If you've been following my videos for a few years, you'll know I love a wet-down!
What's a wet down, you ask? It's when there's a layer of moisture coating the surface of the environment. Commonly seen on Hollywood movie sets and of course after the rain; it's one of the best ways to accentuate the natural contrast and saturation of lighting in a scene and I love it!
I've made quite a few vlogs in the rain and they're among some of my favourites ever. There's just something about the difficulty and effort involved when taking photos in the rain, that the reward is just that much sweeter at the end!
Join me on this vlog as we chase down the rain in Soho, London, for some dark and moody street photography.

that 50mm f2 is probably one of fuji's best lenses, so underrated as well as most people get caught up with the wider aperture variants, which imo, are too bulky for anything other than studio work.
Always hated the rain but now with photography I’m actually inspired to go out and shoot in a city that has a lot of lights. Reminded me of that rainy night photo vlog in Tokyo. Thanks for sharing 🍻
If you can't beat it, join it! That Tokyo night vlog is one of my most memorable for sure. That whole 2 month period in particular was just so much fun!
I loved all of the red reflections you managed to get. Super cool images.
Love this video, I have viewed a coupl previously but now i am subscribed. I know how rain can change a scene. One of my favourite photographs was taken in Convent garden mid/late 80's from in front of the church looking up to the pub but also takin in the lower level. Pentax MX f2.
I love your photography vlogs in London.
Great vlog! I love the “neon noir” vibe- Blade Runner/Altered Carbon/Cyberpunk vibes for sure!
I’m always so nervous with my X-T3 in the rain or snow- I sometimes have to remind myself that it IS weather sealed 😂
Thanks for the "rainy insights". And the shoutout to the 50mm f2. Which I like very much myself because (my style) it compresses the perspective and goes for the details and, as you pointed out, flattens the viewing angle in the distance. It's a bit against the trend in street photography. But that's what variety in the lens bag and in personal styles is for.
Hiya! Love your channel, was wondering if you will do a vid on recommended XT4 settings for night photography?
Joe these pictures are great 👍 love your videos keep up the good work
Very nice videos and really nice photos. I always enjoy your videos and content.
Nice images and a great video thank you
Can't wait for the next video 📸
Do you have a video on, or can you share how you set up your camera settings with this lens regarding the auto focus? I just got the X-T5 and am struggling to get the auto focus right and not blurry.
great one. thanks you! ❤⚡
Beautiful images Joe
Thanks, Ivan!
Some lovely images, great tips for photographing in the rain. Hope you enjoyed the film.
Cheers! The film was alright... I think I was expecting more from it haha! Visually it was quite inspiring, so I'm happy with that
Thanks for this Joe! Your content has inspired me to get out into the street more and just today I used my lunch break to take a walk around Great Malvern.
I just wish I had a nice prime lens to use rather than my kit lens. 🤣
Excellent! For years I used to use my lunch breaks as my main "creative me" time. Sometimes I look back and think I got more done in an hour than I do now in a few hours...
I haven’t had a proper look at the photos yet but the ones I got of a Morgan Plus Four outside of a hotel, I’m really happy with.
The best use of wet streets I’ve seen is the movie The Third Man , stunning photography
Hi Joe, video as always mate, I was thinking it would be great if you could share your Exif data/what settings are used in these night shots. I was there in Covent Garden and my pictures were soo high in noise - argh. Liking the silver XT-4! #X-PRO-2
Hi Joe I have just subscribed to your channel after seeing you on Tom Heaton's vlog. I've just swapped my Fuji 56mm f1.2 for the 50mm f2 and wow what a lens. It's so sharp and the AF is fast. Looking forward to testing it on the street.
Hello Joe hmm F2 nice and walking around in the rain London, subjects feeling and mood, as qell as timing and a bit of luck, loving this.
Absolutely love these little F2 lenses - portability and quality all wrapped up in one!
Very nice video :) Im wondering what iso you used in the most dark scenes. The images are very crisp.
Great video!
