what's up everyone my name is John and
welcome back to Tokyo Japan it's my last
day in Japan again and there is
something very loud over there
so yeah I've come to college it is today
and I'm gonna be getting some street
photography with just the crew to film
x100s I do have my Canon with me as well
but as similar to my other days out
taking both of this I'm just gonna enjoy
using the 3d film so yeah head on and
when you say hello to ku - a lot of
people they think of takeshi - dorri
numbers is probably one of the busiest
streets in the area and most people just
kind of come to see that but I've been
here a few times and I want to explore
more of the side streets and back
streets because I think they're really
photogenic and actually really quiet at
times as well which is quite interesting
so I guess we'll go and explore and
hopefully you'll see a different side to
what you would normally see if you're
looking at halogen see
[Music]
so the area is kind of known quite
prominently for fashion but there's also
a lot of photography around here if you
go around you'll see plenty of
photographers just kind of like waiting
around snapping local street portraits
of people for various fashion blogs
fashion magazines and outlets and things
like that it's actually really it's
quite interesting seeing how many are
just hanging about waiting for the
well-dressed person to walk past
so it's just gone 5 p.m. and it's the
middle of August currently in Japan as
it is everywhere else in the world and
it's just coming into that golden hour
and the sun's just start to dip in this
light making this really nice golden
light just kind of toasting the tops of
the building that's really quite lovely
it's gonna walk around some more of the
quietest streets and potentially tour
some in the residential areas because
houses around here are really nice
[Music]
amazing season this amazing I've just
been walking like literally minute two
minutes at a fairly slow pace as well
and there's known around now it's quiet
tokyo is crazy for things like that you
know from dense population to nothing if
any of you guys have ever seen terrace
house on netflix by the way i love that
show it's so japanese but i feel like
these are the types of houses that they
live in they're just so cool they're
just really like industrial in their
design there's a lot of raw concrete i
love that style i know a lot of people
wouldn't but a lot of people would also
and this area is just primed for it
I bet it's expensive around here though
but you know you set goals high and you
achieve them at some point you get that
so the way I like to explore and take
photos around Asia is pretty much to
just have a wonder and see which
alleyway takes my fancy and where I want
to go next
I've kind of come to a point now where
come to a crossroad I've just come from
done that way and have come up here and
I can't decide which way to go so behind
me over this way we've got a pretty nice
little anyway what I like coming through
there
in front of me we have another road
it also looks kind of interesting so
yeah this is the way that I tend to
explore I just have a wonder and see
where see where my eye takes me I guess
that's the one thing I'm always trying
to promote when making these types of
blogs is that you can just kind of like
enjoy walking and exploring an area with
the camera and just kind of take it all
in that's how I like to travel so
hopefully these are kind of chilled and
relaxed and you guys enjoy these videos
hopefully because they're just you know
follow me around for the day whilst I'm
exploring and enjoying the area there's
just something about Asia that really is
just all the laneways and everything I'm
going to make a book about it at some
point
maybe multiple civ actually just a
change direction from my original plan
and I've got my cannon out now with the
70-200 so I'm gonna get some telephoto
shots alongside some stuff at the
Fujifilm I'm just kind of enjoying
looking down the alleyways and picking
out some subtle subjects to focus on
generally shooting at fairly large
apertures as well around 2.8 3.2 that
sort of size yeah and as I keep saying
I'm just having a chilled relaxing even
before I fly back to London tomorrow I'm
gonna miss Japan so much I mean last
time I was here I thought would be a
long time until I'm back and then turns
out over six weeks and then when it did
the Discovery Channel project so who
knows maybe there'll be another project
coming up I just I want to be here all
the time
one thing I particularly love about
Japan is how shiny a lot of the cars are
particularly the taxis so they got
variety of different colors there's
black ones green ones yellow ones but
the black ones in particular they just
look boss they look so good it's of
course shooting with the 70 to 200 now
you can really make them stand out and I
just love getting shots with the taxis
around here so the light is finally
starting to fade now and I'm still just
exploring some of these quiet roads but
I think in a moment I'm gonna head back
towards the main part of Harajuku and I
think I think on the top of Tokyo hands
there's an observation deck or like a
viewing deck of the crossroads I may go
and have a look and see if I can get
that or it could be the Starbucks up
there I'm not sure everything that's
really nice about this area is you get
some amazing shots so this place here
dispatched Tokyo there's some really
cool camera straps and camera bags and
all sorts of stuff this is more just a
note to myself actually to go and look
them up online afterwards but I thought
I'd share anyway because it's relative
to this
[Music]
well it's definitely sunset because you
can hear the birds are going crazy it's
weird I'm not used to that I mean I'm
used to it now that I've seen in
Australia and other places where that
happens but back home I swear the birds
they're just normal mate hope he doesn't
go mental at six o'clock but here every
night
[Music]
all right so I've now come to Tokyo
Plaza and I believe there's a viewing
deck on the sixth or seventh floor or
something so I'm gonna go and see and
have a look
[Music]
yeah turns out was right there is a
viewing deck up here on the top floor
there's a Starbucks over there and this
is like an outdoor terraced garden type
thing it's really nice up here and I
think this is where I'm gonna end this
video so I hope you've enjoyed following
me around today and getting some chilled
shots around hawlucha crew in Tokyo
Japan this is my last night in Tokyo I
don't know when our next be back but I
will definitely be back I hope you've
