Landscape Photography of MT. FUJI - Japan Rail Series ep.4

[@theonlyrealfred]

From episode 1 to 4 absolutely stunning, fantastic work mate hope to see more in the Future 👌

[@joeallam]

Thank you! It's been a mammoth editing session with each episode, but I'm pleased with how it's all ended up and what I've learnt along the way for next time!

[@cliveeariss880]

I couldn't agree more!!

[@lawrencehorowitz9291]

Yes, photography is often about failing. Your and Ellie's beatuful work shows what can be achieved by keeping on keeping on.

[@HoangDRM]

Thank you for the journey. Very cinematic. Great work by Elly and Joe on this series.

[@StikxWoW]

Love how clean the shot is at 18:50, the reflection, the snowfall, your face 😎

[@joeallam]

Yeah, the footage from the Osmo Pocket continues to impress me given its size!

[@edwardlee9990]

Thanks for a great adventure.

[@MadisonBPhotography]

Climbed mt. Fuji a couple of years ago and still the best thing I’ve ever done, loving your take on japan. Makes me wanna go back!

[@joeallam]

Congrats! I've never climbed a mountain, but Fuji seems quite enticing for it

[@Atanubasu21]

The only content that matters. What a beautiful journey it has been. Loved every bit of it. Thanks for this visual extravaganza. And also happy birthday Joe. Eagerly looking forward to the next project of yours.

[@joeallam]

Thank you so much! I took my birthday off from editing, but glad I got it all finished in time for a weekend upload. The next videos to come will be our Hawaii and West Coast US road trip series!

[@Atanubasu21]

Road trips. Yaay!!! So excited already. It's so a blissful experience with your videos. Wish you happiness and health for all your adventures ahead.😊

[@Jonas-js2eb]

My favorite series on KZbin! I am a self admitted Japanophile but the pictures and sounds are really satisfying and you're a very good story teller. It helps that there is two of you shooting...Keep it up!

[@joeallam]

Thank you! Having both of us shooting video has definitely been a benefit to the visuals, although at some times it may have affected the overall narrative between the both of us onscreen together - definitely something we want to work on in the future.

[@pedromfs]

Joe, this is one of the most awe inspiring videos I've ever seen in KZbin. I literally just want to press replay all over again. The b-roll, the audio, the mood.. amazing work man! Please, do continue with this type of series

[@joeallam]

Thanks man! I hope to do more in the future, as well as some of the lighter videos in between to keep momentum going!

[@lawrencewhitehead6120]

I HAVE VERY MUCH ENJOYED TRAVELING WITH YOU AND A LITTLE ENVIOUS. THANK YOU

[@Johnny.senpai]

Those shots in the ski park are awesome! The soft lighting from the sunset is just beautiful

[@ilolatu100]

One of your best videos mate! Loved the music with the fuji sences and the cinematography was incredible! You should make a 1-2 minute montage with all your footage from your trip and be like 17 days in japan in two minutes. The footage you have is beautiful!!! Keep it up mate!

[@joeallam]

Thanks man! I've been contemplating making a supercut for every Japan trip we've done, but the idea always gets lost under the pile of other content. Maybe I can dedicate some time for this series...

[@ilolatu100]

@@joeallam feel you man but don't let this footage go to waste you have gold here! And tie it all together with the train footage because it makes for a great story and is a side if Japan people forget about quickly

[@mostlymushroom]

Thanks so much for this wonderful series, I really felt like we all took the journey with yourself and Elly and that's a very special and rare thing to see :)

[@joeallam]

Thanks for coming along! ✌️

[@grady60]

This is absolutely outstanding. These travel series are so well thought out and produced in a way that goes well beyond the standard KZbin quality

[@joeallam]

Many thanks! A lot of time and energy goes into planning, filming and editing these. It's always appreciated when the bigger picture is seen ✌️

[@rodrigo4379]

this video was amazing! i loved every single second of it! well done bro!!!!

[@topdog1116]

Great series loved all the videos. Really enjoyed it

[@oliverng3240]

Stunning video Joe. Mt. Fuji looks so magical especially when there was no crowds at the pagoda. Love the skiing footage at Nagano. You guys ended the trip well. Thanks for making this railway series. You and Elly have inspired me to travel through Japan via train next year. I'll start watching your Hawaii series now. Happy travels!

[@benbarling3790]

Yeah, Japan is a beautiful country for sure. A must visit for any photographer. I'm based in Bangkok so get to pop across fairly regularly. Love it.

[@attacksession]

19:51... Come on, I really believed that Gandalf was about to appears at the horizon, on a big eagle with his lightning scepter. Great work Joe, I'm glad to see everything you show threw those truly amazing images. I'll be ready, to go watch each places, in next September.

[@joeallam]

Haha! The original audio on those clips was just me screaming and swearing in awe at how insane the sky was! I was actually last one off the mountain that evening, as I kept stopping to take photos with the ranger's snow mobile slowly creeping behind me to keep me moving haha.

[@attacksession]

@@joeallam that's a nice story and it proves that photography is mostly, a question of timing! You were not sure of what could happen, but you were enough brave to wait and see. Well done!!!!

