During my recent trip to the Nezu shrine, I took along both a Fujifilm X-E1 and some lenses and my Hasselblad 500CM with the standard lens. Here are some of the photos from the Hasselbld. I usually carry two film back, one with colour film (in this case Kodak Porta 160VC) and one with B&W film (in this case Kodak TMAX 400). I sometimes struggle a little with the colour negative films to get the right colour. I am not 100% happy with the results on Portra. I seem to get better results from Fuji PRO160 and PRO400 films to be honest. Let me know what you think….

The side of the gates with the names of the donors.

Some are starting to rot.

Fabulous texture on the wood of the event stage

More detail. Love the feel of these details.

Another case of “sticker graffiti” so common in Japan

High maintenance fence.

Some of the smaller gates. I had to duck to get under them.

Enough for today. Some more Hasselblad shots coming up soon.
