Fujifilm Street Photography at Night - Soho, London

[@joeallam]

*Happy new year, everyone!* This vlog was filmed at the beginning of December and I'm so happy to start the year off fresh with no backlog! For those wondering, URBAN STONE vol.2 is _almost_ finished... I should have the collection ready imminently and you'll find them at allam.co/presets. I'm just finalising the details for how they work in Capture One, alongside Lightroom. Sign up to my emails for the latest updates joeallam.co.uk/subscribe Stay tuned... ✌

This is immensely helpful! We just arrived in London, but I take it we just missed ya? :( Either way, this makes for some good inspo! Happy New Year, Joe!

[@jeremyjs8863]

You’re happy because you’re smashing it. Great pics !

[@haju3337]

You do very good videos 👍🏼 and impressions of your photography. Thanks for this. Do you make also a new CARRY BAG / TECH BAG 2022 Video?

[@ByteReview]

Lovely set of photos in this one, great work!

[@joeallam]

Cheers, Tom! Definitely one of my most successful evenings for photos!

[@RawkustvOfficial]

There was something about the tempo of this video which just hit right. Great images 👏

[@joeallam]

Cheers - I knew at the time of filming this one it was gonna have a good pace. Everything just flowed so well and I was in such a good mood too. It’s amazing how far that alone can take a video!

[@shakkaphillips2444]

Great Vlog Joe. Any chance of you doing another Q&A?

[@hulobok]

Happy new year Joe and Ella! Wishing both a happy healthy and safe year!! Thanks for all the videos, really brightens up my day.

[@joeallam]

Cheers and a happy new year to you too! Elly and I are hoping for a big year here on KZbin - glad you’ve been enjoying the vlogs lately! ✌️

[@mikeyjhn]

You get lovely colours in your pix. I am very new to Fuji having just bought an x-e3 with 18, 23, 35 and 18-55 and am struggling to get it setup as the menu for me is pretty confusing. Used Canon for 20 years and now use a Sony A7 and thought that menu was bit difficult but the fuji!!! As a normal way of working where do you set the highlight/shadow tones as well as colour, sharpness, noise reduction etc? Do you always use your presets? I enjoy watching your videos.

[@MrBritishGent]

Some great images in that collection!

[@SamFournier]

Happy New Year Joe and Elly! You two have been so consistent with the videos lately and my husband and I have truly been enjoying them. You got so many amazing shots and it was really inspiring. I hope I can one day get over my fear of capturing strangers on the streets because those are always my favorite photos. Cheers to a new year and hopefully the beginning of travel.

[@joeallam]

Thanks Sam and happy new year to you and Paul! Definitely feeling a growing momentum and truly hope it can be the start of a big year for us. 8 years into this now and I feel like I’m just getting started 👊

[@tesalsangma]

Happy New Year, Joe! Amazing pics. 🤗

[@joeallam]

Thanks, Tesal! Happy new year to you too!

[@carolinezaramati9193]

I love night photography 🤩, and those are lovely images! Do you have a preferred recipe for night shooting?

[@SalwanJBinni]

Excellent

[@IanWilkinson]

Happy New Year to you both! Takes me back to the early '70s, when I used to work in Soho Square, although the Bath House pub in Dean Street seems to have given way to Crossrail ;-)

[@joeallam]

Oh wow, I bet Soho in the 70s was such a vibe! I always enjoyed my time at agencies when they were based in the area. After work drinks haven’t been the same since leaving, but the other perks make up for it! Happy new year too!

[@theronsan]

Nice shots :) Happy New Year!

[@R8135003]

Hi Joe, you have spoken about damping down streets and in this video it is a dry day. A tip from Scott Kelby is to crank up Clarity to 100% and brush over the streets and footpaths then repeat. This will give a wet look to the selected areas. Keep up the good work. Be lucky stay safe.

[@cliveeariss880]

Greetings and a happy new year to you both, great place to walk talk and enjoy love soho, as always some cools shots, love the lights,, its a place for grab shots, dont think just take, your looking well, hi Elly not forgetting you, look forward to all your videos, and keep inspiring us, be safe be well, and most of all be happy.

