Nice shots lad

I would bring the RF 16mm, 28mm, 50mm stm, 24-105mm and the 100-400 for intimate weight savings and enjoying your trip with whom ever your going with. If I am going alone with the focus on street and landscapes I would also bring the 14-35mm and the 70-200 f4 and leave the RF 100-400mm home unless I am doing wildlife photography. 😊

Very nice

Here from the main channel, no clue if you do this already (ignore this if so), but would be really cool to see this kinda vlog being live streamed!

Loved your editing, awesome vid!

Not the Sendai colony 😂😂😂 I love the shots, always beautiful

Never knew about the island. Pretty cool eh

Boom

nice vlog! make a trip over to queen west next time and then go to ossington ave. lots of cool stores/restaurants/bars there

Video is very useful! thanks!

Thanks for the video bro, kinda helps. I dont have photoshop but you explained canvas adjusting well enough and maybe ill do it with some other program.👏🏻🤟🏻

For travel in Canon my holy trinity is f/2.8 L but for Sony I do have smaller 16-25/2.8 and 24-50/2.8 but also 70-200/4 and 24-105/4. Also have the RF 50/1.2, 85/1.2, and 135/1.8 so you’ve convinced me that kit is not built for travel. Nice thinking. Will have to decide if I should swap in the 14-35/4 L and 70-200/4 L lenses and restructure my kit Thank you and take care.

Very good selection of the top most useful words in japanese. If I could add one more that you use a lot, it's to ask for the bill at a restaurant. Okaikei. So using the words you already mentioned... "Sumimasen, okaikei kudasai" or just "okaikei, kudasai" . They undestand and use "chekku" (or just 'check' for that matter) - but I think "sumimasen, okaikei onegaishimasu" warms a japanese heart the most ;) Maybe even add the "thanks a lot for the delishious meal" - word. Gochisousama or Gochisousamadeshita (even more poilte)

Also important: Hitori desu when u are alone or Futari desu when u are 2 people at an restaurant

Instead of using kudasai(which is somewhat demanding), when asking for things, you can use onegaishimasu as well. Kore Onegaishimasu (oh-nay-guy-she-mass). Another handy phrase would be Daijoubu (Die-joe-bu) desu (I'm ok/I'm fine, thanks). If someone wants to hand you something or asks if you want anything else.

Boom some good info!

I usually have no issues with landscape, it was mainly portrait, seen loads of version and (by far) the one which I never though of was this simple bit of maths. Will test this, but I also have a created a template of 1080x1350 in PS. I will see which works best. :)

I love the camera quality, and nice takes going around the country !

Awesome stuff

Boom

Would love to go there myself one day

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great video

Thanks for making this video! Total photo noob here, also going to Japan next month and have been trying to figure out if the lenses I currently have (Sigma 16mm and 30mm) will get the job done for city and countryside exploration. I appreciate the breakdowns and things to consider!

Love this!

Very cool idea! Gonna try the same

awesome

Nice.

Planning to use my new 15-30 and 70-200 on next trips. A little bit concerned to leave my old 24-70 but I’ll try to be outside of comfort zone. Thanks for share your experience.

Nicely done. Some great shots wow

Hi Chris... excellent process and overview. Love the way it was segmented and the thorough process around it. Which lenses you ended up brining to Japan? Like you I have a big trip coming up (2 weeks in Greece) and I have all of the 4 lenses you have on the "checks all boxes" category. But I want to bring only 2. Given Greece has a lot of monuments, architecture, mountains, beaches, etc., I am debating which two I should bring: 14-35mm F4 + 24-105mm F4, or 24-70mm F2.8 + 70-200mm F4 Not intending to bring any throw-ins though. Just want to be light weight, versatile and minimalistic but covering all the scenarios typical of a vacation trip to a place that has so much history. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks, Helps a lot.

You can also record these steps as a Photoshop Action and then fly through a roll of photos that need the border for instagram. Great tip!

nice photo!

nice job!

the term Swifty is cringy...

Where is the photo you took?

Interesting perspective!

It all depends on where you are going and what you are shooting. Last time in Japan I had a 24-240mm, a 16-35mm F2.8 and a 35mm F1.8 with 2 bodies. It worked pretty well. Honestly I think people don't appreciate a 24-240 as much as they should. It really gives you the true flexibility to not miss a moment (great glass is only great when you have the right lens attached). How big you need to blow it up anyways (my OG A7 with 24-240 - I printed to 20x30"). I really think the trick for travel is getting from wide all the way to tele in a whole kit, and then choosing a prime that you are going to use in the evening, ideally close focusing for detail shots. Personally I like 28 or 35mm for the prime, and it's nice to have that focal length covered in all lenses (because you start to see in that focal length).

Nice video, straight to the point

Very good points made and well done Chris! channel subscribed. I just spent a week in Nayoga and 80% of the time I used the 85mm F2, while the rest 16mm F2.8

NOT A FAN, DONT KNOW ANY SONGS, WOULDNT WASTE THE TIME OF DAY, NO LOSS

Excellent video. The Nikon equivalents for travel are very close to Canon. For travel I only ever take two lenses... a 24-120mm f4 as my primary lens and a 14-30mm f4 for more street and interior shots. Both are lightweight versatile lenses that are of excellent quality and don't break the bank. For travel light weight versatility is king. You are usually stuck behind fences and unable to pick and choose where you stand when taking a photo, so being able to frame images with the zoom is key. You are usually shooting landmarks and scenes so wider angles are usually required with the odd zoom in for people and detail shots.

nice shot!

Niceee, did you show the guy afterwards?

Awesome!!!

i like a little of context in the photo so i usually go for f4 or higher rather than completely obliterate the surroundings when i travel… there are maybe couple of times i thought “its better if i can blur the background” or “its nice if i can get those big bokeh balls”… but other than that 90% of my photos are in f4 and higher… i dont want to carry anymore my fat ass f1.4 prime and 2.8 zoom… i want to slap that 70-200 f4 in my camera 😂 now looking to buy one. 😊

Good video Chris, I'm wondering do you still use this process today? If not what do you do differently? Thank you 🙏😊

Nicely done. The shoot n show is fun to watch
