Let me know what your guys’ next travel destination is! And what camera setup you’re packing! 😎

Started taking pictures of interesting people in the overcrowded instagram spots. That’s how I met my wife. She was with her school mates at the Eiffel Tower. I thought she was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen wearing a yellow summer dress and cool shades. After she noticed me snapping away she finally said, “May I see the pictures u took?” The rest is a fairy tale. My soul mate ❤

[@ehwestonful]

FINALLY, a video that's Not about the Lumix S9 rollout. Thank you Jason.

[@JasonVong]

😅 I wasn’t invited (un)fortunately

[@eric.p.merlin3537]

@@JasonVongnot invited by Panasonic .. but by Fuji Nice views of Mount Fuji 🗻 btw

[@jaegerschtulmann]

I have one more tip for you, using a tripod take at least 10-15 pictures of the same composition ( each picture is taken every 10 or 15 seconds apart, no ND filter needed, just fix white balance). Then using photoshop you can combine them using the average function, it will remove the people unless the place was as crowded as a taylor swift concert. This method is great for places like the eiffel tower or landmarks that are usually crowded during the day

Loved seeing more of Vivian in this video. Great tips, as usual. All the best.

[@Daniel_Zalman]

5:42...I could sure use that tip...both in photography and in life, generally.

[@sufij]

Awesome video Jason! Love your positive outlook and laidback attitude 🙌🏼

[@JasonVong]

Thank you!! 🥹

[@zettepix2009]

Awesome tips. I love your dynamism.

[@buck02]

perfect timing for my upcoming Italy trip 🤣

[@JasonVong]

Have fun! Which part of Italy? Dolomites was my favorite!

[@toomanyhobbies400]

Great tips! Would be nice if Vivien had more screen time. Spent two weeks on the Oregon coast with my Sony A6000. 85% of my shots done with the Sony 18-135 OSS. That OSS stabilization was truly helpful when zoomed in and taking shots on windy beaches and other view points.

[@thejohnringo]

Wow, what great suggestions! Also, Jason, your positive attitude is inspiring.

[@JasonVong]

Ty! 🥹

[@dobrinagavazova1786]

Thank you for this … great tips!!

[@Coatsey007]

Jason, a really good video, thank you. I’m currently in Athens, then going to Istanbul and then Cappadocia so this was perfect timing.

[@JasonVong]

Have a great time! You will get some great photos for sure!

[@mchammer5592]

Dude 2 sec timer to keep from shake for long exposure. I’m such and idiot, why have I never thought of that. Thanks!

[@MihaiiPop]

Sometimes I’ll even use the 10 sec timer to make sure it’s not moving whatsoever.

[@Daniel_Zalman]

I look forward to all of your videos. You share really super useful tips and ideas and both of you are so warm and positive....and...occasionally funny. Zing!

[@la5150hi-lophoto]

What I hate is people who really think they're photographers using cellphones and they take forever to take a damn shot.

[@RikMaxSpeed]

Lots of really helpful cool tips. Kudos! 🎉

[@biishoyyy]

Hey Jason! Will you be making a review video of the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 dg dn ii??

[@Pickle_Surpr1se]

I’m in Japan and the crowds are unreal… got away from the big cities and it got much better.

[@bimmerfan2126]

yep, got great fall color shots on the stairs at Arakurayama Park (and from the famous photo spot at the top ;)

[@kh1188ish]

Looking good, you two!

[@michael2968]

tip 8: take your shot and move on. the crowds would thin out more if people didnt just stand there for 15 minutes.

[@hoanglong-nv6wv]

I going to singapore next week. Honestly. The thing makes me worry the most is my wife complaining i cant properly shoot any good photos for her. Thank so much

[@CasianoMarcos]

Try duct tape

[@enerico]

Loool is that patkay. Also special mention, I love how you started making more videos where Vivian is integrated. I love it!

[@JasonVong]

That is!

[@heredownunder]

Yes, all good tips. If there are only a few people, I will also use Photoshop to edit them out by using multiple images.

[@GiNodrog]

Brilliant video thanks.

[@Daniel_Zalman]

Ooh, the technique at 1:00 reminds me of a War Kong Wai technique from Chungking Express!

