Shinbashi was one of my favourite areas when I visited Tokto. Good balance of cohesion and novelty. Feels less messy than other parts, but still has its own flavor. Honestly thought I wouldn't watch Japan videos after my trip, but your videos are always an enjoyable watch. Thanks for all you do James 😊
Heheh glad to hear 😆 Shinbashi is a fun area. I’ve admittedly kinda burnt myself out from going there, since I used to spend a lot of time shooting there, but even now it’s nice to revisit from time to time. That place has personality.
You fought well! 👏 I think shooting in slightly overcast weather is even harder to determine exposure settings... but you still got so many nice shots & great video~! & Film stock to try → Ilford SFX 200
Thanks 😬 Yeah, overcast does add some difficulty, though I think most photos turned out fine, exposure wise, until it got dark. I’ll check out that Ilford film! So far I've only tried their XP2.
today I shot ten photos on Kodak gold 200. the realization that I had spent like $2.70 on that alone was kind of jarring. it really makes you take each shot carefully and choose your photos wisely
Exactly. You're spending money on each shot, and it really adds up over time. Makes you also more considerate of what and how you're shooting. With digital, once you own the camera, all the photos are free….
it's funny, for some reason the video was set to 720p and I was thinking, "these photos don't look very good," so I checked what it was at. when I realized I could set it to 4k I had to restart the video. much better!
Question: because of the price and effort, does it make you feel like the shots should be "precious?" I wonder if there's a way to detatch from that. Like, "just shoot the thing" kind of sentiment. I don't know. The cost and my lack of skill is why I'm not shooting film. Curious to know your take.
Cost is definitely an issue. It almost feels like a treat to shoot film… kinda like going to a nice restaurant every once and a while 😅 Now perhaps the more you just start doing it, the more “normal” it may begin to feel and it might be easier to detach yourself from it. Hard to say though, as I only shoot film a handful of times a year and I am perfectly happy being a digital shooter. I’ve actually been very interested in Pentax’s new half frame camera, as that turns a roll of 36 into 72 shots.
What a beautiful video 💛
Thank you so much!

Nice work James, let me know if you want to go shoot some film together sometime! 😀
Yeah we should! Next time I buy a roll 😆
