QUIET STREETS of LONDON - Fujifilm X100F Photography

[@edwarudo]

Every X100F videos you upload always gets me excited

[@joeallam]

So much soul to this camera 🙌

[@alanacolville3891]

I think your X100F videos single-handedly convinced me to buy this camera!

[@unknownuser3496]

You guys look absolutely stunning! Also the video is as wonderful to watch as always - very pleasing on the eyes. For some reason I missed your Fujifilm X100F content probably because it always feels relaxed and you take especially many great photos and show us the beautiful locations you're at. Hope you guys are well.

[@joeallam]

Thank you, that's very kind! I'm really pleased with how this R5 is working out for video!

[@victorcarmelo8606]

My old stomping grounds working in the city area, lovely memories of an area full of life with all the hustle and bustle of during weekdays and the eerie quietness at weekends and so photogenic too. Thanks, nice video, you have a very relaxed demeanour.

[@wearetheunknown8162]

Fantastic video. I loved my x100f, moved on to a Leica Q last year, but kept the Fuji. Definitely taking it out again later. The X100F is a fantastic camera.

[@MiladJP]

Elly and you look so refreshed and good. I love the animated titles and the good old Fuji X100F which I'm about to buy next week. Prices dropped so crazy.

[@desmondtan649]

Absolutely enjoyed every bit of your X100F content and so glad to see that you’re still using it! I mean many would’ve upgraded to X100V. Your X100F videos are what inspired me to get an X100F and start photography in the first place.

[@CMDR_Scorpion]

10:08 isnt that the house from Lock, Stock and 2 smokin barrels?

[@joeallam]

Ha! Well spotted! I had to Google it, and sure enough the Paul Smith next door is listed as the hideout house.

[@jasonhindle4054]

Video looks fine. Question: Which lens hood are you using on the X100F?

[@glazed95]

What a great mood and pace for a video. I love it!

[@martinhernandezrosas6686]

This grade is absolutely lovely!

[@pasqualray1337]

06:22 Very recently bought your preset master bundle - very happy about that purchase!

[@tesalsangma]

I always get excited when I see your story on Instagram about a new video upload. How I miss London! And you have the coolest caps and jackets. Keep creating.

[@joeallam]

Thanks! I'm absolutely a jacket person. They're my weakness when it comes to clothes shopping 🙄 The one in this video was actually from the Burberry sample sale when I worked there a few years back - it's easily one of my favourites!

[@MurrayMcMillan73]

Nice to see you guys back guys,. I think you’d dig the V Joe, the updated lens and of course Classic Negative.

[@MP_pov]

Hi Joe, great vlog as always. Where did you get this square lens hood?

[@sarahchristine6025]

So glad I found your channel again after a few months. With school going on during a pandemic and being near a wildfire, it can get overwhelming sometimes. But it's nice to get a change of scenery once in a while, even if it's through a screen.

[@joeallam]

Glad to hear I'm providing some casual entertainment away from studying. Distractions can be good sometimes!

[@ronmallari440]

Your videos inspired me to get an x100v and I’m loving it! Love your videos! Stay safe you guys!

[@goodphotoideas]

I like the light hearted nature of this video, and the color grading was really exceptional. The people following you all at the end looked like a clip from Invasion Of The Body Snatchers.

[@kurtlwrr]

great to see you and Elly back out shooting! hoping you grab that X100V or X-Pro 3 soon :)

[@brycesuzuki591]

Such a pleasant vlog. Loved it. Footage on the Canon looks great. The updated color grading made a huge difference. The background blur is just so pleasing on the Canon. Cheers!

[@chrismcr]

Great to see you two lovely people back out and about. Fun video and some excellent photos.

[@thechrisyoung7717]

Hopefully Fuji are watching and lend you an X-Pro 3, maybe with the 35mm F/1.4! Always a pleasure watching your videos, especially when they include Elly and the X100F. Such a weird time but I'm glad you guys are keeping safe while out and about.

[@hfiguiere]

I so wished they updated the 35mm f1.4 to a more modern XF build. Possibly with WR.

[@thechrisyoung7717]

@@hfiguiere Viltrox's 33mm f/1.4 caught my interest, especially since it has a an STM motor. It's not WR either but maybe it'll nudge Fuji into updating.

[@siggi4ever555]

Great video! I’m inspired to dust off my X100S and go for a walk. I am more inspired to place an order for an X100V but my wallet does not currently share that inspiration. I am also eternally jealous of people living in walkable, urban cities. Everyone in my city, Dallas, is in a car, and places you can just move through, on foot, full of life, are few and far between.

