Exploring The Blue City With My Favourite Lens… Chefchaouen, Morocco

- I spent two days photographing the wonderful 'Blue City' of Chefchaouen in northern Morocco. In my street photography style I attempt to capture and convey the beauty of this place while trying to avoid cliche shots, or repeating the same idea over and over again (a person walking down a blue alley!).
Sit back and enjoy this calming POV street photography video.

Morocco is such a captivating country. So different to Europe and yet just on our doorstep. I'm off to Marrakech next month. My third visit. First time with my current Fujifilm kit. The video is rather special.
Thank you! I adore Morocco, very jealous that you’re going soon. Hope you have a great trip 🙏🏻
The People are so chill 😂 great relaxing video
جميل الضوء في المغرب....🌞👍
Just subscribed Tim great production totally baffled at the 2.7k deserve more your now one of my go to,s here is to you growing your channel all the best dougie
Hey man! Really appreciate the comment and your kind words! I’m slowly starting to grow the channel and it’s comments like these that keep the motivation up, so thank you again 🙏🏻
In the first few seconds, there was a scene of an open front door and a curtain used instead. I remember this method when I was a child, it provides privacy and allows air to flow in the house (you'll need a window or a door open at the other side).. What a lovely memory you just triggered 🙂 Stray cat feel so safe & relaxed, treating the city as one home.
What a lovely comment! I’m so happy that the video triggered that happy memory for you :) and absolutely! There were so many cats!!
The colours are so calming :)
Thanks, Kaitlin! Appreciate you taking a look at the channel and leaving a comment 🙏🏻
Beautiful images and accompanying soundtrack. I love this video. I just want to watch it all over again. Thanks Tim.
Thanks so much, Mary! That’s such a lovely comment 🙏🏻
Amazing pics! Congratulations.
Thanks a lot! Glad you think so ✌🏻
So so so good. Amazing pics man 👌
Thanks man, really appreciate it 👊🏼
Lovely video 😊 I went there back in 2018 and I loved it. Hopefully 🙏🏽 going back again sometime soon
Thank you, Natalie! It’s so beautiful there, I loved it too
Absolutely beautiful. These colours! The frames, reflections, the lights and shadows and the people. Great! Always an inspiration for me.
Thanks for the lovely comment. Honestly I really appreciate it - keeps me creating. I’m really happy you enjoyed the work 🙏🏻
My goodness, you make some beautiful photos. I felt like I was able to feel I was there. Thanks.
That’s such a lovely comment! Thank you, Pam :)
An inspirational location delivers a great set of shots. Hard to pick a favourite.
Thanks, Geoff! It’s certainly a special location, only scratched the surface. I can’t wait to go back!
Amazing video Tim - really enjoyed seeing all the shots from your trip, mate.
Thanks so much, Courts! Have a few more videos from the trip to make. Looking forward to sharing them :)
@@timjamiesonphotos ahh fab! Can't wait mate!
Love every second of this! 💙
Aww thanks mum 🙏🏻
@@timjamiesonphotos Take me with you next time please!
Hi Tim.
I've been looking forward to your Moroco vlogs and well worth the wait. What an amazing place and fantastic photos. 👍
Thanks so much mate! Really appreciate it 🙏🏻
Great vid & shots Tim. Love the vibrant colours and ambient music, all very relaxing! Chefchaouen is definitely on the wish list to visit.
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it :). Tried to convert the dreamlike feel of the place a bit in the video, so glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic captures. Obviously the colorful buildings help a lot but these are so nicely done in terms of composition. Probably my favourite video of yours so far.
Thank you! I’m really glad you think so. I’m not sure how travel street photography content is going to go down on my channel but I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
Gorgeous series of images. The first one with the child in the shaft of light and the different versions of people & the blue staircase are personal favourites but they are all so good.
Thank you, Alan! Much appreciated 🙏🏻
Really beautiful frames and footage! Congratulations! 👏
Many thanks, Roland! It’s a beautiful place 🙏🏻
What a wonderful city! Everything is so beautiful that it's even difficult to decide what to include in the frame and what to leave out. It's truly a place worth visiting. Street photography lovers would be enchanted by a location like this. Maybe one day I'll have the chance to visit this city. Congratulations on the beautiful video.
