Yes, it’s got a good selection of shops and restaurants.

Good place to escape the summer heat now.

Yes, color can be distracting sometimes. B&W has a very soothing effect on my eyes.

Thanks for your comment. If I just take static shots, then it's fine, However, as soon as I start panning or walking, the IBIS brings about the wobbles. The best way to use wide-angle lenses is on a gimbal or tripod with the IBIS turned off. It was an experiment to see how it would go handheld.

Osaka certainly doesn't grab the attention and limelight that Tokyo does. It's underrated, especially considering that major tourist destinations (eg. Kyoto, Nara, Kobe) are a short train ride away.

Yes, he made an unscheduled cameo. LOL!

Probably more difficult to take photos in the late evening.

@@camerabaka Not for a camerabaka Pro 😉

Only with love and affection.

Yes, it's definitely the smallest Shinkansen station that I know in Japan.

If you had taken the time to read the premise of the channel, the thumbnail, and the description, you'd have understood that the reason there are these annoying stills is that the channel is all about showing photography. I would love to do just videos as well, but for now, I'm concentrating more on photography. Thanks for watching!

@@camerabaka ....I didn't actually watch the whole thing I just zipped through it.

@@calikalbocalikalbo6082 Good for you, mate.

@@camerabaka I really liked the format actually; it's really nice to walk around and also see what youre seeing in those shots; great vid nice vibe, subbed

@@Labyrinthianmaze Thanks for your support. Much appreciated!

Well said! It's a relatively sleepy little unknown part of the Kobe area. It certainly has an understated charm.

Who knows?! The food displayed in the windows are plastic models of the actual dishes though.

It's worth going if you're in the area.

Lots of options if you're hungry. 😉

@@ericflexyourhead6426 Yes, there's a good selection of different food.

You should come and see for yourself!

I agree. I find the GRIIIx is better for street photography because it allows you to get closer to the subject. With the GRIII, you need to get out of your comfort zone in order to make a more interesting composition. It's learning experience.

Thank you, I will!

No, it's the Dairy Edition. Not that it's any different at creating images to the normal GR III. I like the aesthetics of the camera to look at though.

@camerabaka diary edition.. 🥰🥰 yes I love the aesthetics too

You`re absolutely right! It's a never-ending maze that seems to be in a constant state of change.

Yes, it is. So much of it is new to me.

No, I haven’t but I’ll check it out when I can. Thanks for the suggestion!

@@camerabaka Worth a look for sure .

@rodmackay5449 Will do. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing.

It's a relaxing area of Kobe. You should visit again!

Me too! There's something special about monochrome photos.

Awesome feedback! Thanks.

I used the DJI Osmo Action 4.

@@camerabaka Cool. Hope this channel continues to grow and succeed.

@@everbeenMe too! Thanks for your kind words 😊

It's a nice little hike from my place. Well worth it for the views.

Yes, it is. The recipe is “Aged & Faded” found in the Ricoh Recipes app.

@@camerabaka Thanks. At the start was not my fav, but after some pictures it growed on me.

It's an acquired taste I guess. I like experimenting with the different looks. Some work better than others. The RR (Ricoh Recipes) are fun to work with.

@@camerabaka Yes. I tryed some and got to the conclusion that some times ones work better than others. It differe to mutch for my taste. I like the smoth nature of this filter, yet i think is to blue for me. I tryed other one more orange, but when i get reds in the image they pop to mutch. I may just use this blue profile without the blue xD

Thanks for watching! I'll try and read more about the history of Mt.Tamborine.

Thanks! Yes, the DJI Osmo Action 4 is a great little camera.

Thanks for watching!

Yes, I was driving.

@@camerabaka You probably had to use the Navigation 😎

@@rodmackay5449 No navi in the car, so followed the brother-in-law. Pretty easy drive.

Weather is still nice! July onwards is tough.

Was a perfect day! Unfortunately, summer will be here soon.

ケンタさん、私のビデオをご覧いただきありがとうございます。この前私は初めてエアショーを見てとても感動しました。LUMIX GH6そしてDZOfilm 10-24mm/20-70mm T2.9 ズームレンズの2台を使いました。自分が満足しましたけど、その日にプロが撮影したいくつかのビデオと比較すると、非常に普通です。有料チケットで滑走路に近づいて映像に助かりました。おすすめです。又、岩国基地のようなエアショーに参加したいと思います。ケンタさんもKZbinを頑張ってください。

LOL he makes a comment but says nothing interesting! What a waste of space!

You’ve got to get back over here. Shrines and temples are so amazing to visit.

Absolutely! I love hot springs.

Yes, very cool. You should try it.

I stayed there overnight on May 9th. Beautiful area. I’d really love to go by the Kawasaki VN2000 next time!

Amagasaki Castle is an obscure one for sure. The DJI Osmo Action 4 is superb. If you’re shooting in daylight, which I mainly do, the footage is sublime. I really love the magnetic mount, especially as I ride a motorcycle (different YT channel) and like the ease of transferring it to other mounts. I used to have Olympus gear but have sold it all. Awesome system for travel photography! I’ve never shot even one photo with the GH6 because I bought it specifically for video. That said, I’m confident it’d take stellar photos. I still own a mint Nikon D700 (you can still find new ones here in Japan) with a bunch of lenses. I absolutely love this camera and like that it’s dedicated for photography. I also recently received a brand new Pentax K-1 Mark II and a Pentax 35mm f2, along with a 50mm f1.4. I picked up an adaptor for the K-1 II so that I can use all my exquisite Nikkor D lenses. I hope to start doing photowalks with these cameras soon. I have trips to Australia, Thailand and Vietnam lined up for this year. Of course, I’ll be trying to get around Japan as much as possible.

@@camerabaka oh man that sounds awesome, enjoy your travels :) The k1.2 looks amazing!

Thanks for tuning in and commenting! It's appreciated. Recently, I've been using 'P' mode and adjusting the aperture to suit the situation as I see it. As a rule of thumb, more depth of field is preferred in street photography (they say), but sometimes, for artistic reasons, etc., having some bokeh makes for a more interesting image. I had a quick peek at your channel. Looks great! I'll definitely check it out more. Cheers!

@johneather I love using P mode with A shift, it's become my goto! Not sure if u know but you can set the program line to have p mode favor deep normal or shallow focus also.

@@BMadPhoto Yes, I've definitely seen that option. TBH, the scope of control with this little camera is overwhelming. That's a big part of why I use 'P' mode: keeping things simple so I'm focused on taking photos. I'll definitely try some more experimentation. The 'snap focus priority' mode is excellent in good light for me.

I appreciate your attention. Thanks for watching!

No, I was just using the internal microphones on the DJI Osmo Action 4. I’ll need to address the sound in future videos. Thanks for pointing it out.

So cool! It’s a great little city and so convenient for travel.

Thanks for watching!

What preset do you use?

I used ‘Vibrant Nostalgia’ from the Ricoh Recipes.

I try the best I can but I plan to travel more. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Sometimes, but not usually. I try and let the camera take care of everything as much as possible.
