It's been a while since I had at bit of a chance to just go out spend a few hours shooting by myself. Well, finally I got a bit of a chance and the weather was reasonable, so I decided to head for Hankyu Kawaramachi Station (near Gion, the famous Geisha district) and just spent some time shooting. To make it more of a challenge I took only my Nikon F80 (film camera), a 50mm lens and a single roll of Fujicolor PRO400 film (which has now become my favourite film). Eventually I'll get to posting more shots from this outing, one thing I'll say is I got more than 20 keepers out of 37 shoots.
This shot was taken on one of the many alleyways that comes off the main road in Kawaramachi and I think it captures the atmosphere of this part of Kyoto well.
What I like about Fujicolor PRO400 film, is it's small grain, vivid colours, fast speed, high dynamic range and great handling of multiple artificial light sources without giving strange colour casts.
