FUJIFILM X100F - Travel Photography in Penang, Malaysia

[@zalws]

Thanks for showing the beauty in this part of my country! You inspired me to return to Penang for more photography now!

[@small.towns.open.spaces]

Joe, I'd love to see a review of the XE-3 and comparing it to the X100F. Wonderful vlog as always.

[@BradleyBaker]

agree. do it.

[@sergeikozitskii4426]

agree, would also be cool to see xe-3 vs x-t20

[@mattchan2897]

Agree

[@lomojeep]

Please do the comparison!

[@simonkleinhesselink2957]

Agree!

[@solarsoundsystem]

Thanks for using my track Joe! 🙏

[@joeallam]

No worries; thank _you_ for the awesome track! Your timing for sending it to me couldn't have been better - cheers! P.S. I hope you're enjoying your X100F if you've got it yet 👍

[@razerville]

Ah my home !!! Thanks for documenting Penang so well. It's kinda hard to shoot in your home town. You have gave me inspiration again. It's also ashame I did bump into you 😁

[@dejanromih7913]

This is not even quality of a vlog anymore. It's much more! It's a artistic movie! Incredible 🔥

[@joeallam]

Thanks for the kind words, I'm always looking to up my game and glad I took the extra time with this vlog!

[@mlykke]

I'd love to hear your opinion on the X-E3m especially it's pros and cons compared to the X100F.

[@andonigallego9311]

Yes! Please do a review and compare the cameras!

[@_louisetee_]

Omg you finally came to Malaysia! *I'm Malaysian

[@joeallam]

We made it! It didn't disappoint either!

[@_louisetee_]

Glad that you like Penang!! Penang is such a historical place and the foods are so famous there too! Have you tried the local asam laksa or char kue teow?

[@zulfadzli]

Yessss

[@andrew1977uk]

I love my F, such a portable cameras. Since going fujifilm, I've always shot manually with my ISO, F stop and Shutter Speed. This definitely makes you more aware of your settings.

[@juliaegging9334]

Hi Joe, I'm Julia and 13 yrs old and photography is like my fav thing ever and I have my own website and I love taking pictures!! You are one of my biggest inspiration and keep me motivated and give me tips!! I just wanted to let u know❤️📸

[@jason15709]

I can't tell you in words how much i love the opening of this!

[@charliefarley74]

Love your blogs Joe. Nice to see Penang again. Visited there back in 1993 with the Navy.

[@PinkBlueStripe]

Congratulations on another wholesome adventure with your adorable X100F.

[@elpinto7]

I would definitely be interested in a comparison and a review of the X-E3 with the X100F

[@tambaididi]

Welcome to Penang! Lovely video on Penang, my hometown! I was born and raised in Penang, now working in Singapore. Hope to join you in some street photoshooting in Singapore!

[@ILLOUMINATI]

Please do a review comparing the XE-3 to the X100F! Been going back and forth trying to decide what to get.

[@mieyamelissa2286]

I used to live in Penang during my childhood. Looking at your photograph give me a different perspective of Penang. Great photos. Now I'm thinking of getting my self the X100F and go back to Penang and shoot some photos in Georgetown myself. That would be really interesting.

[@TeriyakiMr]

Joe has the Best vlog format ever. The way you sort the scene is just not boring ! Love it !

[@mickgissane9181]

Reminds me of my trip to Penang, happy times.

[@chubschhuon]

Are the first 2 mins filmed with the GH5 & 12-60? Great intro video for the vlog with superb audio editing. Really neat to see a highlight of the everyday things that occur in George Town, Penang along with your great street photography.

[@joeallam]

Yep! All the video was filmed with the GH5 and 12-60, and all photos with the X100F. I too love seeing the everyday life in a new area - I feel it's the best way to get an understanding of the local culture and vibe of a place!

[@user-bn1kl8hb4x]

To be honest... Ur the best of the best travel photographers bro Loving that.. Joe Keep traveling... Dazzling us❤️

[@matthewwatt3650]

Beautifully shot mate and yes please a review.

[@anomaly.3860]

Your cinematics are on point. It’s what keeps me coming back. Great job!

[@maisarahtarmuzi4409]

Aaaahh finally you were in my country. Do not hesitate to come again! Thank you for coming🤗

[@hfiguiere]

X-E3 vs X100F: I saw in my sub box that one of the Fujifilm channels released *today* a video on that same topic - before your vlog.

[@joeallam]

Ah interesting, I'll see if I can find it and see what they have to say. They're such similar cameras, but one has interchangeable lenses, and the other has a leaf shutter plus hybrid viewfinder!

