2000KM Around New Zealand with the X100V

[@feetfirstspeks]

A visual treat enhanced with natural sound and minimal use of canned music. Excellent. Well done.

[@derekchuan]

Beautifully simple showcasing what New Zealand has to offer!

[@dpierre]

I am moved by the beauty of the concept, the tansitions, the photos, the sound of birds or natural elements. What an inspiration and what a talent^^

[@JayRegular]

Thankyou for the kind words Didier 🙏

[@duprebushnell2488]

love how "raw and authentic" your vids feel. no cheesy background music...just sounds from the environment and great footage along with great photos.

[@gildho95]

Bravo super documentaire, très belles photos et ambiance très agréable. 👀

Nice work mate, I know how much time and effort goes into these sorts of videos - well done!! Some great photos and some cool locations and coffee!

[@JayRegular]

Cheers! As a fellow creative, you know 😉

[@narelle4868]

I enjoyed your holiday. Thanks for letting me tag along, albeit vicariously. Beautifully put together and I loved your stills. You captured a lot of the wow factor of NZ.

[@JayRegular]

It's definitely a place worth revisiting, so many unexplored places I wanted to shoot

[@narelle4868]

@@JayRegular NZ is still on my bucket list. I was planning a trip but then Covid arrived. Back to planning.

[@desoriordan9515]

Thank you for making the video.

[@squatCS]

Wow I had to pause at 13:14 and admire how beautiful it is, great video and photos 👏

[@georgechen1124]

Masterpiece!! Love it!! Recently got X-T1(+XF35mm f/1.4) and can't wait to take it to NZ.

[@JayRegular]

Lovely! Definitely recommend shooting in astia or velvia 😁

[@itsahoax]

congratulations Jay, nicely crafted, look forward to your next destination

[@paul-erikhansen5769]

Beautiful video and pictures, having done this trip many years ago, your work just makes me wanting to go back.... thanks a lot for sharing

[@JayRegular]

Hopefully not much of the landscape has changed since the last time, NZ is a place of untouched beauty

[@Kip2345]

Not going to lie, I needed that, well done Jay.

[@JayRegular]

Thanks Kieran 🙏

[@alexnicolopoulos9797]

Your video was amazing!the scenes, the photographs between the shots, it was all so nice and mixed!I m also a x100v and I love this machine.i felt you in this video and I think that this special feeling that I got when I photograph with the x100v is inside all of us that we experiencing it.well done!

[@TheKnifeFight]

A meditative story. Well done!

[@richardrandolph9794]

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@timsouter1]

Great stuff man, looks like a lovely time away. Hard pressed to pick a favourite photo.

[@JayRegular]

It's just one of those countries where you point at any direction with the camera and it's a landscape vibe

[@dennisng4627]

Jay, simply visually beautiful, technically masterful &, of all, sensory immersive. Perhaps a photo book of your NZ journey? ✌🏼& 📸 18:28

No photobook, but maybe a zine? 😏

[@LucyS565]

Very well made video! Well done Jay! I really enjoyed this! Incredible shots!

[@JayRegular]

Thankyou Lucy 🙏

[@johnny8353]

i live in new zealand and im currently saving up for the x100v...this video just 100% solidified me buying the camera because the photos are just *chefs kiss*. hope you enjoyed your holiday here in aotearoa!

[@JayRegular]

Just make sure you don't buy it for the current inflated price and you find it around the RRP! A few of the photos were taken on the xt4 with zoom lenses, but my most favourite photos were all off the x100v, I just love the natural look to the 35mm fov

[@aisdhgaoi3qea]

@@JayRegular Its currently AUD$2000. How much is it in NZ? What would you recommend the correct price to purchase it is?

[@JayRegular]

When it was first released in 2020 it was AUD$1400 so unless you can find a used one for that price today, I wouldn't really spend an extra 600 for it...

[@lmglange]

Fantastic and enjoyable style og video. Just pictures, sounds and b-role’ish… and no talking. Love it 😍👍👍

[@JayRegular]

Thanks man!

[@colinwest5496]

Thanks Alan!

[@stratocactus]

Almost 20min and it passed so fast ! That was beautiful Jay. You're quite a good landscape photographer I may say (apart from your street photography we see most often). Loved it.

[@JayRegular]

Thanks Julien, I love taking landscapes while on holidays, very therapeutic compared to faster pace of street 😁

[@AlexOnStreets]

I really enjoyed this man. Relaxing ;)

[@JayRegular]

Cheers Alex 🙇🏻‍♂️

What an experience, loved it 🤩

[@Pierrick101]

Just … WOW ! Your diary is so calming and beautifuly produced ! Very inspiring ! I need to visit NZ asap ! Great work ! Ps: the sky at night with the stars .. with the X100v ? Wow !

