BANNED - Street Photography in Kyoto (Fuji 16mm F2.8 & X100F)

- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- Kyoto banned photography in the famous Gion District due to bad tourist behaviour... Ulysses Aoki and I went to Kyoto in July 2019 to do some street photography. Was this the last street photography session in the Gion District? We certainly are glad we went there before the ban!
What do you think about the photography ban in Kyoto? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section.

"Must be nice" I laughed out loud in my office break room.
Haha awesome :D
Just realized Samuel looks uncannily looks like Freddy Mercury.
That's misinformed. Some of the alley in Gion District are privately owned, and many tourists broke into those place to take photos of Geisha or some others. The "BAN" is actually for declaring it's unlawful to doing that. You are still free to do street photograph in Gion or any part of Kyoto! (I did it in 2019/11 and totally ok!)
Yes I forgot to add that in the description (I mentioned it in the video though) about the private streets. Of course you can still do street photography in kyoto :)
I read that you can't take photo/selfie with the geishas?
hahaha great video out of our tired selfs that day😂
I remember being bummed out because the weather was bad and things weren't happening... but still the vid is nice with some not too bad shots from both of us!
Very entertaining, thanks guys! :) Kyoto looks insanely busy with tourists.
Hi Ulysses. One weird question if I may: what kind of spectacles do you wear? I have been looking for something like that for some time. Thanks!
@@ErikvonStrongber Slow reply, sorry. Moscot!!!
4:25 Jajajajajajaja so funny 🤣👌, your channel its great , regards from Tenerife , Canary Islands , Spain 😉👌
Feels good to see the X100f back
I remember the first time I went there - it was madness
The "must be nice" moment was hilarious!
2:54 The way she laughs is amazing!
Great job Samuel.... loving the vids... the photos.... the music.... always soooooo good. 🤗👍🙂
You’ve always had good form with your music choices, but I think you notched it up a level or two with this one . Great stuff
Missed those gun effects
Nice video as always 👍🏻
Great shots you2 👍😉
I'm a simple man. A wild Lin Taro suddenly appears..I like, I comment, I subscribe, I care.
on the toilet
@@AlexOnStreets A good place to consume content haha.
That rain wasn't too bad. When I was there, a cyclone was going through the Sea of Japan. All I got for two days were shots from the balcony...
Your photos look remarkably like film photos. Which I find very very nice. Great job.
Intersting. I'm under the impression that it wasn't so crowded when I went there back in 2010, and the weather was nicer...
FYI, when eating sushi, don't dip the rice into the soy sauce. You're supposed to put just a little on the ingredient side and not the rice. The rice has already been seasoned and applying soy sauce will cause the rice to crumble. If you can't flip your sushi over to apply soy sauce, we use a slice of ginger to apply soy sauce to the fish side.
His mama was Japanese
@@waterthaimelon I know his nationality.
@@lilyaux77 dude, i used to be like this and then i realized that most other people and i didn't give a shit anyways
u become my favorite youtuber! what a great video! btw do the lens on xh1 have auto focus？
Thanks for the food shots. Now I have the need to go out and have a flaming ice cream cone.
Yeaah the return of the memes ! I wish I could hang out with you guys in Japan one day
4:53
Does the board say to pay copyright fee to take pictures or films?
finallyyy AAAAAA since rhe discord server is up, it feels like forever to wait for each video!!!
4:25 its a hard pic but...
Great video Samuel
What cameras and lenses are you using and ulises?
The camera is a Fujifilm X-H1 and Fujinon XF 16mm F2.8
Samual, great video, editing! Everytime is better & better, with these small details added! May i ask - when shooting the x-h1 with the samyang, seems like a great combo for stabilization. Do you do post-stablization as well?
I never do post stabilization when using the X-H1 :) When its not perfect it can look more natural, which I like.
oh I miss Kyoto already.. nice video also.
This Channel has shown me the power of photography. Living in japan is one of my dreams and your videos of japan just opens my heart. Thank you for your videos and photos.
The machine gun should be in all of your videos ... its so funny!!!
notification gang :)
thank you for the upload
i feel like i missed how you put your gopro on the side of the H1 camera to give us a OVF video experience?
