Here it is, the final vlog from our 2018 New York trip, featuring a spectacular view of Downtown Manhattan, New York, from the Rockefeller Center, AKA the Top of the Rock. We made plans to visit during the last couple of hours of daylight, to catch the glowing evening sun and then nightfall. Luckily, we were treated to yet another glorious sunset, with beautiful light that seemed to last longer than most other nights.
I shot images with my Fujifilm X-H1 and X100F, including some long exposure using my non-tripod tripod setup. You can see a breakdown of that equipment here: • Manfrotto Super Clamp ...
I hope you've enjoyed watching this NYC vlog series as much as I've enjoyed making them! The next installments will be from our quick hop to Canada, with videos from Toronto and Montreal, before our big trip to Japan for the Winter. Enjoy!

*We made it! - the final vlog from the New York series!* I really hope you guys have enjoyed watching these as much as I've enjoyed making them. I have a couple more videos coming from this trip, about our quick hop to Toronto and Montreal, before our big winter trip to Japan! ✌️Check out the rest of the NYC series here: ruclips.net/p/PLqdRq_XWCkM7Q6GaOw0K65W9gh_G6t3p2
Hehehe those girls were nice.
I am soooo much looking forward to your Japan trip!
Your channel caught my attention after this year‘s Japan trip of mine as I wanted to revive the special emotions I felt while strolling through the streets there. Ever since then I am one loyal follower that can‘t wait for you to get back to Japan. In my opinion the Japan videos are your best ones!
Keep it up Joe!
Can u please do a video on ur editing process a detailed one. For stills. NYC ❤️
I am Senegal but I like American
Haha the girls at the end 🤣
I know, right?! Such a happy bunch!
IKR .. classic NYC .. welcome to 2019 !!
Hahaha imagining the pigeon taking a dump with a little note attached to it like “this is good luck for the subway - you’ll need it” 😎
Maybe it was artistically written on my head in fine pigeonscript?
New York is out of this world - eclectic energy. Full of energy and fashion capital. Your background music is pure love.
Very cool ending. 😊😂
Such fun at the end!
This looks so cool I could literally watch your vids everyday such a vibe! The ending was so cool gotta love New York!
You vlog (and pictures) of the New-York series are great. And the ending couldn’t be better than this !! 😀
Thank you! I can't help but smile every time I watch the ending!
NYC my home city. LOVE the ending. That’s the NYC! 😃😃😃👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
One of the most cinematic blogs I've ever seen, especially the Rockefeller bit. Love this stuff man!
like the NYC series. I find the subway very convenient once you figure it out. nice that you let the kids have their fun at the end. It made for a great ending....
Superb film-making as always Joe; nice one.
Your videos make me so happy wtf,, and you've really inspired me to take up photography again!! Thank you !
Thanks! Glad they’re inspiring you to go out and shoot!
I was just in NYC, I'm back there in a couple of weeks.. loved watching this.. keep putting out great stuff, thanks for being a kick ass Content Creator of Original Content ;-)
I love visiting NYC, such a fantastic city. The girls at the end were great! 👍🏼
Dem kidz were DA BOMB! Gotta luv NYC.
The app myMTA was a life saver for us. Because we wasted so much time being confused and boarded the wrong train going the wrong way and then I saw the app advertised and downloaded it straight away and it helped so much. You know exactly how many stops you had before getting off etc. Which subway to take. Absolutely brilliant. I can't recommend it enough. Really makes you appreciate the London underground
Yeah, we mostly just use Google maps around the world to good effect. My biggest gripe though is that I shouldn't have to rely on third party software to find information. It's the lack of consistent station and train information right at the moment I need it that bothers me most, especially when you already know what train you're looking for, but the platform or station directions aren't clear. London is definitely a leader in this field for sure!
@@joeallam I know. Were usually the same. Google maps usually does the job for us too. The sign posting was absolutely Terrible. I remember standing there for good 15 minutes looking absolutely perplexed. They definitely need to fix that.
Spectacular images! You videos and image quality are inspiring. Much gratitude for the work you put into each. Would love to know the lenses and settings for each shot. Always nice to know what’s possible 😊
It means good luck indeed... "good luck it wasn't an elephant! "
Great video! I love the shots on the tele
Holy crap man. You got some real great bangers on this day. Enjoyed the telephoto on the street. And those shots on the roof were stellar. Great work man!
Cheers! I love using telephoto at street level. The 50-140 isn't even that big when you take the lens hood off, so it fits in quite well.
Super cool loved it, after a hard days work, now feeling happy, cheers joe.
lovely lovely videos Joe - i am liking the NYC series as i was there in NYC this august and well i didn't shoot enough myself but i fell in love with the city somehow .. gotta come back again
Great video Joe. loving that Newcastle Brown Ale beer logo at the end.
Love your style and content. Specially ones like these. Inspires me to go out and shoot more.
Thanks! This is exactly why I make and publish these videos. Glad to hear it’s inspiring you!
omg the girls at the end was were so funny. I remember to like your video thanks to them :)
Like the music in your video and give us a relaxing feel.
this kind of videos are soothing, would love to watch an extended version of this :)
4:59 still can't get over how beautiful this shot is!
