Flying from New York to Toronto, Canada, catch my first impressions of Canada and follow along for some travel photography around Toronto with my Fujifilm X-H1.
Honestly, I couldn't stop taking photos of the CN Tower throughout the few days we had in Toronto. Partly because I was so excited to finally see it, and partly because it's literally sticking out behind every single building and every single view of the city!
Even though we only spent a few days in Toronto, I really fell in love with Canada and will definitely be returning for a much longer time in the future. I'm so glad we squeezed Toronto into our New York trip, as well as a quick visit to Montreal which you can catch in the next video.

You should come back to Toronto in the summer, Joe. Every city has its season, and for Toronto it's summer. The city really comes alive then.
Agree, Toronto's vibe totally changes in the summer
Best days in the city are the warm ones after a long cold.. the city collectively smiles and the vibe is just so damn awesome.
Igor Bonifacic yea definitely! I live there.
Agreed, it's like two separate cities
Agreed. There's so much plant life and greenery int he summer. A lot of the planters and light posts have flowers and the city comes alive, but not in an aggressive way. People are generally still friendly. The Island is absolutely beautiful in the summer. The other viewpoint you were talking about is from Riverdale Park and it's absolutely stunning. Plus that area of the City is "greektown" and there's a lot of amazing foods bars there to check out on a return visit.
I'm kind of shocked you didn't actually go UP the CN Tower and get a panoramic shot of the city from up there.
Honestly, I've lived in Toronto for 19 years and I'm still in awe whenever I see the CN tower.
As a torontonian this was awesome to watch. I think its just the weather that had you experience the quieter time in the city as if you were to visit during the summer you'd see how alive and busy the streets are, especially on a weekend. Hope you enjoyed your visit!
Ah good to know! It was surprisingly quiet on the streets on the weekend days we were there. Definitely wanting to come back in the summer, sometime.
So cool to see my city through someone else's eyes! Great video
Thank you so much for this video! Toronto is my favourite city and although I LOVE looking at photos of it, seeing it on video just makes it come alive and tugs at my heartstrings even more! I can confirm the novelty of taking photos of the CN Tower never wears off - I definitely recommend doing the Edgewalk if you go back in the summer so you can experience walking around/leaning off it!!
The night view of the Toronto city skyline from either Hanlan's Point ferry boat or Centre Island ferry is one of the world's best urban views, and I've travelled to many cities to compare. An absolute jewel - and you can catch the moonlight reflection on the opposite "darker" side of the ferry boat.
Gotta admit Toronto is a BEAUTIFUL city. I love living here.
i have been to NYC but to be honest with you i prefer toronto, love to visit again.
Could I get your email Ldia Moura ?
@@dinethlive why creep
John Tory has ruined it. Bums are overrunning the city. Downtown is dead.
The downtown streets are disgusting
I love, love, love Toronto! I am not a big city person but Toronto stole my heart. You are right....low vib and very clean. I stayed at the Weston on the harbor with fantastic views.
I was there in June and was able to experience a week long city festival in the streets with amazing entertainment all along the harbor walk.
The CN tower was a breathtaking view! I long to go back.
Always welcome back! Before your next visit you should check out some Activity groups for Toronto on facebook. People throw bonfires, parties, tours, games of tag, and many other different events.
Thanks for visiting, it looks like you had a nice time. When I first moved here I loved the CN tower because I never really got lost. Just look up and find it then you have your bearings. Now that I've been here a long time I barely notice it. Hopefully you can get back here again sometime.
Yeah, it's such a good compass for the city! I don't think I'd ever get tired of seeing it. It's just such an iconic structure!
I really Love how You can not get enough of the cn tower! This was me at my last visits. Glowing whenever I see it and taking a picture whenever! Cant wait to go back next month
You always become a fan of your own city when you see someone else visiting it. I'm glad Toronto treated you well!
I’m from Toronto and I lived in Melbourne for a few months. I love Melbourne and it definitely felt like home!
Glad you enjoyed Toronto. I travel a TON and while I love the places I go, my heart always beats different when I'm returning and see the CN Tower from the plane.
Finally my home country Canada! Please come to Vancouver!
Canada has so much to offer. I like Toronto and Montreal but Vancouver, Calgary and OTTAWA are a must see.
Welcome to Canada Joe. Toronto is a great city I live about 100 miles west of there. It's beautiful here but very cold lol.