"6:30 research purpose only, ... actually i dont like it but I MUST do it for the fans ;) ;) ;) only research , the smiles do not indicate how delicious it is, just how happy i am to do the research ;) ;) ;)"
This should be showed 100 years in the future, to explain how our "hunger for snaps for the gram" got bad
Anyway your photos are cristal
Yeah... This is why I will keep photographing people with smartphones because we will have a time in the future where this will be history. With good or bad memories.
@@SamuelStreetlife good thing pal, always a pleasure watching your videos in off-study times ☺️
I had the same weather, clouds are attracted by cameras in Kyoto!
Bro this turned out great! Guess it's going to be ninja photography next time I go 😂
5:10 the machine gun effect killed me 🤣🤣
Cool time before pandemic
3:00 safari edition in the wild 😜
*must be nice* intensifies
Prior photography permission is required for photography in front of the commercial store and inside the store./商業店舗前と店舗内での撮影には 事前撮影許可が必要です。
Wow, I can definitely see why they cracked down on photography in those areas! Always great color from those Fuji cameras though, even the cheap ones they made in 2007 like my old S6000fd had great color. And I love the little captions and effects you added on.
What film simulation you’re using? Or post edited the raw file
this is why I avoid the big tourist spots when I visit japan. much rather walk around randomly with no plan and enjoy the quietness.
jokesNgiggles agreed!
Very nice shootings ! I have 16mm f2.8 prime, but I belive on your camera it must be fixed ? Results are amazing, colours are great, since i just bought mine, I need some edit tips :) how do you edit your photos in which program ? did you add some contrast ? thx in advance
6:03 very nice
I recently visited Kyoto (October 2019), it's mad how many people there are dressed up... I did manage to photograph an actual Geisha while there - does that make me a criminal? 😅
GRIII and X100F, which should I go 😵both are awesome. also the XF10.
A bit confused here. Is the Gion district the private area of Kyoto and where the ban is currently in place?
Thanks for the good video! I found one used for $850 with 1000 shutter count, meike grip and lens hood. Do you think that's a good deal?
How do you like the 16mm? I've been trying not to buy it, because i already have the 18mmf2.
But the focus on the 18mm is not great and the focus ring and the aperture ring are too close and I often accidentally touch the focus ring while adjusting the aperture. that actually is the worst part of the lens... the 18mm I mean.
acros in the grey is awesome!
I didn’t even know they banned photography. Thankfully I went two years ago, but I didn’t go to Gion :(
I want to get a bigger and newer camera next to my xpro1 and I'm not sure if xh1 is the right camera for me aaaa 🙈 the price is so tempting...
are 16mm lenses suitable for events?
What was banned/forbidden with that snapshots in Kyoto?
8:19 need this music. anyone know what the title is ?

It boggles my mind that people in Asia don't wear a gore tex shell. They make most of them. I've never used an umbrella in my life. It's fascinating.
Gore-Tex is so overrated. Sure, you're dry on the outside, but sweating like a pig on the inside. Creates more blisters when applied to footwear. Better to be wet. It's water. You'll live.
Lots of street photography and street food , what’s not to like!
An excuse to go back. Sunny ☀️ sky’s
Which film simulation you use for all these photos?
It was all Provia :)
Most people travel to check the brochure……
I don't think they banned photography. They are just banning bad behaviors.
That's right. But they also prohibit taking poictures in certain areas and (mostly) private streets.
6:27 he is shinzo abe,Our PM Modi took him to Varanasi ganga ghat.
Can anyone recommend a portable and small flash I can use for my street? Relatively quick charge speed etc... I have a Yung Nuo YN600EX RT but it’s a flashgun and quick big for street. I’m using a Canon 70d (Big for street as well I know but it’s the only camera I have and I’m making it work)
I can only recomment the Flash Q20 from Lightpixlabs. It's compact and you can use it off camera too. Another option would be the little fujifilm flash (forgot the name).
Samuel L. Streetlife thanks mate nice of you to help, great video as always
Most of the "geisha" are Chinese (and Japanese) tourists who hire a kimono and get their makeup done for the day. It's very nice and fun, but if you do manage to see a real geisha, maybe do the cool thing and don't hassle her for a photo. Take a picture with your eyes, and move on.
Benutzt du einen Silent Shutter bei deinen Fotos?
