Great job, just great! I immensely enjoyed looking through the new album. Would you be so kind as to tell me which film did you use on hanbaiki.jpg?
Thank you for taking the time to look! That image was taken with Portra 800. I sat on that 35mm roll for ages before using it. It’s a great film stock, but quite expensive. FPP is probably the cheapest place to get it.
Oh, thank you! So it's Portra after all; I actually have it installed in my camera right now (it's 160 iso though, not 800)! I just love the colour of the light coming from the machines. Just checked out FPP and it's overseas shipping costs; somehow it's not much more expensive than buying locally ::>_<::
Portra 160 is also quite beautiful. Shooting it on a sunny day makes really nostalgic images. I used to shoot 160 and Kodak Gold a lot more years ago, having gotten sick of Superia’s sickly green tint. Kansai.html was shot on Superia and Fuji Industrial. I should probably add a film stocks page to Thoughts. Maybe scan all the Japanese film stock booklets I have.
(in particular it's fun that you chose one from a very relaxing wholesome manga and another from a dark brooding one)
Thanks! I'm curious to see what you have to say on Wender's Tokyo-ga. My next article is going to talk a lot about it. It's quite hard to track down, but what a film.
I might go and rewatch it one of these days, I'm a big fan of Ozu's and Wender's works, I find it quite emotional and the things that caught Wender's attention are very peculiar!! Please let me know when you release the article!!
