Nice one again, Hashem 👍 From the Saigon vid to this one, it seems you'd got into more of a rhythm on this one. Some great snaps captured. I find Hanoi much better for street photography due to its old charm and unique light. I love how familiar it all is too, I know exactly where you are throughout the whole video as well, ha. You show how quick you are too when there's a lot going on. I'm such a slow and measured shooter in comparison. I can't wait to see the next chapters of the trip, especially from up further north, where I'm most acquainted with. I'm so glad you got to make a trip there 😊
I'm from Hanoi, and I feel you when you show your POV video. It's like I am the one who holding camera and taking the shots. The golden moment, the hesitation, the regrets... you name it. Great video bro, I have a Ricoh GR2 camera, before, I had a LC-A, they are all good at taking street photo.
Hey, I'm happy to hear that! I feel the same when I watch other POV videos I enjoy, so it's a nice compliment. Those are nice cameras indeed, hope you still get out and enjoy shooting 👍
Thanks for taking us along Hashem, it felt like you had a great day! Between the two cameras and two different film stocks you got great images in three different very looks, which is really impressive. I think I enjoy the b&w the most but they all look great. The people of Hanoi seem very amenable to being photographed, the guy smoking under the train, totally unfazed when he noticed you!
Thanks so much, glad you liked the video. I also prefer my black and white shots from there, but it could just be what I shoot or look for. As for that guy, I tried to seem like I was taking a photo of the train, etc and being generally touristy 😅
Going back to Vietnam for the second time this month, going to Hanoi for the first time, looking forward to the street photography opportunities, this has me excited!
Stunning street photo! Keep inspiring street photographer out there Hashem! I’ve been planning to bring the film to Hanoi this year, but I’m not sure if it can go through the airport security in Vietnam. Do they allow us to do hand check/manual checking for the rolls of film that we bring for the trip?
Thank you! Really depends on your luck and other factors. I was refused one time in Saigon even after persisting, but otherwise allowed 2 other times (both Saigon and Hanoi). Depending on the staff members you get, it can help to have a translated note (or better yet a local to explain!) if you don't speak fluent Vietnamese. I also tend to take a few high speed 3200 burner rolls to help incentivise acceptance for hand checking. The good thing is they don't seem to employ CT scanners... all the shots in this video went through Xray.
Love the shot with the guy with his back to you and the train in the background above him. Also love the shot of you taking a photo of the guy with the camera that was talking a photo of you lol. My favourite film of all time is 500T with the remjet on or off. I find that tungsten film is not blue, but just more neutral which allows complete versatility when shooting in any situation. I find daylight balanced film impossible to remove the yellow cast when shooting under yellowing lights or in mixed lighting. Whereas tungsten works well in those situations as well as on a sunny day. It also responds well to white balance adjustments. Great video!
Thanks man! Yeah I reckon that's why they frequently seem to use 500T for Hollywood productions etc, even in daylight scenes. Just gives that versatility :-)
@@pushingfilm I was actually talking to an older gentleman in the film & television business this afternoon and he said originally all film was tungsten and you always used an 85 filter (slightly different to 85b which you hear about a lot) to shoot outdoors. I personally find daylight films quite difficult to work with unless you’ve a really nice sunny day. The daylight films generally look too warm on an overcast day and are impossible to remove the yellow cast when shot indoors. 500T looks amazing with an on camera flash at night too.
Thanks again for touring Hanoi. For a photographer, the possibilities of Vietnam look endless. And trying to justify shooting B&W in so-colorful Vietnam looks hopeless. And I think the only way to justify shooting film with an expensive Leica M-A is that it's fun. But, what OTHER justification for doing anything do you need? Thanks again. Great video.
I just came back to my home country after a week of holiday and street photography in Hanoi. I did not dare to bring my Leica M to Vietnam, because I had heard horror stories of pick pockets and snatch thiefs on motorcycles grabbing handbags and cameras. Be alert and take care of your gear! 😅
@@kinkyform There is a limit to how much insurance cover for losses due to theft. And I love all my Leica Ms which have documented so many great memories. Wishing you good luck living street photography life to the fullest. 😁

The vibe from this video and the tones of the images is just 👌
How beautiful my city is through your lens. Great work bro. 👍
Thank you!
Living for these midnight uploads.

Glad you're liking the videos man, and thanks for the support! Yeah I'll be working on the one from up North next :-)
A very entertaining video Hashem - thanks for sharing 😎✌️

Thanks for sharing Hashem. Great capture of the streets of Vietnam!
Thanks James!
Love it! Gave me some good ideas for the next time I visit Hanoi. Looking forward to more of these POV videos!
Thanks! I have amore coming :-)

@Pushing Film ... It's a shame that you couldn't have met up with fellow Leica shooter / fan Justin Mott. Great video as always 👍
wow. amazing !
I was shooting in Hanoi back in October! Beautiful place
Really cool video, Hashem!! You got some awesome shots!
I've always wanted an XZ-1!! Super cool camera!
Thanks mate!
The photos with the gentelman smoking in front of the train track are great!
Thanks!
Really nice work! snagged a bunch of quality shots in such a short amount of time 💪
Thanks man!
Great work! One of the places I really need to visit.
I think you'd like it!

tks br, im from HaNoi
Really good shots 🎉
Thank you!
Going to Hanoi in a month. This is getting me excited! Any travel tips?
Another great video. Just curious to know if your M-A came with the M6 style film advance lever or did you install it.
It came with it; was swapped by the previous owner.
What brand is your bag? Awesome video
I used the Ona Bowery in the morning, and the Wandrd Prvke in the afternoon part. Thank you!
Wait iam new to photography are these photos colourgraded like wow
Hey, these are shot on film. Either straight from the scanner or minor colour correction done.

Insure your stuff if you are so scared and live life, take chances.