[@hfiguiere]

If you have trouble locating, the one I'm talking about is from "The Fuji Guys". They are the Canadian Fuji people. (I haven't watched it yet)

[@ianjb7466]

Hi Joe, Welcome to Penang, my adopted home expat from UK... Hope you enjoyed your time here. Great content as always. take care

[@Fernsucht]

Great Video about Penang. It’s so so beautiful have fun discovering this beautiful City and Island.

[@khairulafzahidah4105]

I hope you can visit Kuching Sarawak here in Malaysia one day. For me Kuching has similar scenery with Penang where you will see old shop houses, street art, old British buildings and etc. Recommended place to go in Kuching Sarawak for photography; Kuching Waterfront, Carpenter Street, India Street, Old Court House, New Sarawak Museum Complex, Malaysia-China Friendship Park and Bako National Park. I’m sure you are going to love it! 😊

[@weijun90]

Welcome to Malaysia, hope you had fun here. Great content as usual!

[@dejashu]

So great to see Malaysia through your eyes! I MISS JELLY.

[@coltonlee8869]

[@joeallam]

Miss you too, Shu! Looking forward to catching up when you're back in London!

[@stmrjs]

should head down to malacca too! jonker's walk to the red square.

[@shed911cookiesgarage2]

Nice video Joe, keep them coming, really enjoyed this one :)

[@skandahooligan88]

+1 for the XE3 review

[@-grey]

spoiler: It’s exactly the same as the X-T20, but the touchscreen is mildly more functional. And the EVF is just over there a little bit. The sensor is the same as the X100F also. So yeah, if you need OVF: 100F. If you need to switch lenses: E3.

[@GamerNxUSN]

100f has a leaf shutter and built in ND filter. So if flash sync and quiet shutter is important to you...

[@flatulent-1]

Yes to the review and comparison. Also if you think either of these would be compelling to an xpro2 owner.

[@AlejoStorni]

You and Ben Brown are the only 2 KZbinrs I'll drop whatever I'm doing to watch your videos. Such amazing cinematography and photography and very inspiring

[@joeallam]

That's amazing! I'm a big fan of Ben's content - been a fan of his for years!

[@SuperCocoKrunch]

My hometown! I wish I could have met you while you were here. I hope you had a great time in Malaysia. Great video as always!

[@sbutler66]

What a great location. Always thought Malaysia to be very photogenic having read Robin Wong's blog for years. Must get out there myself. Also, yes please on the XE3 thoughts

[@joeallam]

Malaysia was utterly beautiful! I definitely fell in love with Penang!

[@headwounddani]

Yes please, for the X-E3 review!

[@Thomas_Geist]

Not real sure what the lens hood shape has to do with the sensor coverage. I’ll get one if you can explain that. I put the X-70 hood on my X100F and it works fine and looks just as cool, but if your getting better results I want one.

[@joeallam]

The different shape is simply about more coverage, although it is subtle. Think of it this way: a circular lens produces a circular image, yet we only expose onto a rectangle sensor. The top and bottom of the imaging circle are mostly lost in this crop. The same can be said for a circular lens hood. It's circular to fit around the lens, however, its effect is reduced simply because it's shading an area of the imaging circle that doesn't even get exposed onto the sensor. A square lens hood generally reaches in much tighter on the top and bottom of the imaging circle and matches closer to the sensor area. That being said, if you've already got a lens hood, it's probably not worth going and getting another.

[@Thomas_Geist]

Joe Allam Thanks. I do use the way too expensive Fuji square hood on my 23mm f1.2 but do it cause it looks cool. Not, being a good Protestant, you’ve provided a needful reason so I feel better at least.

[@khalilikhazali8259]

Selamat datang ke malaysia bossku.

[@marcscott8809]

Another awesome video, i would like to know your thoughts on the Fujifilm x-e3 as i cant decide between the x-e3 and the x100f

[@SportingPwner]

Would love a vlog on the xh1 and how to deal with the eterna lut, awesome vlog as always! :)

[@joeallam]

Cheers! I actually tried to vlog a little when in Kuala Lumpur (filmed after this vlog) however it wasn't actually that successful and I didn't finish filming it. I'll try again another day though.

[@SportingPwner]

Joe Allam thanks mate! Pumped for it. Can't wait for your next vlog, the atmosphere is just always chill and pulls me in, have a great day!

[@DonnieGQX]

So you are using the GH5 for the vlogs correct? I have an XH1 but would love to figure out how out how to bring the best out of it for video.

