As always wonderful Neale! Thank you for sharing, you have a storytelling talent which is just beautiful and everyone of your films are a joy to watch! Been following your‘s and Kevin‘s Podcast since the beginning and one of these days I will pick up the courage to send in a question or too. Please don’t stop what you are both doing it is an inspiration!
Hi Jonathan, well it's mails like this that keep us doing what we do with the podcast and yes, send in a question, or better still send in a story about something you've done photographically as we like those too. Thank you for your kind comments on the storytelling - I'm truly and genuinely flattered. :-)
Thank you Nick - the camera bag is 'nicely stocked' for sure, but if I look back to what I used to carry in terms of Canon, I've certainly trimmed the costs down. :-)
@@NickRiceFilm Me too. There have been moments where I have thought; "Argh my Canon wouldn't have done that," or: "Why h as it done that?" and so on. But I get why people said and still say it's a joy to use.
Thanks Greg, kind of you. Regard EQ and narration, I'm a massive fan of narrated film, Theroux being a complete hero of mine, so that kind of rubs off on the way I make films. Piecing a film together and then adding a soundtrack to match is an absolute hobby/pastime approach... and as for the shots... yup, those XT3 bodies pack a punch!
Thanks Tim, appreciate you coming by. I think I should liked to have been a travel vlogger in my 20s, surf board in one hand, camera in the other, clothes tucked into a small bag and just the wind in my hair... well, the hair bit would certainly have been nice!!!
Great video Neale, I'm also using the X-T3 increasingly more for video and I'm really pleased with the results. Looking forward to seeing the "interview".
Very kind of you W S - subs are going up very slowly... maybe the slowly slowly thing is good though. Rabbit and hare stuff? Share if you will though... all helps? :-)
Great video. Amazing how I'm looking at photos of that boat and yet I could hear people pushing it. I had to rewind and listen and watch again,,that's very very clever how you did that. Remember you talking about it in a recent podcast, might be 48 or 49, but on the podcast I didnt fully grasp what you ment. But now I do Not a photographer myself, wanted to be one but carers advisor told me I was thick lol. It was in the 70s in a council estate school. Carried on taking photos but never became a photographer became a window cleaner instead, which I'm glad about because photography is still my hobby, if I'd become a photographer I might have fell out of love with it as it would have been my job Why am I waffling Sorry Great video 👍👍👍👍
Ah the Photofilm concept... yes it's intriguing isn't it? People think they're seeing things moving which aren't. Sound is a POWERFUL driving force indeed! You're right about hobbies turning into careers dulling the sense of enjoyment, because I think many people feel that... but those careers teachers; they are responsible for many a dream quashed. The business ecosphere is littered with successful people who fortunately did not listen to professional career advisers.
Excellent footage & stills Neale. Really brings it home how hard life is in countries like that. You should have brought the rat home as a surprise for Kevin & let it loose during the podcast. :)
Can you imagine border control welcoming that into the country... "It's alright chaps, I'm just bringing it back into the country for my mate Kev to play with!"
@@patmcdonnell7784 I'll certainly put that within the list of films to make... I suspect it would be quite short though as I am a very simple traveller, choosing to travel light as you can see. It's generally one key light 45 degrees shining down, a hair light from the other direction for some shape, and then a boomed microphone into the H6....
Awesome video Neale. Love the sorry telling. I have been looking at the fujifilm 50-140mm. Would you say it has enough reach for motor sports. Or would 100-400mm the one to go for. Off to Silverstone next year to watch f1 and will be no where near as close as the pros with media passes. Preferably I would like to own both but one will have to do for now.
Thanks Matt. I'll come clean and say I'm entirely the wrong person to ask about the 50-140 against the 100-400, due to the fact I've got little to no experience with the latter. I HAVE used the 50-140 on a fun outing at a track day and found it very quick to focus and really strong... but I had very good positioning track side, AAA could go where I liked... I was CLOSE and sometimes VERY close to the action.
Brilliant. What a refreshing and amusing style. Do hope all your videos have a bit of that ‘j’ne said quoi’ in them - will keep me entertained for hours. Just my sort of humour. However, I’m also said to report that, according to strict editorial accuracy guidelines, The Maldives (or technically, The Republic of Maldives) is another "The" country! Sorry, couldn’t resist, and yes I know ... Nobody likes a smart arse! 😉 Oh, and by the way - almost forgot; Loved the shots you got in the ‘olfactorily authentic’ market place. Who needs smelly-vision eh. Cracking stuff 👍
Thanks Stephen that's kind of you... blimey, I didn't know that about The Maldives... hmmmmm... I shall be prepared for that pub quiz question and ready to correct! :-) As for smelly vision, yes times you may not necessarily want it... though oddly it's a fond smell of the markets now. And after the year we've had, I would quite happily be standing right in the middle of it. Very happy!
Just been looking through your channel btw... I'm very intrigued as to how you grade your pieces to camera... the ones you do in your studio with the warm lighting in the background... take the jpeg v raw one for example?
@@photowalk.podcast It's rather simple actually. X-T3 with Eterna Profile. In FCP X I use the Kodak Killer LUT by Peter McKinnon at 0.3 and adjust the luma curve to deepen the shadows a tiny bit and boost the highlights slightly. The lights in the back are a Hue Strip and a Hue Bulb set to some random orange I liked. The key light is a Aputure 120d with the big light dome. The JPEGvRAW Video turned out a bit dark for my taste. In it I tried the Aputure on camera left, so it wouldn't light up the room/door behind be. It now sits (again) on camera right. You can see it in the new X-Pro3 Video ua-cam.com/video/7IKMnBbRXzg/v-deo.html
@@THOMASBJONES Oh now, that film link you sent me is absolutely the look I am trying to make. I think the key light, the Aputure is really the king of softness. There are two of those aren't there... an older version and a new one?
@@photowalk.podcast Yeah the first video I did mainly because I had it on my „finally get started making videos“-list and wanted to get going. Took my whole office apart just to get these 5 minutes of video, then had to clean up for a whole day. That's when I figured that I'll have to dedicate some space to shooting videos and recording my podcasts. Took my a while to set up though, that's why I shot the X100V video while I was traveling through France continued preparing the space you see now. I'm now able to to these talking to the camera videos without long setup at home and can still to more ambitious on the road stuff when I find the time

