Photos of Kamakura

Zuisenji temple, Kamakura




I completely forgot to develop this film. About a year ago I stayed at Kamakura for two days with my SLR camera within a reversal film. My aunt likes taking a picture very much and she told me about the reversal films. The photos have beautiful colors with the films.

about Kamakura....
Kamakura is a city located 50 km south-south-west of Tokyo. It is considered a former capital of Japan during the Kamakura period (1185-1333). Now it is a populer tourist destination.

昨年夏に海に行ったときのフィルムかと思い、現像に出してみると、海ではなく昨年２月の鎌倉が写っていました。一眼レフ＋リバーサルフィルムですが、フイルムスキャナーが壊れてしまい、フィルムを電球に透かしてデジカメで撮るといった高度な技（？）を使っています。 年齢を重ねると鎌倉など古い都市の良さをじわじわ感じますね〜。

with the VistaQuest 1005

I love my toy digital camera, VistaQuest 1005. I got it in 2007, and I usually go out with it because it's very small and light. Since the pictuers taken by the camera with close-up lens are amuzing, I made a new photo albums for them.

VistaQuest 1005というトイカメラでここ２年くらい写真を撮っています。ファインダーなし、液晶画面なし、のおもちゃっぷりと写真の彩度の高さはキングオブトイカメラだと勝手に思っています。携帯用の接写レンズで花を撮っていますが、これが２0枚に一枚くらいしか成功しないんですよね。。

summer skies

The cloud was like painted with blush. Or like a sticky candy.

another day
No photoshop!! :-) It was quite beautiful sunset. I was at home and I heard "Wow! Look at the sky!" and "Beautiful!! Just beautiful!" from outside.

another day
I don't like hot and humid summer in Japan very much but love the summer skies.

funny photo

I took the photo with my Polaroid 630 but it didn't work very much. The liquid developer might leak because the film was too old. One  part of the photo was developed. It's interesting so I scanned it into my computer. The scenery is from the window of my house.

Finally the (beginners') French exam are over! Maybe I'm going to pass that! Oui~:)  Je suis heureux!

digital SLR camera

I visited my friend's newly built condominium. She and her husband lived there about a year. I enjoyed staying there. She lent me a Sony digital SLR camera.

That was a great camera!! (except for heaviness..)  The crocheted motifs seem more beautiful. 

This is her arrangement of the interior accessory. I like this!! She is good at things like this since college.

under construction

I found it at Omotesando on my way to work. The former building was an old established international supermarket "Kinokuniya" I loved. I miss that.

My first DIY developing

I tried to develop a black and white film for the first time. I did it with "Darkless", produced by fuji film.

My husband said "The film looks like the laundry."

Washing.

It didn't work very well...The film was badly stained.

I tried to photoshop the film. It began more interesting.

Children's Castle

My husband said snow flew midnight last night. Today is very cold but the sky is clear!! This is a monument by Taro Okamoto standing at Aoyama Theater near my office. I took this photo with my new VistaQuest1005, keychain camera.

New Year's holiday

My family and I went to Izu to relax in a hot spring on the New Year's holidays. We rode on express train. From the train we could see the Pacific Ocean. The weather was very fine.

We stayed a Japanese-style hotel. There are many carps in the pond at the hotel. What is the red part of this photo? I took it with the Holga 120N. Light leak?

with sprocket hole

This is the photo taken with Holga 120N at the Shimokitazawa station. I forced a 35mm film into my Holga 120N, then I had the film cross processed. I like this kind of the effect.

well, See you soon..and I'd like to take this occasion to wish you a Happy New Year!!
