Congrats, Take! Thanks to you we made a road trip from ABQ to Vancouver a few years ago, enjoyed the city and hanging at Revolver Coffee. I feel you are more influential in the photography space than mere TH-cam stats would show. Looking forward to this year’s content!
I remember watching your videos, years ago. I just rediscovered your channel in these last few weeks and actually noticed the frequency of the uploads. I wondered if it had become the new normal. I heard you reference a trip to Taiwan in one of your recent videos. I went to your channel to see if I could find a video from your Taiwan trip, but no luck. Did you do a video about your time in Taiwan?
Taki, congrats on your 10th anniversary on TH-cam! My channel turned 15 in 2024, though it’s not as big or photography-focused. I’d love to see sample photos in your camera and lens reviews, including the body, lens, and aperture you’re using. It would help those unfamiliar with gear and bring back the vibe of your earlier work. Just some food for thought-keep it up!
Thanks, wow 15 years is an accomplishment. Yes my official reviews always include sample images. If it says first look or first impressions, there’s none because I haven’t shot with it yet. Plus most of my main Fujifilm reviews end up on Fujilove magazine. The last review on my TH-cam channel was on the D-Lux 8 and I have tons of samples as I go through my folder in Flickr.

I haven’t seen you 28, TH-cam quit recommending you somewhere along the way. I just saw one of your latest, I will go back and check them out. I always enjoyed your videos. I look forward to to catching up on your recent videos…
28 videos? damn ill really need to go on a marathon to watch them all now. honestly i usually clip the mic inside the shirt, so its basically rotated so the bigger part is inside the shirt and the shirt helps hold it in so you can avoid the look of the mic hanging down and pulling your shirt down. hopefully this explanation makes sense. clip the mic inside the shirt, and for me at least it seems to still work perfectly fine.
Thanks for the tip, but I don’t think this DJI mic is that good to be honest. I’m definitely not complaining though. This set up is the best compromise to a full gear set up.
@@bigheadtaco i see, I personally use the DJI wireless mic 1 . I personally have not used it for vlogging so may not experience the issues you have any other wireless mic you are interested in if you could switch models?
28 videos in 28 days... a lot of work! Have enjoyed every one of them. 👍👍 An idea for a video: compare the stellar Fuji XF 18mm f1.4 to the aging XF 18mm f2. Ps. I have a copy of SGC #20 on the way... looking forward!
Thanks for your support, I appreciate it!! I have been waiting for an update on the XF18mm f/2 R so I could do a comparison between that and the mighty XF18mm f/1.4 R LM WR. But maybe it might not ever come?
@@bigheadtaco Hard to say about a new XF 18mm f2 (but I'd be the first in line). In terms of a comparison I was thinking old vs. new. Maybe the old timer is still relevant? Maybe it still shines in its own ways?
You know, it never bothered me that you hold the mic but I have noticed more ambient noise from the restaurant this time around. To me the ambient noise is a little distracting...more so than you holding the mic. Not a big deal, just letting you know.
Ya I noticed. People don’t realize how important good audio is. It way better holding this mic vs clipping it on. I have good lav mics, but they don’t plug into this unit.
Hey Roland, as CafeYVR said, it’ll be too long. This video was over 20 min. I cut it down to under 13. Even with notes, I tend to go overtime. Too many side points 😅😅😅
Wow you actually actually managed to post 28 videos in 28 days “a year’s worth of videos in less than one month” congratulations! That’s a fantastic achievement especially when each video provided so much value for the viewers. Looking forward to watching your next. Upload. ✌️
Very insightful, thanks for sharing your learnings, will be applying them to my own output goals. 100K will be here soon! Keep up the great content
Thanks for your support, and all the best to your own goals!!
What an accomplishment, congrats! Your dedication and creativity are truly inspiring. Happy 28th!
Thanks for your support!!

Thanks, I’m glad my videos can help some people!!
Proud of you, bro! It was so cool posting daily alongside you. Can't wait to hang out soon!
Yeah it was a blast! Thanks for the inspiration and motivation. Looking forward to nerding out on stationary soon!

I shot one video at Wotancraft’s retail store, but the full visit video is still in the works. That’s one of the videos I need to finish….

A periodic Chinatown Confessions retrospective would be interesting.
Good idea, thanks!
Thanks for the inspirational video 🙂🙏
My pleasure 😊

@ I have the Rode Wireless Pros but I would have to record seperately and sync it later in post. The whole purpose of the DJI is that it’s all-in-one

lol STOP the brutal editing :-) just stream live and post the video of the live stream. Just kidding, you be you!
Take will end up streaming for 10 hours 😅
