Kanazawa Street Photography | Ricoh GR IIIx

[@andreasalexander81]

Loved it! It feels like you've captured authentic Japanese life in an area that's not a tourist hotspot, thus not overcrowded.

[@po.ntandshoot]

Thanks Andre! Yes, I really recommend Kanazawa to anyone planning a trip (everyone seems to be heading to Japan these days).

[@andreasalexander81]

@@po.ntandshoot It's a great recommendation for sure. And I'm definitely one of those people! It's at the very top of my list. 😁

[@gelade]

it's a tourist hotspot alright...

[@Ramentop88]

I was fortunate enough to visit Kanazawa this year and really enjoyed it! Thanks for making this video

[@po.ntandshoot]

Cheers - Kanazawa really grew on me, even after leaving. Calming city.

[@3goodeyes]

you captured so many wholesome moments! thank you for sharing with us

[@po.ntandshoot]

Cheers! Wholesome city.

[@yawarlol]

Really, really nice man. Just good stuff all around. I respect your ability to get "in" on the shots. The gardeners with the umbrellas were unreal!! Nicely captured.

[@po.ntandshoot]

Cheers - the umbrella shots were my favourite from that day of shooting! A remarkable number of people employed to tend the garden.

[@stakamaka]

I don't think I've seen anyone do POV in Kanazawa before. I just had to click. Very nice video and images too!! Thanks for sharing your trip!

[@po.ntandshoot]

Thanks a lot 🙏🏻

[@alwaleedfahad]

What a great video and amazing photos! Thank you for sharing these beautiful shots. I bought my first camera this month (Fujifilm X100Vi) and will be visiting Tokyo soon. I hope I can capture pictures as wonderfully as you do. P.S. I have watched your video of rural Japan many times and never got bored of it.

[@po.ntandshoot]

Wow - that means a lot! Really excited for you, it will no doubt be very memorable. I'll try and get the Tokyo episode edited, and it may help you decide which areas to visit 🗼

[@anagaok]

Thank for reminding me the beauty of Kanazawa. I'm living in Kanazawa. I'm going to visit the place you showed me this weekend.

[@po.ntandshoot]

You're lucky to live in such a peaceful city. Thank you for watching.

[@biscuitto7]

Looks like a dream photowalk, but I think it's only thanks to your great compositions ^^

[@po.ntandshoot]

Yes, such a (photo)walkable part of Japan. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@neals_my_name]

So great. Those umbrella gardeners were wild.

[@po.ntandshoot]

Yeah, other worldly.

[@bok6446]

love this vlog... I am a fan of GRD and I love Kanazawa too ...thanks for sharing!

[@po.ntandshoot]

I've got a lot of love for Kanazawa as well 🗾

[@geneparcellano]

Great shots. Seeing this makes me want to trade in my Ricoh GRII for a IIIx. I've always preferred the 40mm focal point. Nice vid, looks like your trip went well!

[@po.ntandshoot]

The GR IIIx has been my first GR, so I'm tempted the opposite / wider angle way 💸

[@geneparcellano]

@@po.ntandshoot Haha, might be good to have both. I've got a feeling I'll end up keeping the GRii if I get a GRiiix. It's been pretty hard to find a used one at a good price though... I don't really want to but I might have to buy a new one.

[@bforbernard]

been keeping up with your x100vi / GRIIIX series, really making it tough for me to decide between the two! for this video, are the photos straight from camera or post editing? if the former, what recipe is being used? thank you in advance!

[@po.ntandshoot]

Thanks for watching! In this video, I've made the edits in post/lightroom using the Ricoh Positive Film simulation + a few tweaks to contrast/shadows. Good luck with your decision!

[@BS-bc7gu]

Do you use shutter priority for those moving bike shots? Or snap focus? Look super crisp. Thanks for sharing.

[@po.ntandshoot]

These were all shot on aperture priority. As the cyclists weren't flying by too quickly, the continuous focus held up well. I usually have the auto S.S set to a minimum of 1/125 👍🏻

[@BS-bc7gu]

@@po.ntandshoot thanks for the additional info!

[@젊어서노세]

how did you hold the pov cam? cheast mount ?

[@po.ntandshoot]

@@젊어서노세 chest mount for the GoPro. I also use the DJI pocket 3 handheld ~

[@Cinq1]

Wonderful pictures. Love the editing and the movie. What camera did you use to record the movie?

[@po.ntandshoot]

Thanks! The morning segment is a GoPro strapped to my chest. From the Kenrokuen garden onwards I'm using a DJI pocket 3.

[@Cinq1]

@@po.ntandshoot thank you. You work is very good. It’s a pleasure to watch. In between the Ricoh GR IIIx and the x100vi,, do you have that you prefer?

[@nAcolz]

🫶🏻 love it! Were these SOOC with profiles? Or edited in post?

[@po.ntandshoot]

These were edited in Lightroom with ricoh's positive film simulation. Thanks for watching!

[@yappzai]

are these photos edited?

[@po.ntandshoot]

Yes, edited in Lightroom with Ricoh's positive film simulation + a few tweaks to contrast/highlights.

[@thatvietguyonline]

Very good vlog

Cheers 🙏🏻