[@JayRegular]

Thankyou! The night sky was not taken with the x100v, it was with the xt4

[@Havenotats]

I love the direction your videos are heading, Keep it up Jay this was superb ✨

[@JayRegular]

Thanks Tats! 🙏

[@ivunchow]

Well done man! You captured some beautiful scenes. New Zealand looks amazing 😍

Cheers! Needs a part 2, I missed out on Milford sound 😔

[@TheBigNegative-PhotoChannel]

Wow really great travel video and the transitions were awesome. 😯 Especially the intro was really well done. It was certainly also a really great trip for you. 👌

Imagine how jealous I was at the onsen spa. I had to get the broll before I could jump in 😭🤣

[@changez77654]

Top effort mate! Would love to hear you talk about the experience of making such a big project. I would love to undertake something even half as ambitious as this, but dont even know where to begin

[@JayRegular]

Haha thanks man, you are one of the very few who actually want to know 😄 I might make a video about that in the future

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

well done Jay! looks like you had really nice trip to NZ!!

[@JayRegular]

You would love NZ! The landscape potential is very high

[@NR-cm2nw]

Would love to know how you do the panoramic shots -beautiful photos.

[@JayRegular]

Longer focal length lens, manual focus, take a sequence of shots that overlap slightly with each other, import into Photoshop and use the merge function

[@mivecore]

Sittin here in an airport watching this, wishing I could make travel videos like this.

[@JayRegular]

Time to get into video 🎞️

[@JayElle-mq3bs]

Hey mate, beautiful photos - what recipes did you use to take the landscape shots? They look great :)

[@firstMillo]

Hey Jay! Really amazing journey and great work either in videography or photography. Very enjoyable to watch... :-) Are you using a pro mist or glimmer glass filter by the way? Cheers!

[@JayRegular]

Thanks Kamil. Yes, I did use a mist filter 😁 love the softness it delivers

[@firstMillo]

Cool! Yeah it really gives a smoother look. I consider the Tiffen Glimmerglass 1... As I see your stunning landscape shots: Did you ever consider the wide conversion lens for your X100V? I am still not sure if I should spend the money because I sold my X-S10 so it might become a valuable companion for my "lonely" camera :-)

[@JayRegular]

No I haven't tried the wide conversion for the x100v, I'm on the fence about it. I bought the x100v because I didn't want to think about changing lenses, buying a wide adapter makes decision making harder 🤣

[@firstMillo]

Hehe, that's exactly the reason why I kept the X100V only and did not pull the trigger on the WCL yet :-P And then the price of course...

[@Heyitsjacquii]

Your video and photography makes me wanna go out and shoot! So beautifully captured ,,😍 what lens did you use for recording the videos?

[@JayRegular]

Thanks! For the video I mostly shot with the Fuji 18-55 f2.8-4, I also used the viltrox 13mm F1.4

[@Tahusaco]

Nice work! I was at the exact same spot in 7:45. If you have to pick, which one if your favourite place in NZ?

[@JayRegular]

Hard to pick just one! I would say Twizel/lake tekapo were my most memorable ones

[@SivertAlmvik]

Nice video essay! :)

[@JayRegular]

Thankyou! 👊👊

[@felzebub1762]

Hi Jay. I enjoyed your video on those settings for Fuji. Saw your vids on xs10 primarily as I'm thinking of getting one myself. Just wanting to ask, as a beginner I havent fully done much of street photography and would like to start one with Fuji. I was from Sony rx100. Envy that you got x100v, as it is out of stock, was thinking of xs10s or xt30ii. Could you recommend? I'd like to bring a camera for travelling, photos and some video too. Thanks! Ps. What did you record this video with, is it xs10? Tks!

[@JayRegular]

If you want to do everything with one camera, I would recommend the xs10, I shot this video with the xt4, it has better video capabilities

[@paulchapman1168]

Great vid well done. Did you do the astro with the x100v. I have one and an xt4 16/55mm and 70/300mm

[@JayRegular]

Thanks Paul, I could have done it with the x100v, but the battery life would have not held up, and I didn't have a power bank. So I used the xt4 with viltrox 13mm f1.4 phenomenal lens

[@tonymurphy9112]

Did you shoot the video with the Fuji?

[@JayRegular]

Yes I did, with the X-T4