[@joeallam]

Don’t think, just take - love that! Happy new year Clive; thanks so much for all your continued support over the years. It honestly means so much to us. Here’s to another year of growth! Safe, well and happy, for sure!

[@angelksaxena]

Joe, had a question for you. I use the R5 for vlogging as well, and I have to keep the Image stabalisation OFF on my lens ( Which i think also disables IBIS ) because otherwise there is just too much wobble, I use the RF 15-35 2.8. It wobbles even when i am standing and holding the camera at myself. So I see you walking with your R5, and I wonder how it doesnt trouble your vids, also they dont loook tooo shaky so I dont think you keep the IS off. So, please help me out on the settings front.

[@bennyk6705]

Great set... Happy New Year!

[@joeallam]

Cheers! Very happy with the images I captured and the sheer number of them too! Happy new year ✌️

[@bhikhta]

Happy 2022 Joe 🥂

[@joeallam]

Hoping for a big year! Let’s get it 👊

[@paulfournierphoto]

Happy New Year! Love the shots is this vlog. Really makes me eager to shot night photography but the south of France is really dark and there is no lights or neon around… may 2022 be the year travel opens up again! 🍻🤞🏻

[@joeallam]

Happy new year to you too! I always love night photography, but know exactly how you feel when there just isn’t enough light to balance it out. It’s even harder when filming it as there’s less flexibility for boosting the exposure/brightness. I actually find London to be quite dark haha!

[@paulfournierphoto]

@@joeallam yes it is except maybe Soho and Square Mile maybe?! Your Japan night and rain photography vlog is one of my favorite as well with neon colored lights and reflections on the ground 👌🏻📸

[@rymack5715]

Top notch vlog, Joe! Those shots are pretty much all bangers! 😯 Happy new year to you and Elly! ♥️

[@joeallam]

Cheers Ryan! Honestly surprised myself with the amount of images I was happy with. Took so long to edit them all haha! HNY ✌️

[@rl6552]

Happy New Year to the both of you! Loved the video and obviously back from Malta. Great vibe in this video production. One question. I noticed you look to be using the lens hood style typically available for the 23/35mm. Is their a hood for the the 46mm diameter found on the 50mm F2 or did you adapt to make it fit? If so what did yo use? Love the 50mm F2 but not so crazy about the supplied lens hood. Thank you,

[@joeallam]

Cheers! Yep, Malta feels like a distant memory since October, but glad we managed to get the trip in. The lens hood I use is a third party one: amzn.to/3FNW4v3 You'll have to double check size you need as they offer multiple options.

[@rl6552]

@@joeallam Many thanks!

[@bosiefoobar]

is the new presets set taking advantage of the "new" LR masks feature?

[@thecasualphotographer]

Happy new year!

[@joeallam]

Happy new year to you too!

[@gurkandegirmencioglu9881]

Really good editing, noone can distinguish from film type photography.

[@joeallam]

Cheers! Everything seemed to come together really well for me with this one ✌️

[@laflanerie4430]

Getting some serious London fomo!! Aside the sweaty air 😂😂

[@jeremyfielding2333]

Real neon making a comeback in London. All those signs looked like the real thing not digital LED.

[@Robert.Macdonald]

Happy New Year Merry Christmas Joe! Apparently the name Soho London is different from NYC SoHo which came from the area being So uth of Ho uston Street.

[@rogeryoung3587]

10:35 Who knew!

[@joeallam]

Yep! Another one is SoHo in Hong Kong - South of Hollywood Road. Happy new year too!

[@hassanscottodierno9284]

I can't believe you didn't link to Elly's channel. I'm going to tell her!

[@VladimirKorsun]

Fuji autofocus. ❤️

[@phoenixsasha2727]

Wow, you didn't need a tripod for those night shots?

[@cliveeariss880]

There is no escape Joe she will find you ha ha, good job Elly so glad you have got into your channel more, keep smiling you always make my day.

[@joeallam]

Haha! Nowhere to hide, even if I wanted to! 😏

[@brianmckeever5280]

Maybe interestingly, HOUSTON is pronounced "Houseton" in New York and "Hughston" in Texas. At least, that is what I remember the people in NYC and Houston, Tx. saying!

[@cameraman655]

NYC’s ‘Houston’ street is not pronounced like the town in Texas, rather as ‘House-Ton’.