Wonderful film, Neale. Great to see you putting the content back online.
Thanks Kevin, I think we've both had hectic lives over the summer, so now is the time to spend a little 'me time' and work on those passion projects!
Loved this one as well. The film had me drawn in from the start, great piece. Also, love what’s in your camera bag, very jealous haha.
Thank you Nick - the camera bag is 'nicely stocked' for sure, but if I look back to what I used to carry in terms of Canon, I've certainly trimmed the costs down. :-)
Neale James I understand that. I’m really glad I made the switch.
@@NickRiceFilm Me too. There have been moments where I have thought; "Argh my Canon wouldn't have done that," or: "Why h as it done that?" and so on. But I get why people said and still say it's a joy to use.
Brilliant video mate. I really enjoyed the information you provided.
Thanks Tim, appreciate your comment as ever.
Great narration, just love the EQ you achieve, and some of those shots from the Fuji hardware are glorious. Look forward to the next installment.

Thanks Barry.... hope to be able to share it in the not too distant future!
Excelente! Espero que haya una segunda parte de este reportaje en Gambia. Me he quedado con ganas de más!
Yo tambien lo espero. Mientras tanto, pronto saldrán más películas. Gracias por tu comentario.
Great video Neale.
Cool video mate! That big rat thingy would of scared me at 3am!
Great documentary!
Thank you! They are HUGE!
Nice pics, great video work. V v interesting thanks 👍
Thanks, appreciate that. The power in these small boxes is quite incredible.
Great video Neale
Thanks Kieran, really appreciate your comment.
Excellent as usual Neale.
Thanks Michael, kind of you. Always great fun to make. I'd love to making more every week... always such a joy to work on.
Neale James looking forward to meeting you in a few weeks at the Xweddings conference.
Lovely travel film Neale
Thanks Martin... kind of you.
Best voice on the web and most undersubscribed UA-cam channel out there!

@@cameraplus7233 Well, I'm not quite sure about that.... lol
The X T3 is magic, especially in your hands. I see you prefer the Vivid Profile.
Vikingdescendent that was standard profile. Thanks for your kind comment.
Beautiful vlog, well done!
Thanks for your kind comment, appreciated.
Thanks, I'd love to see how you set up for travel interviews
Do you mean the actual tripod set up, lighting etc... I'm guessing so....
@@photowalk.podcast I would like to see that too.