Another superb vlog Joe. About that ibis comment you made, you absolutely have to disable it during long exposures for the exact reason you mentioned. Fuji even made it easier to do so in the first firmware update because it was a pain in the ass trawling through the menu system to do so. Now you can add it to a function button or add it to your quick menus
Glad to hear about the IBIS function button. I've found IBIS useful for photos, but detrimental using it on videos as it's added stepping movement to my slow pan shots making them unusable. I'm interested to see if the new firmware fixes that, but if not, at least I can add a quick button to disable it when in video mode.
Toronto city is amazing ! I love so much
Coming home from work, eating sushi and watching another Joe Allam Vlog is just glorious😍😋
hey, I love your videos and your shots, thanks a lot. I will be in Toronto by the end of this year! :-)
Welcome to Toronto and I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Great job!
Thank you for such a beautiful video of Toronto! Glad you enjoyed your short stay!
Went to Toronto for the first time last month and loved it, I want to go back in the summer time.
You maken me wanna go to cities and try some streetphotography! Thank you for that! Also loving the prime lenses👌🏼
Toronto is so much better in the summer but more people and tourists.
I really like September (after Labour Day) and October. Good pleasant weather and less summer crush.
Great video and welcome to Canada!! You definitely have to make it to the West Coast one day and make sure not to miss Victoria on Vancouver Island;)
We visited Toronto for the first time too with our X-H1 and just posted our video. Great shots as always, Joe. Glad you enjoyed the city!
Surprised you didn't go up the CN tower. lol
If I went up it, what would I take photos of?!
@@joeallam touché.
They actually just recently renovated the viewing deck floor with a portion which has floor to ceiling windows, i think you wouldve enjoyed the view@@joeallam
Nice! Waiting for my hometown video from Montreal. Have some proper smoked meat.
@@joeallam If you went up, on a clear day you could have taken photos of the mist rising from Niagara Falls across the lake. Not to mention the entire city of Toronto. There's a reason the CN Tower always seems to appear in the background of all the Toronto photos. Imagine what you can see from the Tower itself.
Looks like you had a great time. My first time in Toronto was 2016 and I want to go back. Great video!
You really should come to BC/Vancouver sometime!! 1 hour in one direction takes you to beaches, and an hour in another direction takes you to mountains and great pacific northwest nature spots!
Yeah, I'm SO keen to visit that side of Canada!
It is so amazing to show us what is so great about living in Toronto the most desirable place
I'm loving it! Can't wait to see the city with my own eyes..
Welcome to my home town! Hope you enjoyed it.
I went to Toronto (on vacation) in December 2018 as well. It was a great city and I plan on visiting again!
Hi Joe, great video, as always. Can I ask what are your thoughts are, on the X-H1? I'm considering upgrading my X-T1 to either a (used) X-H1 or X-T2. I have no real interest in video but I am very interested in the IBIS on the X-H1, for night photography (cityscapes/street).
i enjoy these videos so much, thanks for making'em!
photos are great, and the presentation is pretty top notch.
Quebec City is more French in Canada than Montreal
troy charles I live in Montreal and its really French everybody speaks French. I think they are both on the same level of “frenchness”
@@annazakour4905 Montreal is More bilingual than Quebec City though and te city is more North American than Quebec city
People in Torronto speak english or french ??
@MISKI Planet thanks
@@xvgjffggvj8333 honestly, Toronto is so culturally diverse that you can hear dozens of different languages being spoken depending on where you are in the city. The overall language that is spoken in almost all of Canada is English, though. Quebec is primarily French only, and some communities in northern Ontario and out on the east coast also are predominantly french
What an amazing tribute to one of the most photogenic cities in the world. You really pulled it off with a fun and professional attitude.Toronto is such a beautiful and iconic city. Over the years it has also developed into quite an entertainment mecca and truly embodies its nickname Hollywood North. I hope you had the opportunity to visit Casa Loma . It’s lovely and grand interior/exterior has been used in many blockbuster hits such as the X-Men series and Chicago. If you ever find yourself in Detroit make sure to drop by the Fox Theatre and check out Hitsville USA. You and your camera will fall in love with mighty Motown.
Ugh it's so weird seeing my stomping grounds like this, great job on making the ordinary look amazing!
Awesome vlog! I have never been to Canada, but have lived in NZ for 10 years and frequently traveled to Australia. Toronto did give a very Auckland vibe, from the skyline at least. I think you and I may have the same list of buildings to visit. Is Sears tower in Chicago on your list?
YES! The Willis Tower is absolutely at the top of my North America list now!
In Montreal, you MUST eat a smoked meat sandwich.
You will not be disappointed with the Alberta side of the Rockies. Go for some short winter hikes if you can. Johnson's Canyon is a very easy and short hike. But with great views
This is how I see Toronto... great job
Great Vlog Joe .... welcome to the best country in the world. I grew up in Toronto .... for more French culture suggest you visit Quebec or the Gaspe area ..... much more to discover from coast to coast.
