>>4353486wouldn't a CPL fix that shot?
>>4353527Probably yes but I purposely chose to shoot the city in that specific spot to get the reflection of the massive LED screen
>>4353509why is this framed so poorly?>Contax G1ohlol
>>4353485>>4350809A thread died for this
>>4353532Yeah I remember framing the car almost center through the viewfinder, didn't take into account that I was holding a rangefinder...Oddly enough this issue has only ever come up when shooting into mirrors and every other shot I feel comes out exactly as I envisioned/remembered.
stop photographing backs of heads you pussy. If you're going to shoot 'street' then you need to piss people off. It's Japs ffs - they don't get much meeker.
>>4353527perhaps, but I've been in tokyo tower before and the glass is shit for taking photosthe interior lighting bounces on it from multiple angles, and its angled in most places so you can't put the camera flat against it[EXIF data available.

>>4353485Based camera combo, best film rangefinder ever made in terms of technology and looks I'd sayI've also got fond memories of using a Frontier SP-3000 when I was a student doing an internship in a labI especially enjoyed:>>4353485Where is this shot from?

>>4353533and nothing of value was lost
>>4353544The price of film and its consequences have been a disasterDigital cameras with good colors are expensive or huge, no in between. Film cameras are cheap and small but we cant afford the film. Now we just sit around and be angry at digital cameras.
>>4353536>olympic street photography enthusiasts strike again>not art. sport. >craftsman? no. cameraman. >quality scored in “winogrands”>2027 will bring new regulations requiring film borders in scans and a ban on cropping to make it more sportingGood photos op you actually have a creative eye instead of an imitative one
>>4353557I'm sorry you've never taken a good picture.
>>4353536I thought photography was a creative hobby? If you just want to copy some anti-art hack like bruce gilden just learn to use generative AI.>>4353517>>4353518Valuable images. Save these.
>>4353590a cat snapshit is closer to a good photo than any ny school street garbage
>>4353485Are you saying you cranked the magenta or the lab did?
Nice pictures OP
>>4353543Thanks anon. The temple photos are from Enoshima Island!The grape selling was setting it up late in the evening which surprised me but it's summer so I guess it kind of makes sense. >>4353604I did. Developed (with a Fuji processor so didn't really do anything except prep and feed the rolls lol) and scanned the photos myself.[EXIF data available.

>>4353815Thanks anon. Being on the train which ran parallel to the coast and on tracks through very narrow streets for multiple stops from Enoshima to Kamakura was insane to me.

