A Calm Day of Film Photography in Nara (Japan)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 січ 2025
- 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.

Amazing shots! Film photography is such a rewarding hobby. There’s always something new, and I love seeing what others are doing!
I think you just convinced of two things in this video: I need to go to Nara and I need a Valoi😂🫶
Lovely piece from Japan again!🥹
Can confirm, the easy35 is super nice for 35mm “scanning” 😸
Thanks so much for your comment Teo! Nara is rather crowded with tourists but in my opinion still worth a trip! :)
You did an excellent job with this small chamber. I loved all the photos. I mostly love rainy days to do street photography. I really like black and white photography 😊
Thanks so much for your comment, I appreciate it! :)
What a beautiful and calming video! Thank you - this was just what I needed after a very stressful week 😊
So glad to hear! I hope you will feel better soon and have a less stressful week ahead. :)
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.
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! :)
Nice vibes, and great photos. 🎞️📷😻
Oh wow actually I love the grainy B&W pictures, they work great with the weather!
Thanks so much! :)
Amazing video thankyou, I just love Japan and in rainy day with difummined light so awesome! Beautiful photos!
Rain really creates a special atmosphere, I enjoyed it a lot while being in Japan as well. Thanks for your comment. :)
Erster ! :) Die Japan-Saga geht weiter...🏯🎎🗾 Wieder richtig schöne Fotos und auch das Color-Grading vom Video transportiert die Stimmung extrem gut.
7:58 ist mein Favorit ! Weiter so, Majoka-San :)
Vielen Dank für den ersten Kommentar und natürlich auch die betten Worte, das freut mich total! :) Liebe Grüße!
😊what a delightful video. I feel the rain added a unique character to the vibe of your video and the pictures you took. Love your channel ❤
Totally agree! As much as I am annoyed by rain sometimes, while being in Japan it was just relaxing and calming. Thanks for your comment. :)
I have really enjoyed your Japan videos, I find them really relaxing.
Thanks so much, glad to hear that! :)
Great work as usual! Kasuga Taisha is my happy place.
Thanks so much for the comment Phil! :) Glad to hear you also enjoy it there!
Oh deer, they are so cute.
I knoooow 🦌
You made my day..... 🥰🥰🥰.
Thank 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 ?
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. :)
ugh ill be in japan next march so every japan video makes my fernweh grow! I always like your calm videos and it was nice meeting you in Nürnberg xd
Already so jealous you get to be in Japan soon! I am sure you will love it there! :) Take care and have fun hyping up with Japan content for your trip ✌️
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...
That's how times changes! Would you say, you simply shoot less film or what's the reason for the shift?
@@KarinMajoka I added two boys to my life, they’re 2 and 4, I give it another… sigh, 16 years before I get my freedom back hahaha 😂
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
Of course, getting physical handmade prints is always the best. Sadly, not everybody has access to a darkroom these days. Thanks for your comment!
Hello I am off to Kyoto and Osaka on Friday. Any suggestions on what film to bring? is fuji film available easily in Japan ?
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! :)
@7:15 is that someone falling 😂?
❤❤❤❤

Kimchi ist koreanisch.
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
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.
