MORNING MOMENTS in JAPAN with FUJIFILM X-T5 / X-H2S

--

Catching the early morning rush hour in Ikebukuro; one of my favourite areas of Tokyo, Japan. Taking photos with the Fujifilm X-T5 and filming with the Fuji X-H2S, I'm always surprised and amazed by how beautiful the light is here in Japan. There's honestly something different about it. It's kinda hazy but sharp and definitely chrome-y.

Maybe it's to do with how clean everything is, or maybe it's just geographic positioning? Something hits differently about it!

Following on from my recent video about my first look at the Fujifilm X-T5, I've got some extra thoughts about the X-T5 AF performance and how it compares between the X-H2 and X-H2S.

I hope you're enjoying the start to the Japan content — I've been out filming a lot lately and have plenty of great videos in the works, coming soon, with some sneak peeks going up on my Patreon too!

The sound and light of your Japan series hit me deeply. Having spent 4 years straight in Japan, you definitely made me wanting to schedule a visit soon.
Great vid as always, such a mood❤

That window in the fence is just great!
I've seen similar in a blind fence around a construction site, well 1 meter high, so the kids can see what's going on there :)

You really don’t have a clue how much I do miss Japan. So your vlogs there are really appreciated, look forward to the content to come, enjoy it and have a great time. Cheers from Germany

[seanrichards]

So awesome to see you back there! I can't wait to get back

[fahdkamal]

I have been to tokyo once every month since 2010 (i work in an airline) and i still am not bored of it in the slightest! Lots of opportunities for golden shots almost everywhere every time

Can't get enough of this, thanks 🙏🏼

[SamFournier]

I’m not a morning person but seeing that morning light I will have to get up early when I visit! So happy you’re getting the views you deserve🙌🏽

[orangeclipstv]

Dope video, anything Tokyo is always the answer! Great vibes.

[ErwinChung]

Congrats on your two episodes hot streak 🔥🔥 In response to your question, for me, it's the "Japan Effect" that has me watching your vids right away

[cliveeariss]

Ikebukaro is the first place.I ever stayed in Japan, and yes it has a.lot going for it, one of the best shots I ever took was coming out of the station in the rain, and you know.a shot that screams out, big seller that for me, great video guys, brings back some great times there, enjoy Japan, hi Elly, the weather here is still mild, and yep...some sunshine!!

[NitinG.]

Never been so fast to a new video haha
Loving the colors as usual and there is always something in Japan, that’s makes it interesting to go out and shoot. With or without people just in awe.
And no I’m not envious of you being in Japan while I have still to wait for next year 😭

Enjoy and treat Elly to good coffee, matcha and cake! :D
Cheers,

[lazyeyedjake]

Fantastic content Joe! I love seeing Japan through your eyes. I own the XH-2 and that bing bing button would indeed be a welcome change, hopefully in a firmware update. Keep up the good work!

As a, previously serial Fuji X owner, strayed & back with a pre/order XT5, I’m not sure why I hadn’t come across you before? The XT5 was the link, but what has got me to subscribe is the sheer enthusiasm and infectious love you have for photography and Japan. Such a fascinating country and one I’d love to visit
some day, including also the surprising amount of amazing scenery it has. Look forward to more of your Japan based vlogs.

Great to see you guys back in Japan, it’s a place I enjoy immensely. I worked for Diamaru in Melbourne ant traveled to Japan with them, I love the vibe of Japan, and you capture it perfectly.
