  • We decided to re-upload this video in full, instead of it being in two parts. We're not sure if this is a good thing in terms of 'the algorithm' but anyway, it seems most of you prefer a single long video. I know many of you have already seen both parts, so we don't expect a lot of views on this video, but wanted leave it here for the record.

    Hey everyone! Happy holidays! As mentioned in the description, we reuploaded this video in one part, since it seems that's what most of you prefer. Anyway, sorry we are slow to post. It's been a crazy couple months and we haven't had much time for editing new videos. We shot three more in Hachijojima as well as a few more in Tokyo recently. We will get them out soon, so please be patient! :)

    I was very happy to see the full edit. With the shorter version, you all seemed a bit rushed, and left so many great photo opportunities behind. I would be all over the place, every room like a kid in a toy store. This video shows more you all doing just that.
    It astounds me how humans leave so much valuable stuff behind. I’ve been in an abandoned hospital, mansion, old-folks home, and they all have that just bugged out look; like everyone there dropped what they where doing, and left. I think we are fascinated by the desolation of what once a very busy, populated place. There is some beauty in decay, and also photographing it as it is now. Come back at a later time, and much could change. Very cool location.

      Glad you enjoyed this one! Yeah, ruins like this are so fascinating. They leave so much to the imagination too, allowing us to come up with stories about them and how they came to be that way. :)

    I think these days the abandoned Japan aesthetics fascinates me more than the megalopolis Japan aesthetics. I think I kinda already seek some sort of desolation vibes avoiding people on my photography, so it makes sense.

    • @EYExplore
      @EYExplore  Рік тому +1

      Yeah, it makes sense to me too! I search for these kinds of things even in the city! :)

    I think that what appeals to photographers with decaying structures etc is that it isnt the normal view we get of things like this.. in this state of decay so its intriguing.

    Wonder and intrigue would be one of the reasons folk love to photograph abandoned/decaying places. Another, for me at least, is the want to archive things, be it big or small, intact or falling apart, even things most people find to be "useless". I personally find it very important. Things may not have been part our personal past or history but it was for others out there.
    Before I start rambling I'll just leave it there. lol. Cheers

    I liked the longer format in this case. I think just let the content dictate how long the video turns out. This is such a cool place.

  • @ColdCoffeePhotography
    @ColdCoffeePhotography Рік тому +1

    I think in the case of a focused subject such as this a longer "special" type video works better, saving the shorter ones for your more standard content - really enjoyed this and hope you can do more urban exploration of abandoned sites in and around Japan

      You can just watch it in parts though! I watch a lot of long videos on UA-cam. I just paused, bookmark it or save it to a playlist and get back to it later. UA-cam remembers where you left off. The thing is that is we post the video in two parts, the people who WOULD watch the whole thing cannot. And they might miss part 2. :)
