what I like about this shrine is not tourists
so in that last video Alexander learned how to use a camera and we're gonna take
those skills now and we're gonna try and capture lightning I'll explain that in a
minute certainly Ginza/Shimbashi area today for
a little bit of a meeting the building that I'm meeting at that was really cool
let me show you this this is it right here
to meet Lucas so I've been here for the better part of two or three hours now
I'm actually inside of one of those capsules we're working out some projects
the window does not open probably wouldn't want it to open anyway now back
in the day to have these really cool circular shades oh it's like spiral
shaping and one or two other capsules still has the original shade so you can
see it from the street but yeah ours is is gone it's just like a regular window
look seven years ago Lucas took a photo out in this area at a spot that many
people take a photo of it was just spectacular let me show you that for a
second Lucas has been trying to recreate that photo
for the better part of a decade he's trying to recreate it for the people in
his workshop so they can learn how to do that and it is exactly
and while we're here Lucas has agreed to show me the roof of this building which
is called Nakagin Capsule Tower you most definitely seen photos of this
place before and if you didn't you saw it in the opening but we're out on the
roof and this this isn't it like I can just point the camera in any direction
right now check this out
even this building here has a very Mirror's Edge feel to it if only these
pipes were red yeah the light is perfect for what we want to do yeah yeah it's
just that super-bright heavy science you like this guy's lit up it couldn't ask
for a better life like this is exactly why let's go in there and then we're
going to use the reflection on the mirror to get a nice kind of
kaleidoscope of people in life
see how deep the rabbit-hole goes right all right so since Lucas knows how much
I love sharing hidden little secrets he's sharing one of his with me today we
just came up the Main Street in Ginza there yep and he's saying that we can
just do a straight line shot right down to this shrine shrines right here
there's the marker for it you know you wouldn't think oh it's
terrifying back there well there is a shrine deck it's really dark
what does this remind you guys out
damn place right I love the sea we've all got our little
tokyo secrets yeah even got like the Bell and
everything people do actually come free let me let me take two seconds to show
you guys this you know
I'm hearing a lot when I bring you know people here for my workshops and one day
when we were here the guy who manages this little shrine came here by chance
and he said oh you're interested why don't you look inside and you unlock
this door and there's a little altar in there you know those shrine that was the
one once-in-a-lifetime kind of chance though look up there
Lucas has us using the reflection of the light off of these mirrors that cascades
across the people to try and catch faith is even if you time it perfectly and
everything comes together just the subject themselves might not be that
interesting so you also got to wait for an interesting person or some cool
action that we're doing make it a little bit more you know let
me play around with some of the camera settings and show you guys exactly what
I mean
it brings us back to this part of the video we're climbing a lot of stairs
right now getting really tired I'll be okay let's just let's just
get the you know the glitzy Ginza out there and it was like rich over here
yeah you know such a cool contrast
yeah that's pretty good
all right Lucas just had a really cool idea so we're gonna find a spot and put
the camera down for a second just let's do that he said let's play a game with
this let's put up three pictures and have everyone guess who shot which
picture so we're gonna put three pictures picture one picture two and
picture three right now it's up to you you can guess in your head or you can
leave it in the comments below where we gonna reveal it let's do a bit of a
drumroll we have a drumroll
and here it is I said just overlay the photos
there you go guys is that what your guests also sorry about the audio
quality here back to the shrine it hit because my legs are dead from all those
check
Alexander to have Alexander here but he's off getting pictures you may or may
not have inspired him I hope so goal even I had a lot of fun with them I went
into this knowing what to expect but I still had a lot of fun there's one that
I really really want to do with Lukas and he has this photo adventure called
vertigo where you go up under rooftops and give cityscape shot if that's
something you're interested in leave it in the comments below he will see that
we're gonna put the pressure I'll respond to comments a little bit as well
so if there's any questions about cameras or anything how many different
photo adventures are you running right now between tokyo kyoto and osaka I
heard that there's a chance in the future of you having some form of like
collaborative yeah that's the idea so maybe we'll have you on board yeah so
much fun yeah I guess you go that way and I go this
and guys just rip my shoe did you really just rip me a little bit yeah if you
guys enjoyed this video definitely give that like button some love if you're new
