Photos from Nezu/Yanaka

photos from Yanaka and Nezu, areas in Tokyo

This is my first serious attempt scanning medium format film, using my new scanner. I haven’t touched the camera in anger for a long time, so given that I am reasonably happy with the results. However there is a lot of room for improvement. Film exposure could be better to make the scanning easier. Also I am not entirely happy with the range of tonality from scanning. All this could be interconnected. Got to try harder next time. Special thanks to Kurt for great advice.

But the main thing is that I am back on the photography trail, and while many things were thought to be forgotten, they are just rusty and need some practice. And, not to forget an important aspect, I have made the jump from digital to film. Yes, you’ve read it right.
