone cameras have gotten so good. ha
Beautiful video - watching for the second time a few months later. Really appreciate the measured, unpretentious takes on the process of making photos. My takeaway, which is also my experience, is that obsessing about choices of kit can use valuable emotional energy which is better employed to engage with the subject to make a more insightful photo.
Ive been just geading out with my Zeiss Jena pancolar 50 1.8 and challenging myself to use my feet for the composition. It definitely forces you to really think about what you are trying to share and the story you are telling. I actually really love zooms..but i think it's important to mix it up and challenge yourself. Absolutely loved the video.
I carry my Sony a7r3 with the 20-70mm f4 lens and it's great. I've been all over Japan and it's never failed me. The hot thing now is grungy and muted color but I blow mine out...I love vivid color and the Sony can handle quite a bit of boosting on the RAWs. I am looking forward to an a7r5 sometime next year.
35mm is the PERFECT focal length for travel from my experience. Especially when you couple it with a high megapixel camera (over 24 Megapixels), you can always crop post as needed. My travel kit is 35mm, which I use 90% of the time, and a 90mm. If I know my destination needs a wider angle, I add a 24mm.
On a trip that I do for myself, I would use the best possible set, because it is for me. Last trip, most of the time I used my 18-35mm but when I felt I could use the 70-200mm or even the 24-70mm, depending on the situation. Gimping myself for only 35 mm is not really good advice for a travel. Light, but you lock yourself out from some spectacular images.
great video, i want to point out that i really like the comparison of the shot before and after post. As a beginner it gives me a much better feeling for edit.
Beautiful video and images. I agree in simplicity in carrying gear, maybe it's my age and don't want to carry the bulk and weight. Was just there in Japan and Kyoto, loved it, especially once we got away from the main areas and congested tourist areas. Also complete know what it's like to travel with people who don't care for image capture like myself. Try to find a balance of being considerate to their time and getting images I want. For me, have tried the single prime lens concept but always find myself going back to a zoom. I just am not comfortable stepping into people's personal space, so a zoom allows me to get a shot I envision without making someone feel uncomfortable. My current single lens is the Sony 20-70 f4. it's what I used for my Japan trip and it was pleasure to carry.
Yeah you just know how to use this lens. Never thought of buying this one since I have a 24 and a 50. I skipped this one because I thought I had the best of both. Great colours by the way
i envy your courage using one prime lens for travel. i can't get around my self doing it and always end up bring 24-70 or 24-105. definitely try it next time
I had this last November, most of my work is also at max only uses 2 prime lens. While there are some shots that I definitely miss, I can explore better and get more interesting shots from my 35mm f1.4. Besides 35, 50 is also another pick for me if I can only bring one.
Great video, as always. Really love the vibe of the Ine village. Would be awesome if you could do a video with your iPhone video settings some time, that would be really appreciated.
Man, can't agree more with you. When you travel, you want to immerse yourself into the journey and all this new experiences, not to fiddle with the equipment. In a funny way, by constraining yourself you actually free yourself.
I noticed on this video you primarily chose 500th of a second after picking your aperture and floated the iso. In other videos i see you choose 320 iso and aperture and then you would float the shutter. Thoughts on why and when on this from your perspective?
If you can only have one lens for travel is not 35mm but 28mm mostly cover all you need . The old Leica Q is the best camera and best 28mm lens for travel , you can used it for portrait, street photos, land scape , architect, food and Macro also Excellent Monochrom mode , night shot ….
Hello! I have a question, how fast does the XT20 take single photos without and with the flash? (not in the burst mode). How long do you have wait after taking a photo to be able to take another one in both cases? (without and with lamp)
Tks for sharing. I have this lens for A7III. I just got 28-60mm to replace it. So I will be selling it. But 35mm 2.8 Rokinon is a good & really small lens.
Going to Japan in the spring. Came across this video and immediately felt relaxed. Also love that you used the 35mm. I’m planning on doing the same exact thing when I get there! Were you shooting in manual or AP?
@@adriensanguinetti ok good to know! Do you find that you need to edit the RAW images less than shooting in manual and still getting your desired final image?
What do you think about having a 85mm and a 24-70mm Nikon lens with you? I usually have my 24-70mm all the time with me, but there are moments when I feel that I need one other fix lens. I also have a 50mm too, which one you would suggest and why? Just want to know your thoughts about that., because the 85mm is really good for portraits, but 50mm would be for any situation.
Sorry if you mentioned it in the monologue, but did you shoot the video with the same 35mm lens as well? Or are the videos from a different camera and lens?
When I was finally able to afford my first camera after growing up liking photography and cinematography. I preordered the xt3 which a bunch of primes. Now, I have no "digital" cameras (aside from my action camera) and just use either a pentax km with 50mm, a mamiya rb67 with 75mm and my familys old 2001 sony mini dv camcorder.
Great photos and video, the grading is nicely done ✅. Love the use of light in your compositions too. Can I ask, in your video did you use a black mist filter at all?
I did the same in Japan with a A7iii and the 35mm f2.8 from Samyang, got great results and really love the combo ! But now I went to the Nikon Coolpix A DX, a whole other project… :) Insane vibes on your video :)
I’m a prime guy, mostly shooting with 35. In my recent trip to Japan, I brought a 28, 35, and 50. I mostly shot 28 with my Ricoh GR3. But I really wish I brought my Canon EF 20-35mm 3.5-4.5 lens with me on my new Canon R8. The ultra wide versatility would have been nice to capture Japan. A “nice to have” additional lens would have been my EF 28-105 3.5-4.5 to zoom into some far away landscapes or subject isolation shots. For me, one camera, one lens in Japan would be 20-35 zoom. And 85mm (or 100mm) if I brought a second lens. But, I’d also have to have my Ricoh GR with me too, so it would have to be two cameras. With my iPhone being a 3rd. 😅
@@adriensanguinetti ya, it’s nice quickly flipping between 20 & 35, and the 20-35 zoom is probably the biggest lens I’d want to travel with. I’ve owned bigger lenses with more zoom range or faster aperture, but I never use them because they get big and heavy.
Hey man! Recently discovered your stuff and it’s mesmerising. I am soon travelling to Japan, and I am looking for a small versatile camera. I even considered the Ricoh griii, but there are too many negatives. Do you think the Sony A6400 is a decent choice for travel? FYI, I’m downsizing from a Canon 5D iv haha
Im new to photography. when u guys says 35mm, do u mean full flame 35mm, or any 35mm lens? I use APS-C, just wanting to know the standard language, as im abit confused
You and Teo Crawford gave me the inkling to fall back in love with photography as a hobby. So thank you!