[@joeallam]

Haha, yeah my wallet continues to say "no" to many things as well. I feel for you in a more spread out city. I have definitely struggled in some cities in the US precisely because of that. Even just seeing a shot across the road can be tricky when trying to navigate how to actually get across the road on foot!

[@siggi4ever555]

Joe Allam I have big “photo walk” plans for my Sunday. In my situation, that means drive to a place, walk around the immediate area, drive to another place and repeat. All of these spots are separated by 8-lane freeways and “street life” is limited. Which is frustrating because Texas city’s have a lot to offer if you have the time to look for them. Oh well. I’m just going to assume all of these limitations make me more creative or something like that.

[@igorbonifacic424]

Some of my favourite photos from London are ones I took in and around the Bank Station area on Remembrance Day 2018 on the 100 year anniversary of the armistice. I got there in the morning and the area was completely closed off to cars. The combination of the light that day and how quiet it was led to some amazing photos. That same day, on a suggestion from one of your older videos, I went up the Monument to shot the city skyline during golden hour. Watching this latest video just brought me back to that memorable day wandering around London for the first time and feeling so inspired by everything I saw through my X-E3's viewfinder.

[@eidfilms]

Colors and look in general looks amazing! Nice grade.

[@tanyaaz4994]

Great to see the two of you exploring again. And I really did miss your x100f content! Happy to see it back =)

[@jonathanwamble9340]

Joe, love the low-key photo vlogs. So nice! I have a question. When's the wedding and will you livestream it?

[@The-Tall-Photographer]

A lovely video. I quite like that lens hood you're using on the X. Are they still available I wonder.

[@ArneuTube]

I sold my X100F and X-T2 and got an Xpro-3. I find the X-Pro 3 with the XF27mm is a similar experience to the X100F, even in weight and size. When I am worried about the elements I use my XF23mm f2 instead. So far I am happy with my choice but I most likely will be looking for a used X100V next year or so, I do find myself missing the X100F every now and then.

[@matthewwatt3650]

Such a vibe this video guys. Love it and miss London.

[@vincaleb885]

This video looks so C R I S P

[@DarronSpeck]

You should come up north. Bradford's Little Germany has some amazing stone buildings and so does Leeds and some other old mill towns.

[@SteveMcClanahan]

Fun video! I have the X100V having previously owned the F. If you choose to upgrade, you won't regret it. I especially love the fold out rear screen - impeccably designed.

[@c.alcazar2584]

Thanks again for your video, the two of you are great and very pleasant to listen too 😊 love yhe pictures...

[@lukelloyd7934]

Just stumbled across this video after pulling the trigger on an X100F for an upcoming trip. I've always really admired the Fuji colour reproduction and tonality so excited to give it a go for myself coming from a Nikon full frame DSLR. Really great video, you are well spoken and interesting to watch. I especially appreciated your before & after shot comparisons with the LUTs. I'd be interested in knowing your thoughts on setting up the camera, basic settings and any tips or advice. Subscribed. Thanks

[@moritzmoritz3979]

Really missed your videos, keep it up 👍🏼

[@axelkeuchel5728]

Hey Joe and Elly😃👋! Thanks for this easy going vid from London that made me smile and wanting to go out and shoot😎✌️!!!

[@Moderrn]

I love these vlogs. It's especially nice to see different parts of London. Especially for street photography.

[@SamiPaju]

About that 35mm: getting the tele conversion lens for x100f was a revelation. Unlike SLRs, that can be changed so fast and easy. I have been walking around a lot with the conversion lens on, and when I see something that could use a wider angle of view, I just quickly screw the conversion lens off, take the shot while often keeping it on my hand, and screw it back on. Something that would be a hassle with an SLR.

[@brivnii]

the wuality of this video is insane!

[@stronman100]

Would also be great to see more pictures from Elly's xe3 with the 35mm lense. I'd really appreciate a comparison of the 23mm/35mm.

[@Nagualis1313]

Great video thank you. Would you share your restaurant list? And maybe photographic areas of london walk maps? Many thanks!!!

[@davidharris1562]

Just love wandering around cities and towns, try Bath and Bristol, especially Bath for stonework

[@breakawayunseen]

So easy to watch this vlog! Happy to see the X100f again and more shots from it. Further inspiration to make the move and buy one. More importantly though, outstanding beer choice! Great to see in the UK!

[@1young-geezer]

Sweet vlog - just like you wanted - but yes that was spooky w/ the people at the end following you, omg. So many nicely composed and processed images.

[@Caracalaba]

Your video reminded me when I was living in london 5 years ago, just starting my photography journey. Some of the few good photos that I took were taken one evening in the same area with the exact same pink-blue grandient sky. Your video took me to that evening and it's bringing me a lot of memories. Time flies..