Cheers! Yeah, we definitely need to go back there - there's just so much to see, so I want to plan an extensive trip travelling all over!
Currently traveling the globe with Remote Year (which is amazing) but loved seeing how you captured my home city
Given what you like, I'd recommend the Toronto to Vancouver train. It is 4 nights and 3 days. Cost varies depending on the comfort. Something I'd love to do again.
Ahhh, you know me too well! Definitely going to keep this in mind for the future. We took the train to Montreal and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Great video! My bf and I are visiting next week for V-day. We’re really excited. ❤️
How was your visit? The city is much better int he summer but hopefully you still enjoyed your time here.
Chris Simpson We had an amazing time, graffiti alley was our favorite part!
Awesome! I hope you guys can come back in the summer one day. It's a completely different vibe and appearance to the city. @@TheGhettoSnobSeries
Mate, are you vlogging on a GH5 and shooting with the X-H1? I figured it was all X-H1 when traveling. That’s a lot of gear to lug around, isn’t it? What makes it worth doing?
I’m looking vlog a SEA trip, but I don’t think I lift enough to carry two hybrids about.
Did you come to Nathan's Philip Square for the New Year Countdown? Enjoy bro!
So need that 16-80 as well. It would be the ideal walkabout lens, and sorely needed.
Toronto has the best restaurants in Canada!!!
« Chinese BBQ duck » is amazing.
Toronto hands down.
Why would you go there (or New York) during cold season? The time to see Toronto is during Spring or Summer!
You need to come back in the summer. The city comes alive than. So many things to see and do in the summer
Ministry of Silly Shots @ 7.44 😂😂😂
Which camera R U using
Wow yet another great video Joe, the city looks amazing, yep could spend some time there for sure, also nice a calm, nice one mate.
Wow it’s every body visiting Canada 🇨🇦 my hometown have a safe travels
My first video of you and i love the vibe of this video. Also your voice is so soothing!
Amazing amount of subs. I’m staring my own travel page. I’m still learning how to edit. I’ll keep watching and being inspired.
really cool to see my neighbourhood from a tourists perspective!!
Joe, I've lived in Toronto for over 10 years and I never, ever get sick of seeing the CN Tower. The city ain't perfect but it's damn close to me.
Canada is so beautiful. I wanna be there again. Really liked ur video !!🌸
6:31 chilean "empanadas" in the background i can't believe it 😂 i'm from Chile and i never though i will see that here
Miguel Arriaza I was thinking the same! Not that I’m from Chile but happy to see comida latinoamericana lol
Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities in the world. About 50% of the Canadian population wasn't even born in Canada so there's a bit of everything from all around the globe here. We thrive in diversity.
Yah it's quite good for chilean food too. The abuela I met, she is actually from Santiago and has had that shop for a long time. Representando Chile en una tienda chica
Indeed, and they are yummy! I like bringing my friend on a tour of Kensington Market neighbourhood. All kinds of different food and graffiti art and retro clothing.
Toronto has a spike of about 200,000 people in the Summer because that's when you can really see the City
Watching your video on Xmas days is so relaxing. Good background soundtrack choice as usual.
Nice video! That's the Timmies (Tim Horton's) I visit on the daily during the week :D
Haha, nice! Looks like a busy walkway into the city, so I bet it’s popular!
Great Video! My dream work place. Can't wait to experience the freezing environment and meet new friends.
I live there! It's nice to see Toronto through your lens :-)
You made me miss Toronto with this vlog. Going back this summer
KAREEM ROSE Toronto is where I’m from and I hate it during the summer it’s so fucking humid😞
So glad you come to my city and enjoy the views... funny you just got the same kind of pictures across the King st I did 1st time I try myself :D
Cheers mate!
Cheers! Toronto is such a cool little city - I definitely enjoyed it and want to return!
Awesome one. Welcome to Toronto.✌️
I realize this comment is 2 years late but Toronto's next big city building project is something called Rail Deck Park. It would deck over the rail lines from that bridge you were standing on and all the way to the CN Tower/Union Station.
Great video, and you make an excellent point about the skyline changing dramatically. It feels like every other day i notice a new tower popping up on the horizon. Some new ones in the works that are dramatically going to change it further. Also, that area with the rail you were taking pics from is set to hopefully become raildeck park; which will provide a lovely large park area in the heart of the city over the rail lands with those views. That polson pier area you were at is going to be just south of a major redevelopment area, and the creation of an island(villiers island). That is one of the things i love so much about this city, it is in it's formative years where you can really see the city taking shape. Like a teenager coming into young adulthood. I liken it to something akin to living in New York in the 20's and 30's. Still much work to do, but i think it is progressing along quite well. Hopefully you get a chance to visit again soon. Try to make it back in the next 5-10 years, and i think you will hardly recognize the place.