japen
>>4353485>Contax G1OH NO NO NO NO HAHAHAHA
>>4355329Seems to be working fine for OP
>>4353485This one's a bit messy, there's the red gate that draws a lot of attention, but there also are the very bright roofs of the houses behind it, the light spots on the tree on the left and the big roof on the right, the smaller red post with the cyan roof...It's quite cluttered.>>4353486I like this one a lot.I personally think it would look better without the head outline in the reflex because that way the reflection's shape would have a lot more in common with the city beyond the glass instead of a curved shape that's JUST there, but someone else might like a human element in all that concrete and glass.>>4353487Pretty cluttered as the first, there's a "main" shape but many many other unrelated things like the horizontal bar, the signs, the sky... that imo take away from it.>>4353488The horizontal lines aren't horizontal.>>4353489Nice, if quite pedestrian.Maybe a tad unbalanced since the dark part on the right is much bigger than the dark part on the left.>>4353490This one looks like you took pictures in locations that you've seen in anime.>>4353491This one's pretty boring.>>4353493Same as above, it's like a picture you might find on a middle school textbook talking about subcultures; as much as the subject might look interesting the picture itself is quite plain and boring.>>4353494This one doesn't even have much of an interesting subject.>>4353495This one's neat.Nice framing, albeit I think it would have been better with the person slightly more on the bottom right, to evidence the path more, this way instead it looks like the path is split into two.>>4353497I like this one too, though the difference in clutter, color variations... between the top third and the bottom half is a tad too big.>>4353498Nice colors, but still a snapshit.>>4353500Nice one.>>4353501Nice one as well.>>4353502Same as the spikey hair guy picture.>>4353503Plain old snapshit.
>>4353504I too think it's a nice scene, but the picture isn't making much to highlight it.You could have made the family look more lost by framing it so that they looked more separated from everyone else for example.>>4353505Snapshit.By the way, doesn't it seem wild to you that girls from 7th to 12th grade have to show that much of their legs to everyone?Or maybe anglo puritanism has poisoned my mind.>>4353506Nice one.It might have been a bit better if you had gotten symmetric amounts of black on the top and bottom.Or maybe not.>>4353507Snapshit.>>4353508Little more than a snapshit, it looks like it's meant to show how busy and chaotic the city is, but the police car comes out too strongly, and there's not enough chaos visually.>>4353509Snapshit.>>4353510Good one, if a bit monochrome.I'd have liked it better if there had been quite a bit more space on top, or even a bit less, this much looks like a bad compromise.>>4353511Snapshit.>>4353514Ahah.Bit of a snapshit though, the top and bottom halves look like they belong to two different pictures.>>4353515Snapshit.>>4353517Artsy looking snapshit.>>4353518While this might be interesting from a cultural standpoint, it's not very interesting visually.>>4353519Nice, if a bit plain.>>4353527It would have removed the reflection, but whether that would have improved the shot is debatable.>>4353533It was a gear thread.Great job OP, keep it up.>>4353538I like this sort of night skyline pictures, but the low image quality sadly takes a lot away from it.
>>4353543Neat picture, if a bit simple, but since the geometry is the main interesting part about it it would have been a lot better if you had taken a few steps back and had used a longer lens or cropped the picture, to make the stuff on the left and right of the center path look more symmetrical.It's odd, it looks like you were dead center but the small building on the right looks much further away compared to the one on the left because of the perspective.It's as if you weren't in the center and applied some perspective correction in post that didn't work all too well.It's odd.>>4353701I don't like the framing very much.You have a gate there that's supposed to be the gate toward something, but aside from the striking color it doesn't frame anything, the people are much too small and the buildings go way above it.>>4353815Nice idea, shame about the clouds casting a shadow over the lower fifth and the fog making the further away buildings a lot more blurry.>>4353838Snapshit inside a black frame.>>4353856The horizontal lines aren't horizontal and the vertical lines aren't vertical.The sky has a really nice color though, and I like the picture overall, even though the people on the bottom are a bit of a distraction and the clouds aren't symmetrical relative to the palace.
>>4355462>It would have removed the reflection, but whether that would have improved the shot is debatable.yeah I think reflection but no negative space caused by the silhouette would be the most kinobut it's still a good shot.
>>4355462>the low image qualitythere's bit of bad glass between the lens and the city, as OP said its hard to take a good shot there if you don't sperg out and bring a tripod to a tourist spot.
>>4355469>there's a fair bit of glassBy all means, I'm not saying you didn't do enough, rather that the conditions were what they were.>sperg out and bring a tripod to a tourist spotIt's quite the opposite imo, you'd have to really not give half a fuck about others to bring a tripod to a tourist spot, it's the last thing a sperg would do.
>>4355487I'm not OP, FWIW.there are two kinds of spergs, both hate each other more than normies. Those self aware ones, and those clueless.
>>4355446>>4355462>>4355464tl;dr they're all snapshits that couldn't even be saved by an expensive film simulator

Good threadDo it more, OP
Very nice photos anon
>>4355462>7th to 12th grade have to show that much of their legs to everyonebyproduct of being a high trust society ran by geezers who probably like having girls show of their youthfullness
>>4364001That you two pilgrims even think there’s anything unusual or weird that a kid wears a long shirt and “shows that much leg”, makes you seem like the pedos finding that sexually stimulating. Japan isn’t a barbaric Arab country putting their girls in garbage bags. …and thank fuck it isn’t the barbaric US either.