Ive never been up the Rockefeller before ... gotta go there next time ... the nightshots are awesome... ..thanks for sharing Joe
you are an incredible photographer man. I am always impressed with your vlogs. the ending was really great, that had to feel good.
Thank you! Yes, the ending was hilarious and every time I watch it back, I can't help but smile!
Joe Allam yeah it makes me smile too very cool vlog
Sick series Joe. Thanks for sharing
One of my favourite cities for photography 🙌🏻
I love that city. Haven’t been there in 4 years, it’s time to go
The girls at the end., so good!
The pic at 5:13, OMG great job! Love your work Joe
Thanks - I've had a few people mention that shot in particular to me! I personally prefer the sunset ones for the side building glows!
lol nice shots. End was hilarious
Haha! I can’t stop smiling every time I watch it back ☺️
Awesome Shots from TotR!! ^^
Loved the NYC series! Was there exactly the same week as you so almost feels like my journey too.
Love the vibe of this!
Amazing shot, Joe. Happy you, "Merry Christmas"
Aww love the ending 🥰
Always an amazing edit and Quality on your videos and photos. LUTs needed next :P
Another great one. Love the vibe in your videos. Cool ending too :-)
One of your best! I went to NYC back in March. Also went to the Top of the Rock, they charged us more because it was supposed to be "sunset", but it was terribly cloudy (and cold). Still, I agree with you: best view of Manhattan. Though, I'm kind of sad that this is your last NY vlog. Lovely photos. Cheers!
They charged more?! Wow. I usually make it a strategy to go up tall buildings when it's still daylight and stay through sunset to nightfall and catch all the views.
They did! But yeah, I think I needed to go up earlier! Still, beautiful place.
awesome series of vlogs Joe.. I really miss NYC.. Here's a hard question: NYC or Tokyo?
Cheers, dude! That's not a hard question at all. Without a doubt, it would be Tokyo!
The Top of the Rock is definitely my favorite spots for skyline shots in NYC. I was up with my Hasselblad 500CM and got some neat shots. That reminds me I really should put those up on my website.
Joe, the subway system does indeed suck and the officials know it. They’re working on it . It’s going to take years to get it to the point of reliability. Many times I’m late for appointments due to it. Extremely frustrating!!
Your NYC series is awesome!! Thanks for all the hard work Joe!!!😀👍
Great pictures from The Rock. You should make prints of some of them :) Thanks for the great content, I really enjoy your photo vlogs from around the world. Keep it up!
Great video as always Joe, been watching your videos since the beginning, you’ve really come a long way since those early desk tours!
Can I just ask how you fund your trips?
Great pics, liked the girls at last :)
Cheers! Yeah, such genuine smiles all round at the end ✌️
They were Toooo Cute For Words!🌞
Hahah like and subscribe at the end. Gotta love NYC.
3rd week in December! Thanks for visiting. NYC sub agree, speak up , hope the would listen to the visitors.
Joe, is the video footage of the buildings when you insert the photos also the X-H1 or the GH5? If the X-H1, do you take the full resolution photos during the video or do you change to photo mode during recording? Great video as always and I've enjoyed the NYC vlogs quite a bit. Keep it up! PS: Will you go again to Japan soon?
All video is with the GH5 and the photos are taken on their respective cameras separately. It's just far easier to carry two cameras and switch between the two modes. Glad you've liked the whole series! I'm looking to do more series-like content in the future! And yep, I'm currently replying from Japan! Watch this space...
Great content, love your work
Cool vid, loved the girls at the end, made me lol.
Definitely a fun end to the whole series!
The girls at the end made me like this video :D
Like always amazing shots 😃😃
Any travel tips for New York? Regarding cost of getting around, you do any tour passes or just paid straight for the buildings etc?
Great video, as usual, Joe! Just a quick question about your clamp, does it work with the Peak Design capture clip? I looked at the video you made about the clamp and it looks like it doesn't, but I thought I should ask you, just to be sure :)
I'm not sure which part you're looking for compatibility with? The plate on the bottom of the camera has no tripod thread, so you'd need to remove that. But the main capture clip unit (v1 or v2) _does_ have a tripod thread underneath so you could use that, but then it would require removing from your bag strap.
@@joeallam I was looking for compatibility with the part capture clip (the last version) that you fix on the camera. I'm hoping to find a way to keep it there as much as possible. guess I'll have to either accept that it has to go sometimes, or wait for Peak design to release ultra light tripods or clamps. Either way, thanks for the answer, man! :)
Too many good shots 🙌 kinda hard to pick the best one 😊
I agree, the signs, the announcements are terrible. I love how they connect and how convenient they are, but finding out which one to get on is such a headache.
Yeah I really struggled with the whole system. For too long I gave it credit, thinking I was just new to the system. Until I continued to spot all the user journey flaws and complete lack of information. I just don’t understand how it can be so far behind other major cities…
Yes, how hard can it be? Other cities - London, Hamburg - subway maps are so logical and easy to follow. Enjoyed this! Yeah, and thumbs-up to the girls at the end.
