This set was just a quick walk around the neighbourhood. I really enjoy using the M6 and can understand why it is so revered, it’s a real joy to use and I’m loving getting to know it better.

I am also really enjoying learning getting more practice in with the rangefinder style of focusing as well as developing my own film

These shots are all taken one evening this week in Shibuya. It was my first time shooting with cinestill 800t and i’m more than happy with the results.

One thing I noticed is that the scans would often come out with widely different looking results from photo to photo so I took a little longer then usual tweaking the settings to get the look I was after, I then did some final adjustments in lightroom.

I was actually recording a video for my YouTube channel when I went out shooting these images but unfortunately all the data on the card came back corrupted, but non the less I had a good time making these photos and look forward to shooting cinestill again in the future.

Drop me a comment on the images you like the most.

Peace

It was a beautiful day and if you know anything about the light in japan at this time of the year then you know how rich and colourful it can be. I decided to tryout a roll of Ektar 100 for the first time and rated it at 50iso as I heard that it works well slightly over exposed in good light. I can honestly say I was not disappointed.

I hope you enjoy checking out this series of images which were taken in suburban Setagaya.

I’m really trying to spend as much time as possible taking photos and learning how to see the world in a more creative and interesting way, shifting my focus from mainly just trying to capture people in the streets but also to finding the beauty and interesting compositions and stories in the more mundane.

Shooting film and the restrictions it places on you can seem to some like a hindrance but to me it is liberating and it excites me when I work with this medium and am hoping I can master a deeper understanding of it as I continue to practice and learn.

I was a bit disappointed with this role as there was an error when I got them developed leaving some banding lines of colour running through the images but I wanted to share them regardless. For me things don’t always have to be perfect to post online, and especially with film sometimes you just have to accept and embrace the mishaps that come with using the medium. Photography is a journey and I love being able to share it with people and hope they will see improvement over time.