Very enjoyable watch definitely makes me want to visit Canada- And that food at 3:54 phwoahhhh. Nice one Joe 👍
was there in september and absolutley loved it, amazing city.
That's a great month to visit
Being not from Toronto but knowing it, I fucking died of laughter at 10:09
I hope you enjoyed your stay in Toronto! Beautiful city. I implore you to come back to Toronto in September, rent a car, and do a day trip up to Muskoka. Ontario is beautiful in the fall, and you should take the chance to check out towns like Barrie, Bracebridge, and Gravenhurst if you come back. Collingwood is also nice!
I subscribed when I haven't even finished the video, yet! Ahh that was so wonderful ♡♡
btw, pls make an editing vid and how you make your photos wonderful!!
Its good cuz its clean and quiet and I love cold weather too .
Amazing video! Which camera did you use to shoot the videos? Lovely.
I live in south east asia and everytime i see you vlogging in west country, i always loving it by how gorgeous it is compare to by country... Also love your video as always the quality is just amazing and your pics on instagram really digging it.
Thanks! Some of the most beautiful places I've seen have been in South East Asia - it's an amazing region with so much to offer!
Very cool hope you enjoyed your visit. Born and raised here in Toronto. Curious where did you grab that fancy looking poutine?
Smokey's poutine on king west, just east of Bathurst
love toronto, live toronto, alive toronto. summer is the great at all. welcome back.!!
Hey are you from Toronto?
Yes 👍
@@Tsetenchung48 😁That makes me so happy. I always wanted to speak to Canadian people. And I always said to myself: one day you will move to canada because life is short and you have to be happy.
Welcome to Canada! Bienvenue!
CN Tower is fine and good,but I don’t think I’ve seen a new photo of it in years.I know I certainly haven’t taken anything new where it’s concerned.But there are a lot of neighborhoods that photograph really well.Best among them is Kensington Market,Beaches,Parkdale,Midtown and Queen West.Try doing something without the tower.
Do you get any crash issues with the Fuji, I saw on another video recently some issues that I hadn't heard before, was surprised so would be interested to know if any issues you've encountered with the Fuji cameras?
I've had it freeze about 2 or 3 times in the 8 months I've owned my X-H1. Just remove the battery and reinsert, then carry on as normal. My Canon froze about the same amount of times, but my Sony on the other hand was ridiculous with crashes! I always use super fast memory cards (150mb/s U3 UHS-II Class 10) so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with my limited number of problems compared to others.
I rly love Toronto and Canada. I wish one day in my life I can move there
Loved Toronto when in Canada. The tower is amazing.
If you're an introvert Toronto is low key heaven lol
I’m visiting Toronto in a few weeks , nice work ! You’re a 🐐
Omg you were literally right in front of the library I'm in right now!
Welcome to Canada, Joe!!
if u want some good shots of the skyline in Toronto check out riverdale park or some spots on the islands those are some of my favourite
I hope to live in Canada and settle there🥺🥺🥺
Toronto, like everything in Canada, is a tale of two seasons. Four actually, since we get four glorious seasons in most of the country. But Toronto in winter is very different from Toronto in summer. Come in the summer, and you'll get the urban forest to cool you down and make you forget about the ugly glass condos and dark grey skies. You'll get the parks and ravines, possibly run into some wildlife. The lake and the islands. Beaches even. In winter...well, it's winter. And unless you dress for the occasion and make winter your bitch, best stay home. Canadian winter is no joke. Toronto needs a Winterlude festival or a Carnaval like they have in Ottawa and Quebec. Why don't we have one? Not cold enough?
CANADAAAAAA!
Banff is staggering.
So nice! Make a Vancouver Tour bro
I prefer Quebec City over Montreal. I had amazing poutine there. You'd love the history as well. Spent many summers in Toronto growing up. Miss it.
A lot of people have mentioned Quebec City to me. I need to make sure I fit it in, when I next visit the region!
I live in Montreal so I may be biased but I've been to Quebec city numerous times and honestly no comparison to Montreal. Québec's old town is nice but that's where it ends
@@joeallam . Because it is Europe in North America. Nothing special for an european but so special for North America.
you mentioned melbourne! i love melbourne. thinking about going to toronto. i would love it if it was like melbourne or sydney as much as possible!! of course the trams are there!!!!
Ur video editing is perfect dude
