About to go shooting this morning. Love what you do James.
The Fujifilm videos begin! So glad you’re enjoying the Fuji life James!
Love this sooo mych thanks❤
like your composition. What is your IG?
loved this video and welcome to the fuji family! just wondering what recipes did you use when you were out shooting?
This is super cool. I love neighborhoods like this, especially the local ginzas that have all these shops. Also, the dead end around 4:58 is very interesting and in such a sad state. Fave photo and moment is at 6:38. Great shot. Also, dude looking at you like, "what and why is he taking a photo for…?" Great work.

That was a lovely video ! It is very interesting to see this kind of neighborhood in Tokyo, because that's not was comes to mind immediately when you think of that city. I honestly wouldn't even have guessed that it's Tokyo!
The fuji looks like a great camera, have fun !
Oh and I loved the bicycle shot near the end at 31:15 🙂
See you in the next one
I had never heard of the place but it immediately gave me Eastern Tokyo vibes, and sure enough it's one station down from Aoto where I've spent about 3-4 months living nearby. Wish I had known about it then! I know you don't seem to do many cityscapes, but there's a bridge just east of Aoto station that has marvelous view of the Skytree and, when it's clear enough, Mt. Fuji as well. Perfect if you feel like doing a panorama.
And welcome to the Fuji family. I just got back from a 10 day trip around Tokyo with an XT5 and XH2 shooting just about everything and anything I could. If you're looking for wider I can't recommend the 18mm 1.4 enough. The 23 f2 is wonderful and I got some great pictures with it, but the trip was my first chance to really use the 18mm and it really impressed me. I spent a rainy evening in Shimbashi with the 18mm on my XT5 and the 50mm f1 on my XH2 and it was honestly one of the best street photography experiences of my life! Though the 50mm f1 might be kind of overkill; I think the 50 f2 would be much more practical for most people.
But yes, I would love to see these scenes at night!