this is probably a bot

So true

28mm is.
It’s good for video ?
@@McMurphy13 that totally depends on your project

It's why I loved my old Mju 2, and why I love setting my iPhone to 35mm equivalent.
Thanks for your comment :)
I do the same but with your 2nd favorite prime lens. Heavier yes, but I find the f1.4 on my a7r2 42mp gives me a whole world more of "art". Well done!

Just did Japan-80% of shots were with a 14f2.8 Fujinon and an XT2. It’s a very dense place esp Roppongi. 35mm equivalent is 20mm. Best decision.
Enjoying watching to videos. Very relaxing yet informative

it's the best, I always do exactly the same, my 7iv and my 35 1.4.🙂

24 70 2.8 and 50/35 1.4 is the best combo for travelling
M6 plus 35 mm/2.0 Summicron. Done.
Sorry if you mentioned it in the monologue, but did you shoot the video with the same 35mm lens as well? Or are the videos from a different camera and lens?
i was about to turrn it off when i found out it wasn’t a Fujifilm lol but wont hold that against you nice work! 😂
When I was finally able to afford my first camera after growing up liking photography and cinematography. I preordered the xt3 which a bunch of primes. Now, I have no "digital" cameras (aside from my action camera) and just use either a pentax km with 50mm, a mamiya rb67 with 75mm and my familys old 2001 sony mini dv camcorder.
Beautiful content overall. Subscribed
Im just here to enjoy the photos ..
I have the 35mm 1.4GM and it is a superb combo with any Sony A7….
What time of the year was this in Japan? Love the video and what you captured ❤
Great photos and video, the grading is nicely done ✅. Love the use of light in your compositions too. Can I ask, in your video did you use a black mist filter at all?
Your color grading make me think that you used fujifilm, but then i found you used sony. Really nice job
Thank you for sharing. Did you use manual mode or A mode?
A mode all the time :)
I did the same in Japan with a A7iii and the 35mm f2.8 from Samyang, got great results and really love the combo !
But now I went to the Nikon Coolpix A DX, a whole other project… :)
Insane vibes on your video :)
I’m a prime guy, mostly shooting with 35. In my recent trip to Japan, I brought a 28, 35, and 50.
I mostly shot 28 with my Ricoh GR3. But I really wish I brought my Canon EF 20-35mm 3.5-4.5 lens with me on my new Canon R8. The ultra wide versatility would have been nice to capture Japan. A “nice to have” additional lens would have been my EF 28-105 3.5-4.5 to zoom into some far away landscapes or subject isolation shots.
For me, one camera, one lens in Japan would be 20-35 zoom. And 85mm (or 100mm) if I brought a second lens. But, I’d also have to have my Ricoh GR with me too, so it would have to be two cameras. With my iPhone being a 3rd. 😅
I like the idea of having a 20-35, still a zoom but with a more restricted range compared to a typical 24-70
@@adriensanguinetti ya, it’s nice quickly flipping between 20 & 35, and the 20-35 zoom is probably the biggest lens I’d want to travel with. I’ve owned bigger lenses with more zoom range or faster aperture, but I never use them because they get big and heavy.
are you also just shooting on 35mm on all videos?
Yes I do ;)
Hey man! Recently discovered your stuff and it’s mesmerising.
I am soon travelling to Japan, and I am looking for a small versatile camera. I even considered the Ricoh griii, but there are too many negatives. Do you think the Sony A6400 is a decent choice for travel?
FYI, I’m downsizing from a Canon 5D iv haha
I prefer a zoom for daytime walkabout and a prime for night. 24-200 and 35 or 50 f1.8
Great video as always!
Glad you enjoyed!
Im new to photography. when u guys says 35mm, do u mean full flame 35mm, or any 35mm lens?
I use APS-C, just wanting to know the standard language, as im abit confused
Do you use software stabilization in post for the smooth shots, or a tripod? I want to travel with a gimbal but it's a large piece of gear.
Hi. Is 35mm also good for food photography and vlog?
Food photography yes but not for vlog, it is not wide enough if you want to film yourselg
Is the video part of this also done with only the 35mm? Or is it a different setup?anyway, Great video! Greetings from the Netherlands
did you use Steady Shot while recording?
Yes alway, standard mode
Can you please make a video on how you edit these raw images?
Did you also shoot your video with the 35mm? Or did you use other lenses as well?
Yes all the video is also with the 35mm. sometimes I use the crop mode making it a roughly 50mm equivalent
I have to know, what picture profile on your Sony do you use for photography and what one for video??
Slog3 for video and no profile for photo, I shoot RAW and edit my photos with my Lightroom preset (available on my store)
