A slightly different format from me this time, I thought I'd take you to an unfiltered day of photography in Tokyo testing my new Sigma 17-40 1.8.

Hey! I had fun experimenting with a new format, something a bit more unfiltered from me, let me know how you find it. It's just early days with this new Sigma 17-40 but so far I have been loving it. Also, if you fancy trying out these filters, here are the links!

Absolutely awesome video! Love walking around with you, so to speak. I like the somber mood in these street views, like soothing ASMR.

I really like this pov. Wee see your pov and then we see the photo you take. It is a great perspective.

Where's the ASMR channel? You have such a calming voice. Keep up the content!

Looks like such a cool place to photograph, especially in the evening. ❤

Hello Lisa. Great video. I found this video very relaxing to watch and I hope you have more videos in the future like this. I know your profile says the UK but I think I remember you said you were originally from Portugal. I like the results you obtained from the Sigma 17-40 1.8 and I like the K & F Concept products.

I use an XT5 with that same Sigma. I LOVE IT. It's amazing for travel, a little bit bulky, but gives you enough range to just carry that lens.

Lovely start. I remember you were using the 33mm last time you were at that little house. Wow how time flys when watching one of your videos. I look forward to your next one👍🏾

Wonderful photos, and I love the video format! What presets did you use for this one, Soft Hues?

パーフェクトデイズの音楽は好きなミュージシャンが多かったな。
武蔵境行ったなら餃子の満州オススメするよ。東京埼玉にあるお店。
FUJIはフィルムカメラの引き伸ばしレンズ2本まだ持ってる。
30年前ローライコードやオリンパスの1眼レフで撮ってました。
昔はFUJIのiso25の超微粒子のモノクロフィルムとかあったなあ

Great video! Love your Job! Could you tell me what camera do you use for your POV filming?? Thanks!!!

What settings did you use for osmo nano? Is it just auto?

@carltanner9065 1 day ago

Have you tried a "cyberpunk" look for your night photos? It'd make all the neon lights and the buildings look really interesting. Give your photos a "Blade Runner" or "Cyberpunk 2077" look. If you'd like that sort of look and feel, that is. Anyway, love the photos and the casual style of your video😊 I'd like to go to Japan, one day, to do some photography. And, go see some friends living there.

Great video, love the vibe and amazing pictures. I want to get a camera too for traveling, i am thinking about x-t2 or xt30 iii. Which one would you recommend for a great alrounder with great out of the camera pictures?

@ryu3700 1 day ago

Hi! I'm fairly new to photography, and I'm also interested in street photography and portraits.
I have a question. When you photograph people on the streets of Japan, do you usually ask for their permission before taking photos or posting them online?
I'd love to know how you approach this, as I'm still learning. Thanks!

Hey Lisa. What an amazing trip and an amazing place! As one fellow Sigma Creator to another may I ask what you use for the on-person video footage? I've got a SmallRig neck/chest mount for a GoPRo but it is so big and bulky. How do you do it? Thank you in advance.