Thanks so much, Ronaldo! Like so many other beautiful locations it can be pretty overwhelming on first arrival not knowing where to go or what to capture, but taking it slow and with a bit of patience the overwhelm dissipates a bit and it’s easier to focus on making nice shots :). I hope you get to visit some day, it’s truly beautiful!
These are so amazing! These photos tell so much about this part of the world I know so little about. Now, I want to know more. These photos are both editorial and artistic. So lovely!
Many thanks, Michael! Really appreciate the comment 👌🏻👍🏻
Finally Morocco 👏👏👏I’ve been looking for your Morocco episode ever since you started posting the pictures on your Instagram account. What a great sharing! I hope you enjoyed your time traveling and can’t wait for more great contents to come. Bravo Tim 🎈🎈🎈
Thanks so much! I’ve got a lot of footage and a lot of images to edit from the trip, so hopefully a couple of nice videos coming up! I’m glad you enjoyed this one :)
Lovely photos and due to the great, warm light the feeling is quite intimate, homely.
Thanks a lot! The light was just perfect the whole time I was there - I was very lucky 🙏🏻
@@timjamiesonphotos reminds you why you are so grateful living in the UK... no wait a minute...
Haha! Pretty lucky to live in the UK to be fair… but travelling is my passion, so working on a way to make travel more permanent in my life!
@@timjamiesonphotos was in the UK near London for 7 years, to be honest, the constant grey mild weather is great in a day to day setting. imagine cycling in marocco april to september.
good luck making travel a more permanent in your life. you mean commercially or 'just' rivately?
Oh boy yeah that would have been hottt. It’s great being from England but I love travel - especially Asia. I spent many years travelling and living abroad in my 20s and I’d love to do that again but need a steady income… maybe, just maybe if the ol’ TH-cam takes off one day… 😅
While the locals seem to take tourists in their stride, it’s early days for them.
They will, like many other tourist hotspots, get to the point where they will tire of the visitors just like many of the locals of Venice.
Even places like Mousehole, Cornwall and Luss, Scotland have had enough of the tourists too due to the loss of privacy, because these places have become overwhelmed by the influx of people.
Yes, it’s a beautiful town… one that has only come to my notice this year due to a few TH-camrs highlighting the place.
Enjoy it while you can as it will become another Venice where it will be so busy with people, it’ll be uncomfortable to be there.
Not sure about that mate, like so many places in the world their economy relies on tourism, just like Cornwall, Scotland etc etc. Chefchaouen has been a tourist hotspot for tens of years. And TH-camrs have been making videos about it since the start of TH-cam, it’s not a secret spot 😅. Have you been? What I heard multiple times after speaking to locals there, is especially after covid they need all the tourists they can get 👍🏻
Great vid and stunning pictures as always! I gotta visit there placer one day, definitely. Thanks for the upload👍🏿
Thanks, Tomasz! It really is a wonderful place :)
I like them all, though the hand prints resonate with my inner caveman.
Thanks Frank!
There are many favourite frames. But the first one (with a kid) is the best (for me)
Thanks man! That’s one of my favs from the video too. The light was 👌🏻
@@timjamiesonphotos exactly the light and momentum was superb!
Cheers!
Beautiful video and beautiful images... is it possible that you could include a number against each of the images, so as to reference when offering comments and/or feedback?
Thanks, Robin! Glad you enjoyed it 😊. Yeah I can definitely look to put that in for future videos :)
Which focal length did u use mostly for the vertical shots that u have taken in this video ?
35mm (50mm full frame equivalent)
I see you are using a fuji x100V.
Can I know the setting you are using (speed, aperture, iso...)
THANKS
It’s an X-E4 :)
What is the significance of the blue paint? Apart from the fact that it is the colours of my countries flag 🏴
No one knows for sure! There are multiple reasons that the inhabitants give but there isn’t really a solid answer for sure 🙏🏻