[@robbykidman]

im digging the canon. video looks so soft and generally good

[@helloitsjordan]

For whatever reason, I find myself coming back to this video every few months when I need a little pick me up.

[@isseyfujishima9673]

Such a beautiful, chill, no-brag video.

[@poyntz55]

Thanks Joe same here, really struggling to work the camera again. As a side note you will love the Xpro3, had mine for a while now and so happy with it. Actually not quite as quiet here in Brisbane as its almost business as usual. I missed the shut down window.

[@JoelOman1980]

Hey Allam! I think your video "documentaries" are spectacular! Always so much attention to detail and the BGM is really spot on. I also like the locations, actually thinking of moving to London myself, but hasitating a bit 'cause of Brexit n' all that... Please stay awesome and continue delivering nice content! Cheers mate!

[@AleMallado]

Man I’ve been thinking about whether to get the x100V or a used x100F for months and can’t decide. I’ve got the X-T3 but it’s my old X-T10 the one that I pick everyday with a 27mm f2.8 I got second hand. I love how compact it is and is in my bag all the time but I’m so down to have a rangefinder. I read and watch reviews all the time and it seems like the new lens is a big improvement and of course the weather sealing. Are you going to get the x100V?

[@sergiusbookclub7113]

Just found your channel. Your videos are fantastic! Looking through old ones atm. Your Japan videos are just pristine ☺️

[@richardyarp1252]

I have missed theses kinds of vlogs! I first found you from your X100F videos so it as great to see you out with it again. Excellent video as always!

[@kevinlee1906]

Camera gear talk and photography vlog without "drama"...lovely...thank you!

[@abchappell01]

I really enjoyed your video. It is really refreshing. I also like the looks of Elly’s camera. Have you ever tried it?

[@deartokki]

As always another great video. 👍Love seeing the streets of London through your lens. I recently got the Fujifilm x100f, my first digital camera, and wondered if you could give newbie photographers tips and advice on choosing which settings to use for different types of pics. I know it requires taking a lot of photos to get to know your camera and knowing which settings work the best but it would be interesting and helpful to see your process in how you select your settings. Looking forward to more street photography videos!

[@markcompton6750]

Still love my X100F...... great video Joe.

[@chriscdn]

With the Fujifilm X Acquire software you can backup and restore your camera settings.

[@u238029]

You should def give the xpro3 a serious look. I’ve had it since it came out and it’s by far my favorite camera I’ve owned. It’s strange for all the reasons I don’t need to tell you about and you can shoot just about anything with it but it shines in the type of shooting you seem to do.

[@MrGamerbijoy61]

Incredible as always Joe! Nice to have you back, and have the Fuji back! It's amazing getting inspired by your photos, they're on another level! I wish I could take images like that!

[@TheZachMendez]

Thanks for this video! Beautiful footage & photos. I would love to try out the X100 series at some point. I can highly recommend the X-Pro 3 - one of my favorite cameras of all time. Cheers!

[@Zlin0035]

Come up to Edinburgh, Lots of Stone but in a way I find it kinda hard to edit in colour. Maybe you could give some tips?

[@chaschas]

Hey Joe! Been spending some time re-watching your videos, most recently the Paris X1H vid. What would you say are your main cameras now? Still using the X100V/GH5/X1H? Also - I finally got the R6 last week and have yet to take it for a shoot. Aside from my laziness, do you have advice on feeling uninspired/desensitized to the city you live in? Like, I live in NYC and after 6 years, I have trouble finding motivation to take advantage of what I have around me. I would definitely feel inspired if I were able to travel and see new things but that's obviously not possible for the foreseeable future.

[@joeallam]

Cheers! I'd say my main camera for filming is the Canon R5, and for photography it's the Fujifilm X-H1, with occasional X100F. As for motivation, I've struggled with that a lot lately and especially at home in the UK. The best way I've found inspiration is to see someone else's video/shots of your city purely to remind you what's out there. Even if they're just visiting the main landmarks, there can often be snippets of inspiration that remind you why people are drawn to the landmarks in the first place. In case you missed them before, here are my NYC vlog series' that may help inspire you to head out and shoot this week! 2018: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6ayiJ98r6yShNk and 2019: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGnKqGudoN2iq6s

[@chaschas]

@@joeallam thanks for your advice! i'll rewatch your nyc vlogs and hopefully feel a bit refreshed. appreciate it a lot and i hope to follow up with a nice update.

[@prayforwilly]

Maybe rent a new lens something extreme either wide or telephoto and then you will get some new perspectives on even the same streets and buildings... maybe that could help you

[@florianfranco8523]

Great leading lines in the opening talking head shot.

[@Itchban]

Crazy how quiet it is there - potentially a once in a life time situation. Also I've had a chance to properly use the R5 with 1.1 and it was great - no problems (so far)!

