Hey! Yeah there should be no problem, just make sure you get the flash sync cable! I think it’s an extra few dollars on their website, but that’ll make it work with older cameras :)

@@hunterjames. i really appreciate this!!! thank you so much :3 !!!!

For these shots, I used my flash at full strength and I believe 1/60 shutter speed, 400 ISO, and F8

Nice I will try those settings out as well. Nicely done video. Love the storytelling

Thank you so much, Antoine!!

I think it’s a great starter flash!! Doesn’t break the bank and gets you started

Hey thanks so much!! I’m so glad you could find something helpful in this one!

I recommend it!!

Never apologize for being you

Good question! This isn’t the strongest flash, so I would say you’d probably want to be closer to your subject than you think, if your shots are coming out underexposed. Otherwise use a flash sync cable with your M4-2 just to make sure everything is communicating correctly! I believe you’re using the right speed if the flash icon is selected - should be around 1/50th Then play with aperture from there to get the exposure you want!

I got this cam from the Hard Off second hand store. They’re a huge chain across Japan so they’re super easy to find! There are endless camera stores in Tokyo especially, so if you can’t find one at a hard off, you’ve got lots of options!

Oh stop it, you

Agfa count: IIIIIII

Thanks so much for watching! I think we should collect all the R cams 😂

Me too! I can’t wait to get back

My Archives are archived for a reason 😂 can’t imagine my clients would want to see how many mistakes I used to make hahaha! 28 is great for busy places but I really love 35 for more chill shooting, both awesome focal lengths!

I think the lo-fi music choice for photographer is so common because it’s very non-distracting from the point of the videos 🤷‍♂️ I can try using other music but I don’t know if a photo walk pairs well with hard metal or bluegrass music 😂 Thanks for watching!!

Japanese culture, from what I’ve learned by living here, is *generally* very inward. so people aren’t as concerned with what other people are doing unless it causes inconveniences or problems. I’ve definitely had people talk to me when I’m out photographing, but it’s more out of curiosity than hostility. It’s a great place to start practicing street photography!

If a piece of background set is enough to make you stop the video and leave a negative comment, photographers with other hobbies aren't the problem 😀

I'd rather see a guitar in the background than a collection of Leicas. Says something about the art in his approach, as does the analogy with sketching.

you should ask yourself why such a random thing is triggering you in such a way that you become so emotional about it.

@@eddflen1661 just make sure to bring a guitar with on any street shoot to really piss off people 😄

Creative people are creative, what’s hard to understand? I play guitar and do photography too. What are YOU trying to prove?

I highly recommend watching Trevor Wisecup! He handles confrontation very very well when he's in New York! I definitely learned a lot from watching his videos/interviews

That's a valid concern but I find confrontation to be extreme and rare cases. I've only been confronted twice: once by a security guard who asked me to delete his photo, and another time by an elderly husband. Of course, even just capturing irritated looks can be off-putting. There are several strategies, some more some less surreptitious, to overcome this fear: pretending to be checking (on the screen) the result of a shot you just 'took' (through the viewfinder) of another subject entirely; festivals and other open-air events where people don't mind being seen/ending up in the news; offering to be the 'official photographer' at private venues and events; ultimately, asking for permission/saying you're trying out your camera/showing your portfolio; etc. It boils down to your personality and desire to interact with your subjects or not.

Totally agree with you, Elisha! I typically say that I’m just practicing with my camera and 97% of the time there are no follow-up questions

That’s a great find! I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it :) I took some of my favourite shots on this little camera! Thanks for watching!

Hey thanks so much! I'd love to do a video going into more detail, what kinda of things would you be interested in learning?

Hey Alan! I’d love to make a video on that topic since street photography is always kind of in the ‘ethics’ conversation. I feel like I still don’t really know enough about the art form to talk about it from a point of authority quite yet. I’m still learning so much everyday that I go out and shoot, but I wouldn’t want to spread any misconceptions or misinformation. Once I have a better grasp on it, I’ll definitely make a video!

And yellow car's photos are nice! Good job🔥

Thank you so much!! I love cars and coco-ichi 😂

Merci d'avoir regardé!

Thanks so much! I’ll definitely be doing more in this style!

Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll see what I can do ☺️☺️

Absolutely!

Japan misses you too! I’m glad I could help with the homesickness! I really appreciate it the love :)

Sadly I don’t think there is one! I know you could probably find some on Yahoo Auctions Japan, but I don’t recommend it because you can’t see the cameras in person and shipping is super expensive :(

I’m glad you could find some inspiration in this! Thanks so much for watching :)

It’s tough! I see merits to both. It’s easier to sell yourself as a *genre* photographer but as a hobby I don’t see a benefit for putting yourself in a box! Either way we’re all passionate about the same craft, so I never understand people who try to tear others down or try to force them into a genre 🤷‍♂️ Love your perspective :)

I love it! That’s exactly it, photograph whatever catches your eye regardless of what genre people tell you it is :)

I live just outside of Tokyo? But I’m there often. Feel free to message me on Instagram!

@@hunterjames. i see sir, roger that sir 🫡

Thank you!! I’m glad it could help out!

Thanks so much!! I’m getting more comfortable in front of the camera so you can expect more of my personality in future videos (for better or worse 😂)

Thank you so much! So many videos talk about camera gear (I’ll definitely make one soon) but I wanted to share the extra things that help me stay creative!

Thank you! Not my masterpiece but ideas worth sharing I think 😂

Thank you for watching!! I was finally able to get a good nap in last month 🤣

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you liked it :)

I’m definitely very lucky! Thanks so much :)

Thanks you so much!! Really appreciate the positive feedback :) glad you enjoyed it!

Thank for all your support this year! This video was a lot of work, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Happy new year!

Thanks so much haha! I’m glad they turned out relatively good, I did have to HEAVILY touch them up in Lightroom 🥲

Thank you so much!! Happy new year!

Yeah!! The bigger districts essentially operate like little cities! complete with local government and bylaws. Which is why there was still a party in Shinjuku, because the government there didn’t cancel it!

Thanks brother!!
