@pechelman A lot of really cool pictures. Love some of the reflective shots,the train station,and the waterfall,which is my personal photography Kryptonite.

@alexxedge
Very inspiring Alex! I also go to Japan in two weeks and was considering to use my analog M6 TTL, but I hate the trouble at the airport with my film rolls and the discussions about hand checking the film. Did you have any problems at the Tokyo airport with your film rolls?

I shoot a lot of my portraits with film and it really so much fun. This portrait from Jade was taken with a Leica M6 TTL and on vintage 1.4/50 Summilux

@pechelman those imaged are so good! Work has been stupid busy. I’ll make a post soon. I got the goods. Haha

[alexxedge]

@Marc2706 now thats a portrait! I love this. I will say, I’m lucky in my city that my airport is super cool about hand checks for film. Haneda in Tokyo, was so prepared. They spotted not “do not X-ray - film” bag before I made it to the trays and were ready for me. Don’t let it deter you.

Here’s some of my favorites so far, that are on phone! All shot on my M5 with various film stocks including: Cinestill 400D, Fuji Xtra 400, Lomo 800, Kodak Gold 200

[pechelman]

Nice!
Did you ever sleep @alexxedge ?
Getting those places shot without people is no small feat!

[alexxedge]

@pechelman only a few sunrise walks. I am obsessed with busy spaces that should be filled with people. It’s been a long working project since 2020 (for obvious reasons). I really had to step out of that comfort zone a few times in Japan and just embrace the people. I love moments that you know people have been there, but for some reason they aren’t in that moment. Some shots were just the instant of that click, then the scene was flooded with people.

[Marc2706]

@alexxedge Thanks a lot Alex! This is what I wanted to hear! I will go there with film!

@alexxedge I love these photos so much.

[Marc2706]

@alexxedge Really wonderful photos ! Especially the night shots are very good!

[Marc2706]

Taken in Kerman, Iran with Kodak Portra 400 and my Hasselblad 500 C and 2.8/80 Planar. I really regret that I have sold this beautiful camera

[seawolf]

What a great photo.

[alexxedge]

@seawolf @Marc2706 thanks y’all! I was really stoked to do night shots. I really glad I decided to bring my tripod.

[seawolf]

@alexxedge The night shots are the best ones!