[@Mindartcreativity]

Unbelievable how great this series has been! I loved every episode of it and it was nice to see a different side of Japan, away from the tech hotspot cities (although I'm rewatching these videos from time to time). I've been watching your videos now for almost 3.5 years and this is easily the best work you have done yet and I'm looking forward to the next videos. I might just rewatch the whole series as a whole now 😀

[@joeallam]

Thanks for all the support over the years! I'm personally looking forward to rewatching this whole series for nostalgia at some point in the future and would happily return to many of the places as well.

[@khyezr]

congrats on the completion of this amazing project Joe! definitely one of your best series if not THE BEST! 🙌🏻 🙌🏻 🙌🏻

[@joeallam]

Thanks, man! It's been a huge process to plan, shoot and edit it all, but I'm happy with how its turned out and what I've learnt for the next one!

[@HANandSOL]

the snow scenery is so amazing 😲

[@virticlecircle6296]

13:45 I was like wait WTF, isnt it summer in Japan. Lol, I really appreciate the amount of time you've put into editing the videos they've all come out extremely well and has inspired me soo much. Thankyou!

[@mikaa8640]

When I went to Japan I only thought that it was famous for its delicious snacks but looking at this has shown me that there was more beauty to Japan than I had thought

[@joeallam]

Oh my, there's SO much more to Japan than snacks, even though the are a tourist attraction in themselves!

[@mikaa8640]

wow thanks for replying!!!! Also Ik that there is ALOT more but I just thought that the main thing was snacks😅 but now after looking at your video, beauty is also in the main section for Japan❤️

[@perriwain9531]

Stunning series Joe! Bringing back beautiful memories of our trip last year. Love the results, your editing and the colour grading. You also come across a really nice and chilled couple!

[@Kevinlbridge]

OHHH I got goosebumps just from hearing your footsteps in the snow!

[@MillennialTravelConfessions]

Incredible video! The footage you captured is really so beautiful, keep it up! 👍

[@belindadesmond6890]

Joe, absolutely loved taking this journey through Japan with you and Elly. Was an amazing experience and I really loved your videos and photographs. Japan is now on my bucket list!

[@joeallam]

Many thanks! I hope you get to visit Japan one day!

[@KH77x]

Definitely one of the best series I've watched so far! I'm impressed on how well those shots at the ski resort came out, super dreamy vibes. As always, keep up the great work!

[@joeallam]

Thank you - I was incredibly surprised with a lot of the skiing shots too. I actually went up with my GH5 and managed to operate it with pretty good success in -12ºC heavy snow, and my beginner ski skills

[@NicoBoutmy]

Awesome video!! More videos of Japan pleeeeeeeaaaaasssseeee!

[@mahamza86]

I absolutely loved the whole series. It shows your love towards Japan. Great job. I already showed your episodes to a lot of my friends. Hopefully do a tour following your footsteps.

[@joeallam]

Thanks for sharing them out - much appreciated! Have a great trip, when you finally make it!

[@peterelliston]

Really enjoyed the visual journey, appreciate the time and planning going into it.

[@MikeRaats]

I’ve really loved this who series! Joe you smashed it out of the park, and have inspired me to film and document my upcoming trip to Japan in October. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@joeallam]

Thank you! Have a great trip!

Hi Joe I have followed you and Ellie through the entire series. It has been so enjoyable and you should be really proud of what you have achieved. Can’t wait to see the next project. Best regards from a very hot Dubai. Steve.

Thanks! At the time, I wasn't sure on the results of the first images, but when we got back and I started looking through them, I realised they came out better than expected!

[@nocturne8323]

I can't get enought of your video Joe, good work with this series, i really having a good time just by watching you explores Japan, i might give it a try someday.

Great video. I remember seeing Mt. Fuji and having a similar experience. Such an iconic Mt. and a highlight of our trip to Japan last month. Your pictures of it looked amazing too, well done

Another great video Joe, thanks. You and Ellie have crafted out a great lifestyle !

[@stonmyk]

love the music and the whole atmoshepre of this video. Mt Fuji brings me good memories and gives me goosebumps everytime

[@joeallam]

I always love it when people take note of the music. It's honestly one of the biggest hurdles for me when editing and can often stall a project for hours, if not days. Glad you think it fits the vibe!

[@Kyuri85]

Really enjoyed this series Joe. Totally agree, this is definitely your best work. Loved the photos of Mt Fuji!

A wonderful end to the series. I recently discovered your channel and now look forward to every new release. Photography brought me to your channel but your videography & story telling skills are equally amazing!

Thanks! Out of curiosity, do you know which video you discovered first? I'm always intrigued by the journey...

[@richardyarp1252]

@@joeallam Hi Joe. Yes, I found you when I did a search on Fuji X100F videos. Yours were the first ones I watched from that search. You had a review and also I think one your settings, I also watched the street shoots you did with it. My wife gave me one for my birthday earlier in the year and I was interested in learning more about it and how others were using it. Your videos on it were a big help. I have a Nikon D750 for my DSLR gear but I am really enjoying the X100F for a lighter everyday camera. After watching and enjoying those videos I went ahead and subscribed,

The opening of this shot is wonderful, and the stillness of the lake, ohh I wish, and as you were talking Ellys eyes rolling around and looking was a touching moment for me.

Hello Joe, Enjoyed your journey... Pleased you both enjoyed your skiing .... A Suggestion for your next Project, take the Train from Sapporo to Kutchan, via Otaru... Then you'll be able to ski in Niseko and take some photos of Mt Yotei ... I was lucky to get some great photos of Fuji although we never got to the pagoda as the road up was blocked with snow in late April .....