[@shinobibct]

6:06 with effect or not? wow... its cool.. nice camera btw.

[@soon756]

The Malaysia vlog that I've have been waiting for 😱

[@outkastmedia7387]

I just ordered a xe3 so I'd like to see a video on it as well thanks!

[@NL0Gwenster]

Would love to hear the comparison between X100F & X-E3 from somebody that travels a lot. Both these camera's are on my shortlist for a compact travel setup. I do a lot of travel within Europe for my new job nowadays. 40% a month in either Paris, Zurich, London or Frankfurt. I have a dslr setup for my portraiture/urbanscapes. But that will be only used for that. For travel i want compactness so i can shoot scenes, or street with the VERY oceasional portrait. Im thinking X100F because the lens is fixed, 35mm is great for general use and the ND filter comes in handy (as shown here) - with the fixed lens makes the setup less protruding so better to store in a 5L bag. Plus i wont be stressing out what lens to bring/brought the right lens. Nor do i want to start collecting for a secondary system as i have enough pro glass on the FF side of things that will last me for my more professional usage. XE3 does have the "always on bluetooth" ; which paired with my unlimited 4G worldwide phone subscription gives me the option to have every snap i take uploaded the onedrive as i go. And be available on the phone for quick edit/upload. Realistically speaking i wouldnt do the "edit on the go" thing that much and not in bulk so if i really should put much emphesis on this i dont know. If i did get the XE3 it would only be ONE lens that i would buy for it. (23/2 or 35/2 WR)

[@joeallam]

Thanks for the insight! I'll definitely keep this in mind as a sample use case for how someone might be making their decision. The built-in ND filter really is one of the main things that separates these cameras in terms of usability for me. Of course there are other similar specs, but it's definitely a close call.

[@14596_]

Welcome to Malaysia ! Hope you had a great time :)

[@boeyworld]

Great video, Joe! Looking forward to see Fujifilm X E3. Thx.

[@lucascandido1473]

Please make a video about the fuji XE3!

[@AustinSchargorodski]

Would love an XE3 review! Great content as always, Joe. Malaysia looks so beautiful and full of charm. These vlogs are always such a relaxing, inspiring pleasure and I’ve gotta say, that lens hood looks soooo good on the X100F! Might look into one for my T.

[@_________4292]

Sound on intro is amazing Best from Poland x100 fan

[@ThereGoesSpider]

Yes, That would be a great comparison and of great interest... especially what Elly thinks since it’s her choice of camera. Great Cine’s at the beginning Thanks so much.🙏

[@tmorterlaing]

@Joe if you do an xe3 review thing can you show us the form factor with lenses vs the xe3?

[@acidsnow5915]

the fujifilm x100f is really a dope camera! it hope an update will come out soon! thanks for shairng this with us thanks

[@rexjack21190]

Welcome to Malaysia~ I got some cool places to share with you.There's a city called Taiping, is not too far away from Penang.There are some nice location for photography - Taiping Lake Garden, nature waterfalls and Maxwell Hill... Have fun~!!

[@boohaka]

Really nice classy intro to your video! I love what you're doing..

[@giancarlsoriano4246]

Oh please make a review on the X-E3!! I’m considering to buy that camera instead of the X-T100

[@Noealz]

Probably the only photography channel I truly enjoy~

[@EdPal]

I'll be Malaysia in a few weeks. Can't wait to take photos in Penang

[@bboy4life202]

love these! keep it up! do you have a video on what settings are best for street photography/portraits with this camera?

[@joeallam]

I do indeed! Check out this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJfcaWSkm82If9k

[@ZSproductionsMY]

Welcome to Malaysia!

[@jannylasmana6088]

Hi Joe, could you please do a review comparison between the X100F and XE-3. Big fan of your vlog and photos.

[@HogbergPhotography]

Nice video! I sometimes get a wierd striped pattern and heavy noise when I shoot backlit subjects, this makes the X100F almost useless to me, have you experienced this problem?

[@cindycrahardjo1899]

Hi Joe, Fuji X100F is also my travelling buddy now, and it's so great especially with your preset. For video, do you have a recommendation of what to use for vlogging? I'm new and need something practical though.

[@IzwanIzaniSoaffie]

Finally, Malaysia . Glad you come to malaysia 🤗

[@joeywied]

Can I use the Presets at Capture One as well? Great Video!

[@joeallam]

Unfortunately not. They're created specifically for Lightroom only. I personally have no experience with Capture One yet, so I wouldn't know where to start with creating a set for them.