[@ab.collage]

This video really made me miss London. It's been 27 years since I visited. :( I have the X100S and I love it. It made me love photography again. I would love to take it around London.

[@danieldelrosario6836]

what is the lens hood on the camera?

[@shinzychan5117]

Wow the R5 video looks beautiful, best I have seen from any mirrorless...

[@canu1832]

I bought X100F because of your video, and I LOVE IT

[@emgee44]

Yay for Elly, still sporting the X-E3

[@_buttertigers]

Sold the X100F for the x-pro3, mainly using it now to adapt M-Mount lenses and it's been A LOT of fun. The screen is seriously of a serious consideration though, but for me it hasn't at all been a bother in how I shoot. Loving it so far :)

[@edwin816]

really needed this... Thanks Joe! more x100 content please!

[@richardosborne8514]

Love your video, down to earth with a lovely calm demeanor. Can you please tell me where you got your camera strap from?

[@KaesineePetch]

Nice work!! I got my new x100v recently and I am not disappointed. 😊

[@danava182]

One of my favourite blogs Joe! Loved the look of the R5 footage, and of course you can’t go wrong with the Fujifilm X100. Also BAOTASTIC!

[@clivewuest8529]

Hi Joe. Love this video. Since I had my XPRO2 my X100T has not had many outing. Will need to dust it down me things. Where did you get the silver square lens hood?

[@tekno90]

Man whenever I watch your videos I want to take the camera and go out to the streets to take pictures. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@joeallam]

Glad to hear it - that is exactly why I share them!

[@ryanturner5202]

The video from the Canon looks so good in this vlog. I noticed something was a little different straight away, it is a nice improvement in quality :) Love your work!

[@petewalkerphotography791]

Quick question: what’s the lens hood you are using on the x100f? Cheers

[@diamandt5598]

This should be from squarehood!

[@antant06]

Your x100f still looks like new. I think that's an achievement considering how much you've used it now :) thanks for the video, missed content like this.

[@Kcrotchet]

Loving the video and the colors :D definitely makes me wanna shoot more

[@ndglamr]

Great photos as always! What lense are you shooting with?

[@upandawayadam]

Its 23mm f2 its a fixed lense camera

[@joeallam]

Thanks! The X100F has a fixed 23mm lens and APS-C sensor, the R5 I filmed it with was with the RF 24-70 f2.8L

[@ka_sh_iif]

X100f it’s a fixed 23mm (35mm)

[@ndglamr]

Joe Allam thanks! Impressive see the change in bokeh effect after you have switched to the R5. To some extend it’s a bit unreal too look at compared to the gx5. But I like it...! :-)

[@pataner0isma]

Hi! So great this new video! Thanks! It’s always so lovely to see some London shots again. I Love that city. Don’t know why, I just love it! How I wish I could stay a year or two in the future!! Anyways, great choice that X-e3!😉 Waiting for an update from the Fuji brand...😜 Take care and have fun!! 💪🏼

[@Happy_Snapper]

I miss London ❤️

[@chslwS2]

I love this video! Can I ask where I can get the square lens hood?

[@hitpang6869]

What a great video! Just curious about the brand of the lens hood, where can I get it? Thanks.

[@sonholee5769]

I thought about getting a full frame camera for photo, but the fuji (xe3 for me!) is such a great digital shooting experience that I am hooked on fuji for now. Unless I shoot film, I think I'm sold on fuji. The prices of the lenses on full frame are comparatively high as well. BTW, I enjoyed watching you guys walking the city and I'm wondering when I would feel doing the same here in LA.

[@3enson1icayan]

joe, whats that hood setup you have there? that looks cool and sleek

[@nutellagorillavlogs9944]

Gotta scratch my travel itch with your videos 🙃

[@paulmoss4199]

i shall interested to see if you choose an X100V or X-Pro3 as your purchase, I am trying to make the same choice!

[@Robert.Macdonald]

Edindburgh is of the chart for photos and Bath is cool to for sandstone as well!

[@leemoody9247]

Hey Joe - what is that neck strap. Looks good

[@cliveeariss880]

Old like me Joe, so nice to see you and Elly walking around a fairly subjuded city, and yes its one of my places to walk around, hope to be going on the 19th, but still pending, loving those big shadows, great video as always you guys.

[@joopsmiranda9219]

Cleaaannnnnnnn great content as per usual

[@yangyu9990]

+1 for the Xpro3! If you slap on the 27mm pancake it'll be coat pocketable just like the x100 series!

[@ka_sh_iif]

Nice to see you didn’t forget about old faithful. 📸👍🏾

[@jeremyfielding2333]

Enjoyable, thanks.
