A Calm Day of Film Photography in Nara (Japan)

  • On our third day in Japan we decided to do a little day trip to (in my opinion) one of the most magical cities in Japan: Nara! Located around 1 hours by train from Osaka, it's mostly known for the free roaming deer that are living throughout the entire city. I initially only brought my Leica M6, but since it was raining all day I spontaneously borrowed my partners Olympus AF-10 Super, shooting a variety of color and black and white films.

    Really enjoying your Japan series! We travelled there a few years ago, to many of the places you have covered and it's bringing it all back again... Such an amazing place to photograph no matter the weather. Thanks for sharing your adventures and keep up the excellent video work.

    I have really enjoyed your Japan series video and this one did not disappoint. Never been to Japan and through your video’s it really felt I was there. I have one very small criticism if I dare, it would be good if your still images were available on the screen for just a little longer. I can of course top the video each time (which what I did) to take a longer look at them.

    • @KarinMajoka

      Thanks so much for your comment, I appreciate it a lot! Actually, this is really valuable, constructive feedback for me! Since you kind of loose the ability to see videos from an outside perspective after editing them for so long, I loose the feeling of how long an image shall be presented on screen. Therefore, it's good to hear I can show them for a bit longer next time, thanks you! :)

    The black and white works very well on a rainy day. What black and white film stock would have chosen if you had to do it again ?

    • @KarinMajoka
      @KarinMajoka  3 місяці тому

      Thanks, even though I am not super fond of the look in general, I think it works nicely in this situations. If I would be able to go back, I would probably use HP5 instead, maybe even pushed to 1600. :)

    I remember in the beginning, I would have a developing session to develop all of my film myself every month. This was 4 years ago. Today, I probably develop every 3-4 months and now have a backlog of 20-30 rolls lol 😅 where has the time gone...

    • @KarinMajoka
      @KarinMajoka  3 місяці тому

      That's how times changes! Would you say, you simply shoot less film or what's the reason for the shift?

    for black and white photos, i suggest developing prints in the dark room since chemical burns do a better job at smoothing out the grains. nonetheless, great pics

    • @KarinMajoka
      @KarinMajoka  3 місяці тому

      Of course, getting physical handmade prints is always the best. Sadly, not everybody has access to a darkroom these days. Thanks for your comment!

    • @KarinMajoka
      @KarinMajoka  3 місяці тому

      Bring the film you like and usually enjoy shooting! :) And yes, Fuji can be found but is harder to find and certainly less affordable than one might think. Have a safe trip! :)

    Kimchi ist koreanisch.

    • @飛-j5g
      @飛-j5g 3 місяці тому

      Kimchi comes from Korea, but it's also part of everyday meals in China and Japan, with some slight differences in taste. The restaurant Gyoza no ohsho in the video is a Chinese food chain that started in Japan, so technically it's a Chinese restaurant but mixes in flavors from different countries

    • @KarinMajoka
      @KarinMajoka  3 місяці тому

      Thanks for the clarification! :) It's actually fun to thing about it: being in Japan, eating at a Chinese restaurant that serves a Korean dish (even though Kimchi is common all over Asia and not only Korea).

    Scew film! I love digital,esp. in poor light! Why buy a high end Leica digital that stayed home? Plain silly.
