50mm

Little experiment. Faces of Tokyo on white.

Another archive shot while I work my way very slowly through a roll of film.

One from the archives while I take time out to process a bunch of pics I took the other week.
Shot in Shinjuku during the rainy season I guess. Provia 400x pushed to 1600 as always.

It’s interesting to see how people respond to different photo’s. More often than not (80% of the time?) I find people liking shots I’ve taken that I think are ok but nothing out of this world. This particular shot appeals to me for a number of reasons and was ignored on flickr
The tones in the shot are hard to achieve in B+W film unless the exposure and circumstances are spot on. The picture was taken using the Contax 645 with the Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2 lens with a special adapter which makes the background just vanish into a smooth blur. I like this photo a great deal and it was interesting to see who fav’d it. Expect more in this series and follow up with a bit of colour too.
