Shooting Film: Fuji Astia 100F
As I continued on my photowalk with my friend David through Yanaka he was kind enough to give me a roll of discontinued and impossible to find Fuji Astia 100F. I have never shot this film before but I can say I have completely fallen in love with it. I remember when I first started shooting film a few people mentioned to be that nothing compares to looking at slide film for the first time. The colors I saw by just holding the slide up to my window were memorizing. If anyone knows any good shops for buying discontinued film please let me know. Today's Configuration: Leica M6J, Fuji Astia 100F, Various lenses
Exploring Yanaka is fascinating with its endless shrines, temples and cemeteries. I tried to focus on the details of the places we were exploring...
This temple we found was particularly charming....
I have been looking for Zen everywhere since moving to Tokyo...
It is good to see that the cones are being put to good use...
A taxi driver on a break...
Purple flowers by the traffic light...
A cool old Mini Cooper...
The cemeteries were very interesting to explore...
The color on this film is simply amazing... but you have to nail the exposure.
You can see the highlight just blew out on Dave's forehead...
I love the way red is so saturated...
Thanks for stopping by today. Check back to see what I was able to capture when I loaded a roll of Ektar...