[@sneaky_tom]

Greetings from Malaysia! Hope you guys are having a great time here.

[@fatgoose7830]

Great video! I like the length hood!! But I'm afraid it will block quite a big part of the OVF. Isn't it anoying when you take pictures? Please give some suggestion! Thx!!

[@Annemiesa]

boyyyyy bcs of you I'm about to purchase this camera... I really fell in love with ittttttt

[@Tissavdwissa]

quality stuff Joe! the colors look sooo good ^^

[@joeallam]

Thank you! I was really pleased with how the colours came out for this one! It actually was somewhat "effortless" when it came to grading these clips, as everything seemed to just look great in comparison to previous vlogs!

[@mhasbullah9151]

Wow welcome to Malaysia

[@timlumley]

Would love to see a review of the XE-3 as I'm considering one for myself, thanks!

[@andrewnoden9117]

Hi Joe,great vid. Love to see a review of the xe3

[@MrWeizhi926]

Omg it's my hometown Penang! Missing it so much after watching your video. It's really refreshing to look at Penang through your eyes too, loving the vibe! 🙏🙏

[@ghettysburg1239]

fantastic video. is your intro video shot with the x100f?

[@kolapyellow7631]

You have seas of knowledge. Amazing young man.

[@richardleroux9349]

Can I ask where you bought the rectangular lenses hood? It looks really retro and different! Great Vlog and great stills too : )

[@pindrop_]

Really like the opening for this vlog.

[@mzath3866]

My hometown in Penang, Malaysia. And most importantly I love fujifilm ♥️🇲🇾

[@fudinhashim4833]

You should go to The Canteen. Nice place to chill in Penang at Victoria Lane if I’m not mistaken. Thank you for coming to Malaysia. Ipoh, Perak got street art too. Enjoy yourself Joe!

[@amonrei]

Did you go to Melaka? Similar vibe as Penang & Singapore as they were part of the Straits Settlements back then.

[@joeallam]

Unfortunately not. I really wanted to, but we just ran out of time when we got to KL. Next time...

[@samacochan]

+2 for the XE 3 review. Thx.

[@gfefxw1]

Yes. I would like to see your review between XE-3 and X100F. Thank you. :)

[@rouvenkolodziej]

What metering did you use for those grear shots?

[@yokomo555]

Great vlog, would love to see a review between the 100F and X-E3. Keep up the good work.

[@NiaRossana]

my hometown! beautifully captured :)

[@brb1010]

DOPE! I'll be spending this weekend in Jakarta. And thanks man I'm giddy to see how my X100F performs!

[@tsuriranpu]

Went to the store to check out the fujifilm x100f today. They unfortunately didn't have it in silver anymore so I'll be getting it in the mail soon ;) Thank you for the great videos and photography. You really helped my decision to go for it.

[@Dragon8oy]

Love the square lens hood. Was wondering if it interferes with the built-in flash?

[@joeallam]

To be honest, I have no idea. I've never once used the built-in flash, so it's not really a concern for me.

[@richdt]

Dragon8oy ... don’t know about the square one but the round one does on my X100F.

[@vattolinos]

great one☺️ thx! please your thoughts on the x-e3!

[@gaatzaat]

XE3 is on my shortlist, a review would be great

[@PhilipRice]

Great vid, I love this format! Yes, please review and compare xe3 to X100F.

[@j.flaner8506]

Loved this video! I'm a new subscriber. Also, what did you film this video with?

[@picklesnorf101]

Would definitely LOVE an XE3 review.

[@pinguinsudpol5120]

I know this video is like 3 years old and you also have some editing videos but I just got the X100F and would like to know what setttings you did use there or are using in general. Is it a tweaked Classic Chrome setting? The photos look kinda like a movie but even better with a specific style. Thank you.

[@amourparfait7]

Do you ever use a filter for the x100f or just strictly the lens hood? Cheers.

[@david9172]

Can you do the video showing recommended website selling Fuji's camera strap?

[@intrud3rx]

Were you shooting raw or jpeg? I mean for the before and after photos

[@wesshinn1]

How do you travel so much? I love your work and videos tho.

[@bunkerbradley2293]

Just picked up a second hand x100f with 100 shutter count!!! Thought about an ex-2. Can’t wait for your review and comparison of xe-3. You and Ellie/Elly(?) should do a side by side review together as she is the regular xe-3 user!

[@eimankhai]

Yes this is my country! Im so glad you’re here. Hope u enjoyed Malaysia! 😆