5:05 I thought I was looking at a H&M ad for a second
Excellent!
Not sure you can say "straight into WTC...? Great vid as ever Joe, love the hijacked ending!! brilliant!!
Love it!
that telephoto is so good for street video, am really considering to pick one up. Right now I have the 16 23 35 f1.4 lenses and the 56 f1.2 apd. Looking to get this telephoto to complete my lens kit. I had the 90mm but I sold it. But this zoom range is so tempting. What are you thought on it? I hear the sharpness is close to the fuji primes. How loud is the lens? I heard there's a distinct humming when its on.
The 50-140 is honestly one of my favourite lenses I've ever used. The range is excellent, and although it's big, it's still smaller than a Canon 70-200 which I equally enjoy using. Take off the lens hood and tripod foot and it's significantly smaller. I don't notice any hum or sound to it when shooting though...
@@joeallam thanks a lot for the insight! to be honest I was going to buy this lens anyway. it's the only option really besides the 55-200. But I really like how the zoom is all internal in this lens. the build quality looks so durable and reliable. compared to the 55-200.
First!! Great video Joe
It already started well!
Amazing video ! Do you have a link for the clamp you used ?
All the parts are linked in the description of this video, along with another video I made detailing it which you can watch here: ruclips.net/video/JN_TDs5w94c/видео.html
That’s funny that you think the NYC subway system is crap because my wife & I loved it...but we’re coming from Southern California and our idea of a mass transit is crawling at 5 mph on a 10 lane freeway! Ha! Great shots throughout!
Haha! Yeah, it honestly is terrible. It's well-connected, but the _system_ of it is horrendously out-dated and lacks so much information. In comparison to other cities around the world, it's seriously lagging which is such a disappointment.
@@joeallam You've traveled significantly more than me, what would you rank your top 3 or 5?
hey Joe when will you be releasing your motion graphic templates??
When I get around to making some more of them, ha! I'm going to create a public set, rather than the ones I personally use myself, so it may take a little while.
Haha you should see the Mexico City Metro. You’re in the Americas now, mate. It’s huge over here. They don’t have to compete or compare with anyone.
Ha! I don't mind a subway system if they know it's bad/non-existent. It's when everyone raves about it to me and it turns out to be bad (i.e. New York), I feel the need to say something haha!
I'm curious to know what your low light settings for that night shot of NY?
I agree NY Subway sucks for signidge etc.. London has by far the best map & signage...
It definitely made me appreciate the user journey far more in London. I knew they focused heavily on design, but I guess I took it for granted before!
Great end of the video
Good. I love your world.
Let me know when you come back to NYC next time. We can shoot street photos.
Joe, what was that set-up with the super clamp?
I've made a video about it previously here: ruclips.net/video/JN_TDs5w94c/видео.html It's also all linked in the description.
I dunno, I find the subway system in NYC pretty good and simple once you get the hang of it (There are some really good offline apps out there which can help you out too)
I think it’s a well-connected network, but suffers severely from a huge lack of information (audible and signed) at multiple points during the journey. In comparison to other major cities in the world, it’s a shame to have to rely on apps instead of having the system provide it for you at the exact point of needing it. A simple example that drove me mad was never seeing a map of the line for the platform you’re standing at, showing the next stations along the route.
As a native NYCer I agree with the MTA complaints hahaha
Do you like using your "non-tripod tripod" setup over a gorilla pod? Seems a bit more complicated...
100%! It is WAY more secure and stable. I could never really trust the Gorillapod over a prolonged period as it simply loses its friction over time. The Gorillapod would also often shift/slip around something round fairly easily which isn't great for long exposures.
Joe Allam Are you shooting or have you tried the XT3. I’m just curious because it seems like you shoot XH1 and X100F only.
Buying tickets for the subway is the worst. London is the best with contactless payments and you always pay the lowest fare. NYC is years behind. Still love it though.
I know, right?! Especially with the paper value storage cards still?!
Joe Allam Exactly. And hardly any contactless payments or Apple Pay. They still sign for loads of card payments. Mad
Hello brother very good
We were in NY at the same time :)
Halloween in New York was pretty sweet, but more importantly, the sunsets are epic at that time of year! I hope you had fun during your time there!
@@joeallam I love autumn in NY it is my favourite season there :) Hope you had fun as well. By the way that Manfrotto set up you were using at the Top of the Rock is sweet. I have that clamp but after watching your video am considering getting the arm as well. A question: how does it work if you want to use it in portrait mode?
I am Senegal but I like American
Gotta agree about NYC Subways. Confusing and filthy. Easily the worst part of any trip to New York.
Outstanding vlog. Great images. Love it. Now stop bitching about the shitty NY Subway. Every single New Yorker already knows it sucks. 😂 At least it doesn’t smell like it used to or does it? Lol! Cheers mate and thanks for sharing some outstanding work. Now go home. 😏
yes the subway is awful, no they’re not going to fix it, what smell?
Paris has the best subway system.
I’m sorry, I can’t agree with that at all haha! For me, Hong Kong has by far been the best system in all areas of service, user journey, technology and pricing!
I loved the photo of the people looking out over nyc mate. Different perspective and just stella!