It’s really nice to see people to go out in down in the rain, just minding they’re own business and doing stuff while you and your friend taking pictures. Very Cool video 😎😎🔥🔥☕️☕️
Haha so true! When looking back at the footage, I realised just how many people don't carry umbrellas with them. Considering how much it rains, we're really bad at remembering to carry one.
Awesome! What aperture are you shooting at?
Bronson playlists are dope!
The B-roll was just as good as the rest. 10/10
What's the lens hood you use?
Where is your camera lens hood from?
Serious question … at what point would you put the brolly up even with WR kit? Thanks ….
If I start wiping the EVF and lens every time I want to take a shot, I’d say it’s probably a good time to get the umbrella out. That being said, I think fine rain and condensation has been the secret killer for me in the past.
Apsc+50mm+rain. Perfect trio for streets.
10:59 this is what i found most interesting, thanks for sharing!
What about iso with f2 during the night?
I have the XF50 f/2 but I don’t like the lens hood that came with it, I’m looking for the round and vented one like the one you’re using, would you please tell me who makes it. Thank you.
Did you ever find it?
@@jd8774 No, and he never replied.
My comment got deleted for whatever reason… but it’s from a site called Afshoot
So like that Taipei101 shot with your colleagues under the brolly silhouetted 👍 at 1:43
Awesome video, always loved shooting in night after the rain.
By the way, I'm moving to London soon and was wondering is it generally safe to shoot street photography in London due to the crime rates?
Or is there certain zones that I'll need to avoid while taking photos alone.
Cheers.
Cheers! I think any city can have dangerous times, but I'd say it's usually circumstantial rather than definite no-go zones, especially within central London. Other areas and suburbs further out could give you a different feeling, but use your best judgement and always have contact with your items/bags to give you confidence. In the 12 years I've done this in London, I've never had any issues, but everyday I'm out, there are always some people I'm paying closer attention to than others. Learning to use the viewfinder with both eyes open is also a big help to keep awareness up!
Central London is safe but, no matter where you go 'things' can happen. Be street savvy, carry only what you need and try not to look like someone who has a lot of expensive camera gear.
1:44 Taipei 101😍
Fantastic video as always, Joe. The night photos also came out nice. How high would you usually push the ISO with XT-4 during night time on the streets?
Cheers! I'm frequently at iso3200, but sometimes 6400 and even 12800 in the darkest environments. I'd say I mostly float around 1250 though with retail signage helping light things up. I've got pretty steady hands, so I can often get away with a much slower shutter speed handheld and lower iso, so long as there isn't anything moving in the frame.
First thumbs up then look it. Greetings from Germany near cologne 👍😎
I'm off to Canary Wharf Saturday can't wait, 12 people coming, bring it on.
Brilliant - have fun! I always get stopped by security when walking around there with my camera. I think it's the big furry mic mostly that grabs attention. Hopefully you'll be fine!
@@joeallam Yep had that before, well will see, all the best Joe, and both have a great weekend.
It’s London, of course it will rain again! 😆
Hello Elly 😀

Is there something odd about the colour registration of this video..? Look at the top of the frame, there are magenta and green bars...
Not sure what you're seeing, but I can't see anything odd about the video on my end. Maybe try a different browser/device and see if it's replicated?
@@joeallam Hi Joe, yes, interesting, good call on trying a different browser - its fine on Microsoft Edge, but on my Chrome browser its like an out-of-registration 4-colour print! Your lips have a line of blue and you have blue eye-liner! At the top of the frame are green and magenta bars. I've tried reloading the video and restarting Chrome but its still there. V odd!
I like your images and your vlogs... but I´m often having trouble with this kind of "pitch-shifting" music, that reminds me of broken taperecorders... yes, I´m that old ;o)) ... Cheers
I don’t want to sound negative, but this lense has a flat rendering with no 3-D pop/dimensionality. Do you guys agree
Слишком много говоришь
A bit heavy on the lipstick, especially apparent when whatching from a big screen tv.
Totally bored with the lame music. Do some Ry Cooder next time if you can.
