Did you crop ur vid to achieve the 4:3 aspect ratio. Is there aspect ratio guides/ tips u can give to have similar results as yours? How did you compose your shots, did u use any guidelines?

@jamesford_jp 2 ай бұрын

Yes, I did. It’s pretty simple actually. You just set the resolution/aspect ratio when creating a project in Final Cut. As for composition, nothing special. Just center compositions most of the time…

Thank you! The Z5 is great. If I hadn’t started making videos and doing a lot of hybrid shooting, I probably never would have picked up a Fuji and would still be using a Z5 as my daily driver. I still think about Nikon haha. Great cameras!

@jamesford_jp 3 ай бұрын

To be honest, I don’t really remember anymore… I shoot mostly FLOG2 these days and it's been a while since I used this particular recipe. It should be Classic Chrome, with maybe +2 to highlights and shadows in the tone curve for more contrast and perhaps +2 color for a little more saturation (I always found the base classic chrome to be a bit too dull). DR might have been 200… other than that, I don’t really remember. I’m sorry 😔

Hi James, great photos. What focus settings do you use on your xt5 for street photography? Mostly shooting in crowds I use asc, zone focus, photometry multi, aperture open minimum at 8 and I am not happy with the sharpness of the photos. (Fujinon 18mm 1.4). Thanks in advance. Jakub

@jamesford_jp 5 ай бұрын

Hey there, Jakub. I typically use AFS with the small point and shoot at 1/500ss and adjust the aperture depending on exposure. This works for me most of the time. I've never used the 18 mm 1.4, but I can’t imagine it being widely different in quality from the 23 mm 1.4 LM WR, which is what I use most of the time and have found to be excellent. Do you use Capture One or Lightroom? That may also be a factor… I hated how my photos looked in LR.

@jakub8095 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for the quick response. I am using LR and the fuji old firmware (2.01?). I am afraid to upgrade the camera to the new version because of autofocus problems. I also noticed an interesting thing. The same lens, manual mode, aperture 16 shows a very narrow range of focus. Maybe is a bug. Thanks for your help!

@jamesford_jp 5 ай бұрын

I’m on the latest firmware for the X-T5 and haven’t noticed a discernible difference in AF performance… but I’ve always found AFS to be more reliable than AFC, and I think AFC is what most people complain about. For the time being tho, you probably don’t need to upgrade unless you really want Reala Ace.

Hi James, thank you for this further beautiful insight into one of the many festivals that take place in Tokyo at this time of year. In this video it is particularly charming to be able to observe the water effects. You have taken some very good photos, yes!! For example 3:55 how happy the child is!! 4:28 and 6:31 looks like snow instead of rain. 5:04 there seems to be brief eye contact between the two of you. I also like this snapshot 5:16 - the woman with the hat and the little girl having fun. 5:49 a beautiful photo! 6:54 as well. I like the alternation between situation photography and portraits picked out from the crowd. 9:19 so beautiful - this happy child! My favorite is this photo 9:44 - how this little child stands there full of contentment, as if it is completely absorbed in this little branch that it is holding in its hand, as if the surroundings are not important at this moment. And on top of that it is standing on the rainbow - how beautiful!! I was hoping you would take a special photo of it as you walked towards it. A really beautiful situational photo!! But my second favorite is at 9:50, also beautifully captured, this cheerful and happy child who is completely focused on the here and now! Thank you very much, James, for showing us this lively, happy atmosphere, wish you a nice weekend and all the best - モニカ

I’m glad you enjoyed it, Monika! I was so happy to be at this festival for the first time during the main event, since the last time I tried to go, I misread the schedule and went after the water throwing part, so it seemed kinda dead and boring. Thankfully, this year I managed to make it on time AND it was absolutely amazing! 😆

Wow! This looks like so much fun! Love the snaps! The part where you say "pack up" had ME nervous. I was like, "what's going to happen? Will they flood your camera?" And I agree with you that it's fun to show people (like me here in Boston) what it's like over there for a very unique festival.

@koobs4549 5 ай бұрын

If you’re going to shoot at night, you kind of have to use the snap focus feature. Street photography benefits most from using zone focusing. Your depth of field correlates to how much & what part of the frame is in focus. The snap focus options are more or less, the digital version of the zone focus method on a manual camera. It even gives you a bar to tell you how much of the DoF zone will be in focus. Then you just wait for your subject to be within that space & every time you click the shutter, you’ll know it’s tack sharp. It’s a game changer once you get the technique down

See what you mean about the GRIII at low light. I've got both. I *usually* take the X-T5 for bigger events. But I *was* thinking about using the GRIII for concerts. Maybe I'll reconsider.

@jamesford_jp 5 ай бұрын

It’s not impossible to use the GRIII… but the X-T5 would definitely be more reliable 😅

@koobs4549 5 ай бұрын

You should try using the snap focus feature, it’s basically a digital representation of zone focusing. It gives you a bar to help visualize the distances within the frame that will be in focus. Once you know your min focus distance, your pictures will be sharp as long as the subject is within that zone of focus. The best part is that you never have to wait for AF or even mess with manual focusing at all.

@fredschmidt8609 5 ай бұрын

I know what you mean about 28&35. With my X-T5, I use Sports Finder mode for a 29% crop, both jpg & raw. It gives 23(35-ish) FOV with my 18 1.4 with a push of a Fn button. The X-T5 might have been better considering the 3-way tilt screen.

@jamesford_jp 5 ай бұрын

Yeah… it can be a bit off putting just how small things appear on 18 mm when you’re not close enough, compared to 23 mm at least. Also, never thought about using Sports Mode like that. Nice trick!
