Life in Japan - Pictures galore !! Arcades, Temples, Rainy days, etc

I NEED to visit Japan sometime....great pics

 

Not the best shots -- was testing out some fast (and not super quality) film on a body I'd not used. Mainly shot over exposed to see what would happen.

I used to live in Nakameguro back in 1999

I do really like the very first shot you took with the shitty film, the shot of the camera. The others look washed out but as you said, they were all shot over exposed.

 

Yeah, it's Natura 1600. Not exactly high dollar stuff.
I like desaturated colors sometimes though

 

My 4 yo son took all these pictures by himself. he really likes to walk around and take some random shots

A photo of the moon taken today. You really need to check out the HD version by clicking on the photo and heading off to Flickr

Ineresting. I bet if he keeps it up he could become a real pro.

 

Not a photo but a video

 

A few pictures taken over the last two weeks or so.

Very cool. Are those w/ the new camera?
I took a shit ton of photos at Burning Man, and haven't done much in Japan before or after. I'll get back on it though, especially now that I have the equipment to develop my own B&W.

 

Wow, Martin those are some awesome shots!

 

the butterfly and the deer one are marvelous!

 

Wow, that butterfly one is something else! Amazing shot!

 

Thanks all

@GP - RX1 for all except butterfly which was fully manual (!) with NEX-7 and a 90mm lens

 

My god... All these beautiful, cinematic, detailed shots are breath-taking. I apologize if this was mentioned before, but how do you get these to look so crisp Martin? I must know your black magic!

 

I want to know how on earth you got that shot of space.

 

Ah, cool. Auto focus is for pussies.
Haha.

FWIW, I'm no longer the owner of a 5d2, so my 100mm lens (which was awesome but admittedly got little use) will be gone soon. So, photos exposing my more gentle side will become a thing of the past.

 

I've successfully destroyed 1.3 rolls of film trying to develop myself. One of them was just a total head up my ass mistake... Luckily, it was just a roll testing out a flash, so not the biggest problem.

Anywho, some have survived.

Why so much grain? That looks like either super fast film or it was pushed several stops...