[@JasonVong]

Oh yeah that guy loves his slow shutter speed 😄

[@watkinsphoto]

This is a really helpful video with a lot of great tips. Thanks.

[@MartinV.]

Great Video!

[@111ch1a1d111]

If you don't have an ND, you can just shoot video with 360 degree shutter angle and combine (average or median) frames in post.

[@Daniel_Zalman]

Jason, how many lenses are you guys carrying with you on a trip (not the top amount that you pack, but the number that you are waking around with)? Thanks. If you could share which ones, that would also be greatly appreciated!

[@JasonVong]

I do have a video coming out talking about my everyday kit but it’s nothing on lenses. But I typically enjoy the 24/85 combo a lot!

[@Daniel_Zalman]

@@JasonVong Interesting. After recently getting a 50mm GM f/1.4 to pair with my Sony a7IV...i feel like i made a mistake. I should've gotten a 35 and then an 85. 50 is great, but it's a jack of all trades and master of none. I've heard great things about the 24mm but I've never worked with something that wide. Composing with a 24mm would be a challenge. Not sure what to do....ah, first world problems!

[@korishensi6456]

Was that Pat Kay at the end?

[@JasonVong]

good eye! 👀

[@carlosandreviana9448]

Most Zoom lenses are too heavy to carry when traveling. If you are a nikon user, get now the 28-400

[@sleepyricky4826]

The biscuit, it's all about...the BISCUIT

[@dumspyrospero]

...or dont go to Japan and simply avoid these kind of crowds😂Just kidding! It is an amazing place to visit but I have to admit the crowds there are next-level!

[@JD-nt2sc]

I've been to all 47 prefectures, enjoy the cities & major tourist sites, really love places far off the beaten path. Takes research, sometimes luck, to find them.

[@costafilh0]

"Get AMAZING PHOTOS in CROWDED PLACES" ME: reaches for the 400mm

[@JasonVong]

That would make the crowds into a nice blurry foreground 😎

[@BitcoinNiners]

I’m curious, is the voiceover not in sync with the video meant to be intentional?

[@wroste]

Nice 🙂

[@rcdhi1g]

A good idea, but people need to learn to go on days outside of national holidays and less popular places that have less population and are less popular. Out of season are the best days and avoid Saturdays and Sundays as they will be more pleasant for you. If you want to help the Japanese, visit areas with little population as it helps the local economy, which has little population and income.

[@JasonVong]

In an ideal situation, yes absolutely go when it's not as crowded but unfortunately many people have only so many days off and usually it's around the same time as everyone else. Since the borders opened up, Japan has been a hot spot. Can't fault newcomers for wanting to visit the central spots like Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, etc. And being in a crowd sucks but I've hung around non-photographers when Tokyo's at their busiest and my friends didn't mind the crowd, in fact, they didn't even think how clustered it was. They were just excited to be there. That's when I realized it was all about the mindset.

[@rcdhi1g]

@@JasonVong I could show other parts of Japan that are not so well known and that have beautiful photogenic landscapes for us to discover. The large cities Kyoto, Tokyo, Osaka, Okinawa and Hokkaido are already well known. But there must be more cool places you should visit. Could you show us Jason in the next videos?

[@VynZography]

When I go somewhere with too many people I just start taking pictures of the people 😂😂😂😂

[@JasonVong]

That’s what street photography is all about !

[@ferdiyansurya]

can we just stop at 0:10 and find out how to call Thanos?

[@JasonVong]

Need to gather the infinity stones 💪

[@ww9099]

Crowd GONE… only VONG

[@ronjatter]

He does take photos of people and things and stuff

[@wilburyuen]

Can I get back on your discord?

[@justinmilton6857]

You know Pat Kay? He's awesome :)

[@JasonVong]

Yep I was just on his podcast too! 🥹

[@rcdhi1g]

Uma boa idéia, mas as pessoas precisam aprender a ir em dias fora dos feriados nacionais e lugares menos populares que tem menos população e menos badalados . Fora de temporada são os melhores dias e evite os sábados e domingos pois vai ser mais agradável a vocês. Se querem ajudar o japoneses visitem áreas com pouca população pois ajuda a economia local que tem pouca população e renda .

[@meat_loves_wasabi]

No.8 just avoid touristy places
