In the photography vlog today, discover one of Tokyo's hidden gems, Kichijoji. It's a town outside the main area of Tokyo and not one that most tourists visit. I love exploring Tokyo's hidden gems and Kichijoji is very much one of those areas you really have to be a local to know about.

[@CoreyChallis]

nice work man but not a fan of how you pointed at the people to walk behind you, it's a public place

[@urban_junglecarry9958]

Bangers in there bro 🔥

[@TKNORTH]

First! Beautiful moments bro

[@KumaAdventure]

I like your POV videos because in addition to just the photography element you add a travel element and introduce places, show restaurants and cafes. It feels more fun and enjoyable like I am watching a part travel show and part photography show.

[@jasminexu4112]

that first 70-200 shot was so good! too good! thanks for the pov video,, keep creating and inspiring

[@Whatmobiledeal]

Absolutely love your videos. I appreciate you wanting to advertise your presets, however, it would be nice to see your photos before and after side-by-side, so we can see the value of your presets. Keep up the great work. Thanks

[@patkay]

thanks for the feedback. will see if it fits the aesthetic in the future.

[@keigohirakawa]

I’m over here in the US watching a RUclips from Australia I follow visit my childhood hometown of Kichijoji… It’s such a strange feeling! Great photos! The south side of the station towards the park has some stretches of streets with a different kind of vibe, too.

[@patkay]

ooo things coming full circle for you! ill have to check out the other side next time i'm there!

[@bc_views]

Crazy how you can turn a random ally into a great photo, it never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for sharing this!

[@shadoxir]

I heading to Japan next week and just wanted some inspiration.
This certainly gave me that.
Lovely shots!

[@shaun_fergusson_photography]

Fantastic photos, really enjoyed the video.

[@patkay]

thanks for watching!

[@matthewriley3778]

Amazing video. Such a great vibe.

[@patkay]

thanks man!!

[@jojong5521]

Bangers Pat

[@stefanpeterson1655]

Hey Pat, I really appreciate all your content and honesty in all your videos.
I just got a A7RV but am looking for the a shutter button cap. I noticed you have one in this video. Any chance you could let me know what brand or where you got it. Having trouble finding one that isn’t garbage.

[@BadSloucher]

I love all the 70-200 shots 💗

[@patkay]

hehe fanx!

[@sithijatishan]

man l love those colors😍

[@rouksx]

Feel like the city and not the city at the sametime ! Awesome Video !
Question : You shoot either with the screen of your camera or with the viewfinder. Is there a better one ? or it depend on the settings/situation ?
PS : LOVE your work

[@patkay]

thanks! i actually much prefer shooting with the viewfinder as often as i can, but i kept forgetting that the shoulder cam can't see what i'm seeing so i started using the monitor 😂

[@HKFIJIHK]

Love this! Btw are you getting magenta in your raw files with the A1?

[@ryanblackburn892]

Love the pov videos! (Not a fan of the shoulder camera though)

[@donjagoe]

Cool alleyways! Thx.

[@McLucius]

Im starting to gain some faith on the 24-70 GM2, as i didnt see good pictures taken with it till now! Thanks Pat!

[@patkay]

it's really good! it's very quickly turning into one of my favourite lenses i own

[@vishshsh]

always gotta love some snipes with the 70-200 :')

[@nowgaku]

I love your sensibility.

[@timkeng134]

First 2 comments are TK's. Great seeing you having fun Tokyo!

[@patkay]

hahah nice

[@achraf9946]

[@patkay]

coming up!

[@iz_ix_]

Very welcome to Japan!!!!!

[@patkay]

thanks for having me!

[@PeteD]

aw yiss TK with the shimoda backpack

[@patkay]

looks like a great one!

[@PeteD]

@@patkay my previous one was the PD everyday, and it saw me on a trip to japan. Currently have a shimoda explore v2 waiting for my next trip over, its so functional!

[@bradl2636]

Try Shimokita or Koenji or Mitaka…

[@STEFATTY]

One of my favourite areas 😍

[@patkay]

i loved it!

[@Eltargrimm]

I think I can call myself a Tokyoite if I can recognize it was Kichijoji literally 1 second into the video :)

[@patkay]

haha i was loathe to call it a "hidden gem", as i think most tokyoites would know what it is, but i did it for the tourists 😂

[@sohmiJesuswithme]

Jesus love you all✝️❤️

[@terddavid6288]

Lazy shots
