      First stop of the Japan trip was to this spot I’ve been dying to shoot. Shot with multiple cameras, just to make sure. Analog shot with Leica M5 and Cinestill 800t will have to wait until I process and scan, so here’s the one from my X100s.

            @weftyarn I’ll definitely keep trying to post. I’ll fully post when I get back and get my film scanned. Here’s a couple from Kyoto and Mt. Fuji from the Shinkansen ride from Tokyo to Kyoto.

              @alexxedge love those, third is my favorite

              @Jett129 you have no clue how great it is to hear your feedback. Keeps me motivated to go out and just shoot 🙂

                @weftyarn I don’t think that,photographers as a community,do that enough for each other. That’s one of the things that I like/enjoy about this thread as opposed to say Instagram where you just get generic likes.

                  @weftyarn, how is street photography like yours reacted to in Germany if the subject notices? I.e. if you get "caught", do people get nasty?

                  I stopped this sort of shooting a long time ago due to a few instances, the last one of which ended in me having to call the police. While there is clear legality to do it in the US, it stopped being worth it to me.

                    That’s a really good question,as I too,am uncomfortable doing street photography,especially in NYC.

                      @weftyarn we were doing about 200mph when I took that. The Shinkansen is no joke. I can’t believe we got such clear views for Mt. Fuji it’s know to hide behind the clouds.

                        Yesterday we went to a temple, in Kyoto, that was built in 731 with a beautiful moss garden. One of the highlights of the trip so far, and so incredibly peaceful. They limit the number of guests per day, and are only open for 2 hours to ensure its condition.

                          @Jett129 I agree! We need to do that more often in general.

                          @pechelman to be honest I never ever have had issues. Neither in Germany nor in the other countries I’ve visited. But I have to say I really do my best to not be intimidating and also to respect the people I shoot. I always think of it like „if it were me in the picture, would I be okay with it being shared among enthusiastic photographers“. If the answer is no I simply don’t point the camera in the first place.

                          A tactic I use sometimes is pointing at a photo-worthy spot quite openly. People notice me, think it’s the spot I am aiming for and then just walk through the scene like nothing happened, not knowing they’re actually the key element making the shot. Works very well, especially with wide angle lenses. 🙂

                          With the 90mm I really have to be cautious. That thing is intimidating, no question. But same tactic: Search for your spot early, stand there openly, point the camera and wait for a shot. People that don’t want to be shot will avoid being in the frame. People that don’t care walk through it. That simple 😉

                          Use it or lose it.

                            Thanks @weftyarn. I've tried some of those tricks too. The other thing is to really lean in on the acting what you're taking a picture of if they do notice; just continue to ignore them and take a picture just above or around them and then act totally surprised if they come up. "Oh, hi, where'd you come from?! I was looking at that thing." Unfortunately, I'm a terrible actor 😃

                                      @Cskarev Seems like he has a good eye and a very nice/natural sense of composition. Are any of his shots edited?

                                        @Jett129 I think he adds a bit of sharpness but the composition and colours are not edited.

                                          Totally forgot how long it would take to scan everything from Japan. Got the negatives Tuesday and have been working on with any spare time I have. Can’t wait to convert them, and so stoked on even how the negatives look. As soon as these suckers are ready, I’ll be sharing.

                                            recently back from Japan, this time brought the color camera and glad I did with the fall colors. Has me thinking about trading in my cameras for a single newer model and might be leaning to go color. The weather was pretty glorious this time around, save for one very rainy day.
