i LOVE the shot of the group of freinds where the one guy noticed you, its kinda magical in the way that he stopped his moment for the photo and he is also smiling in a way that makes you think hes in on a joke just him and the photographer understand whereas the rest of the scene moves naturally, its an incredible shot!

6:39 out of topic but i am going insane over the toad figurine oh my god there's not a single thought in those eyes but happiness

The Silhouette shot at 15:50 is insane - super surreal, almost looks like a frame from a dream sequence of a Japanese horror film.

First time ever seeing this channel and I love your honesty and introspection. This is street photography and education done right

This Japan trip has really triggered a different kind of photography more open towards the human element in the frame - I hope you are bringing this back to other locations (Vienna/Austria). Great work, wonderful shots and wonderful narration with them. Thoroughly enjoyed this video! And yes, the film is just plain old Kodak Vision with the remjet layer removed - just like Cinestill.

Loved these photos so much! It's interesting how these images where the eye sneak into an interior space (from outside), gazing at someone, almost always render great results (to me, at least); definitely took note of that for future experiments.

Gotta say a lot of these shots were brilliant. Kichijoji looks like an absolute gem for night shoots

The character of the film is just so perfect for the small alleyways!! I miss walking aimlessly just to take photos in Tokyo during night time.

Your filmmaking talent is limitless. I love watching your videos especially the intros. Sheeeesh

Nicely done and narrated all around. It’s uncanny how you and I have very similar tastes, locales, and technique. I spent several nights recently taking nighttime photo walks mostly with CS800T, mostly with an OM-4ti, and mostly in the entertainment district around Shimbashi Station (a little in Shibuya, Ueno, and Yurakucho too), which I recommend for your next outing if you haven’t done it already.

I'm in love with this film

everything looked straight of a movie 😍🫶🏾

Japan is such a good place for phography 🤩 Great series. The photo at 22:05 reminds me of Nighthawks by Edward Hopper, inspiring solitude and loneliness. I love it!

This was absolutely stunning.

i really love the photograph at 4:34! it actually made me say wow outloud your videos are very inspiring and motivating for me to be creative - love it!

Ahhhh this makes me miss living in Japan. So calming!

i love the compositions you find on the fly, but i think it’s also awesome that you speak multiple languages? i know you’ve talked about having family in japan but i didn’t expect the fluency and ease of conversation with the locals!

love seeing what you are dreeaming of in your travels ~~

Your videos are so enjoyable and super inspiring .

I love the look of this film, the tungsten balance really gives these photos a similar look to the movie Chungking Express which is one of my favourite films

The beginning of this video is amazing and so so cinematic, I'm a newer viewer coming back to some of your older content and just...wow. Such good work!

really inspiring stuff!

Love these night shoots you’ve been doing, so peaceful and relaxing 😁

Kichijoji has been my secret spot for photography. Seeing how you shoot is soo cool. Gives me some new perspectives I can try lol hope to see you out in Tokyo one day man

I just discovered this video and your channel and you deserve a million subs.

Great video and shots! Just wondering, do you shoot wide open to get a fairly "fast" shutterspeed? Don't seed motion blur on the people so I guess iso640 is okay with the amount of citylights there :)

pretty cool this video :D some really nice photos :)

Amazing, I wish you the best of time!🤩 Honestly I wouldn’t particularly recommend buying film in Japan, except you‘re looking for lesser known films and have the time to go look for it😅 I had a hard time buying Fujifilm because of Fuji‘s production issues. All the big shops were sold out and only had Kodak, which however in Japan is pretty expensive. But if you want to try something lesser known you could check out Lemon Camera in Shinjuku. This film I bought in Champ Camera, which however is not located in Tokyo👀

Hi men, love your work and night photos they just hits different. I got a question regarding how do you deal with apperture in this situations, i mean I always missfocus when I shot at less than f 5.6 but you seems to manage it very nice and always hace a totally focused photos. do you just shot the photos at 1/60 in order to obtain a totally focus image at f 8 or 11? or do you open at f/2 at 1/250? Thank you in advance! Sorry for my english 😁

@dominik.zemanek.97

From the light meter (and the depth of field) it seems the aperture is pretty wide - f/2-f/2.8. The K1000 has a focus screen, so I guess focusing may be a bit easier than on a digital camera, but it still surely requires a lot of practice and luck.

I shoot my photos with a nikon FM (50mm f/2 and 20mm f3.5 lenses ), but always when I open the apperture I always missfocus, so I disregard a possible damage on the camera. Do you know a way for obtaing higher chances of obtain more focused images on this wider appertures ? again, thanks for your feedback.

@dominik.zemanek.97

10 ай бұрын

@@orfer098 I honestly know next to nothing about this topic, but if the picture seems in focus in the viewfinder but not in the photos, then there must be something wrong inside the camera - between the lens and your eye - maybe the mirror angle needs an adjustment. If it's not about back / front focusing but about the whole image being blurry at wider apertures (aberration), then perhaps it's the lenses.

I can really recommend you Light Me for metering! It doesn't require you to take a photo each time and I think it also shows you a bit more information :) Ohh and beautiful photos, my favorite is 17:04

I was thinking about starting getting into film, and randomly came across your video. Then I was surprised to suddenly see the town where I grew up. Nothing has changed there. It's been a few years that I'm away from there, living in a country that nothing is like Japan. Oh and great photos too haha. I was wondering if there is any way to reduce the grain in the dark parts of the photo? and what camera do you suggest for a complete beginner? thanks

Love all the shots in this video, I will be traveling to Japan next month. Is it okay to shoot on the street in Tokyo? I'm a bit shy. Will definitely try the Cyberpunk 640T. Any tips on the night film photography? Nice work, keep it up!!

I plan on going to Japan hopefully in the next year and will also be taking street photography. Is there anything I should know before doing so that is specific to Japan?

7:43 kind of reminds me of a scene in wong kar wai’s “as tears go by” when andy lau fights people in a restaurant. that scene was also blue. great video!

Beautiful Video as usual. Do you know how the Laws concerning street photograhy are in Japan? The people always seem so chill, I´m having a hard time taking pictures of people here in Germany especially when they are facing me.

New viewer, but any Australia trip plans? We're an extremely diverse continent, so more than enough moods to capture! From the skyscrapers and laneways of our big cities, to the snowy tall rainforests & peaks of Tasmania; the nostalgic bubbling hillsides of river red gums to the waterfalls of Kakadu

@teocrawford

10 ай бұрын

Hi Daniel, ahhh not really haha. I assume you’re not too deep into film photography yet? Basically there is no such thing as a “pure” look of the film. Even just the exposure will make a massive difference. Then the developing can also influence the look. And finally the scanning is the strongest factor I’d say. Depending on which scanner you use and how you convert your negative to a positive the photo can look drastically different. That is the reason why I scan my negatives myself, because I don’t want to loose the control over that part and pay a lab for potentially bad scans.

I usually just do what my phone tells me to, but depending on the scene I might decide to over or under expose, although mostly overexpose to be safe. I'd only underexpose if I'm photographing into a brightly lit room from outside and suspect that my light meter is telling me to shoot too bright, but that rarely happens so I just kind of stick to what the light meter says :)