Die XH1 ist echt leise beim auslösen... Also was du hötst ist der normale Shutter und manchmal hab ich sogar eine Audioaufnahme von Schutter eingefügt weil es zu leise war :D
@@SamuelStreetlife Interessant. Was ist in deinen Augen die beste Methode diese innere Angst abzulegen und mehr Menschen aus der Nähe zu photographieren. Ist wahrscheinlich eine häufig gestellte Frage, aber ich würde gerne deine Sicht kenen, weil ich dein Fotostil sehr mag. Ein Video dazu wäre sicher auch cool, falls das noch nicht gebracht wurde. Ich glaube es gibt hier mehrere zu ängstliche Menschen. ^^ Schönen Abend noch, du machst klasse Content!
@@aris-4584 Danke Aris! Ja das ist immer die erste Frage die man sich stellt wenn man anfängt sich an ungestellte Momente auf der Straße zu wagen. Es gibt keine Methode für alle aber viele unterschiedliche Herangehensweisen. Und es ist vor allem etwas was man mit der Zeit lernen kann. Zum Beispiel merken die meisten Menschen bei mir nicht mal das ich sie fotogtafiere. Das hat viel mit Körpersprache und austrahlung zu tun. Man passt sich sozusagen dem "flow" der Menschen an und versucht dinge vorauszusehen und möglichst ohne im Weg zu stehen um die Menschen herum zu "tanzen". Ich gehöre auch eher zu den ängstlichen die nicht erwischt werden möchten aber ich habe viel Selbstvertrauen durch die viele Erfahrungen aufbauen können. Es ist auf jeden Fall ein Thema das man mal in einem Video behandeln könnte. Ich werde es mir notieren! :)
@@SamuelStreetlife Danke für die ausführliche Antwort!
must be nice... *intensifies*
6:05 nice dogo
Nice mass tourism photo walk in Kyoto
Wow, I love your photos, what a stunning video. It will be amazing if you checked out my channel to see if you rate any of my videos. Keep up the excellent work! I look forward to your next video.
хороший выпуск
It is very disrespectful to take photos of strangers on the street and post on social media.
At 4:51 is this appropriate? WTF is this? Thinking it and saying it is different especially for a youtube video. It's sad that the tourists are ruining certain spots in Japan.
Akward lol :)
It just really annoying that Chinese everywhere
I found this video very uninspiring, and that guy with you a real downer.
Photographers are just getting very rude nowadays. They prowl the streets taking potshots from animals to humans. And they call this art. Actors and actresses who are hounded by paparazzis I can say as price for fame. But for plain individuals whose photos are taken just to assuage the ego of photographers is plain voyeurism. It’s an intrusion to privacy which is a criminal offense. New York and other cities who care should emulate Kyoto, Japan and ban street photography. I think it’s about time federal government should study the effect of photography on the privacy of individuals. Like guns, cameras should be licensed and regulated.
genghis2510 RUclips commenters are just getting very rude nowadays. They prowl the comment section taking potshots from inarticulate gibberish to pure trolling. And they call this sound reasoning. You lost everybody when you invoked actors, actresses, and paparazzi. You use big words, but I don’t think you know what voyeurism truly is. To speak of the egos of the many you’ve generalized speaks volumes of your ego. Perhaps RUclips comments should be regulated, or does that sound just as ignorant as your proposition?
RUclips comments are regulated. Uploaders even have the option to turn comments off. FYI. And you should go for originality. In some cases, generalization is used to drive certain issues. But to singly accuse an individual whom you do not know he does not know about something is much worse. It’s pathetic. It only rebounds and speaks about yourself. In some individuals logic may not suffice. I guess the only way to prove our points is to ask people on the streets and for you to hear (or us) what they say.
@@genghis2510 The way Ulysses and I photograph is very non confrontational and people always smile when they see me. The very few times I got asked what I do with a serious face was in germany and people always listened to my reasoning and supporting it at the end. You don't see the bigger picture. All you concentrate on is the act of taking a picture of a stranger. Not the "why" (or maybe you never heard our "why?"). We do this to document public life because it is important to have a record of it. If you limit or regulate who is allowed to take pictures on the street then you won't have a collective record but a very subjective and curated view of the world. One thing I personally don't like and where we can probably agree is that some street photographers are very pushy and papparazi-like and there are definitely lots of them who do it for the likes on instagram... That is not what street photography should be about, but I know not everyone shares this view.
Samuel L. Streetlife Okay, If you say so. And you may have some points I may consider.
