I spent the better part of a month researching an insane amount of half-frame 35mm film cameras and the Olympus PEN EE came out on top for me. It’s super basic, fairly light, built like a little tank and really delivers great images. I've been told that these cameras are fragile, so we'll see!

I haven’t shot many digital images lately. I haven’t been inspired. Even a trip to Kyoto didn’t generate a whole lot for me. I wasn’t feeling it. I could have gone through the motions, but I didn’t, and I probably took twenty photos. Not good. I needed to get out a creative slump and this lil’ fella sure helped.

Tokyo delivers 100% epic experiences for street photography and I’ve set out to a dozen different neighborhoods that have their own distinct look and feel. Super cool. Today, I went to Kichijoji. You can visit Inokashira Park, which has a very nice lake. You can get on a boat and relax on the water, and then when you’re done relaxing, grab a bite to eat at a very cool yokocho, Harmonica Yokocho Alley. There are many standing bars and izakaya to satisfy your booze and grub desires. Here are some links that will help you navigate your visit. https://www.gotokyo.org/en/destinations/western-tokyo/kichijoji/index.html https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3080.html https://jw-webmagazine.com/best-things-to-do-in-kichijoji/ Kichijoji has some amazing history.

Here's the link to Ilford's page on the film. https://www.ilfordphoto.com/fp4-plus-35mmßœ The product description from the site: ILFORD FP4 PLUS is a medium speed, all-purpose black & white film with very fine grain and outstanding sharpness. It has superb exposure latitude above and below its ISO 125, (meaning it can be both push or pull-processed). This makes FP4 PLUS a highly capable film for most photographic subjects, scenarios and lighting conditions. It particularly excels at highly detailed subjects in good indoor and outdoor lighting conditions and is therefore an ideal film for portraits, fashion, street, product photography, landscapes and architecture.

Could my next go-to film be Ilford FP4 Plus? YES! I love the sharpness, latitude, and price. What's NOT to love? I bought a couple rolls, and the first roll I shot with my Leica M6 using a Voigtlander 28mm lens and a vintage Canon 50mm lens. Both of these lenses have interesting qualities, and by no means are they perfect creations. The Voigtlander drops off on the edges and the Canon needs to be slightly adjusted so the focus is tack sharp, but they do a very good job capturing what I’m looking for. This film is what I want, and if I'm looking for a bit more grain, I'll adjust my developing procedures.

Aoyama Cemetery has so much history, and I knew I wanted to photograph it sooner than later. Many great notables are laid to rest here and every time I visit, I learn something new about them. I definitely show respect while on the cemetery grounds, making sure not to walk on private areas. I’m always moving around on the common walkways to achieve my photography goals. Today, those goals consisted of finding cool textures, finding intense depth of field, and capturing some unusual subject matter. Here are a few links so you can know Aoyama Cemetery a bit more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aoyama_Cemetery https://livejapan.com/en/in-tokyo/in-pref-tokyo/in-shibuya/article-a0000666/ https://apjjf.org/2021/8/Plung.html Explore the cemetery on Google Maps. https://goo.gl/maps/oAGZApbSt5czLLiB7 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ #CanonEOS1n #Cemetery #Tokyo ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FOLLOW ME HERE Website 👉 https://www.shutteradvance.com Behance 👉 https://www.behance.net/jasongarcia_film Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/jgarcia.35mm Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/shutteradvance Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/ShutterAdvance Twitter 👉 https://twitter.com/boldextended MUSIC 🎵 Intro created by me with GarageBand MY GEAR 📌 Leica M6 Canon EOS-1n Canon 500n + assortment of lenses

I decided to build my own film scanning contraption. ⇢ I didn’t have a flatbed and I didn’t want to purchase a device that I wasn’t positive was going to work the way I wanted it to, so I decided to build one myself. This setup cost me under $100. I bought a light strip, negative holder, plexiglass, and some foam core and went to work. I measured everything precisely so that film holder could have a snug fit that wasn’t restrictive, and I diffused the light a bit with some frosted plexiglass, and held it all together with Gaffer’s tape. The result? A 100% effective contraption that allows me to scan any 35mm film. Epic. Note* Near the end, I show the film being shot while the lights are on, but I normally shoot my negatives with the room lights off. Most settings/gear are as follows: Panasonic G9 16mb files (High Resolution setting used when I need 80mb files for posters, etc.) Panasonic 30mm Macro lens 1/200 F2.8 ISO 100 Please contact me with any questions you have.

It snowed today, so I grabbed my Panasonic G9, 15mm (30mm FF), Canon EOS-1n, and cruised down to the corner shrine to see what I could see. I’ll develop my film in a few days, so stand by for those shots. Until then, enjoy some digital works. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ #TokoyoStreetPhotography #TokyoSnow #PanasonicG9 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FOLLOW ME HERE Website 👉 https://www.shutteradvance.com Behance 👉 https://www.behance.net/jasongarcia_film Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/jgarcia.35mm Instagram 👉 https://www.instagram.com/shutteradvance Facebook 👉 https://www.facebook.com/ShutterAdvance Twitter 👉 https://twitter.com/boldextended MUSIC 🎵 Intro created by me with Garageband MY GEAR 📌 Leica M6 Canon EOS-1n Canon 500n

This past year, I strolled all over Tokyo shooting familiar sights and also discovering neighborhoods I’ve never been to. This city is massive and I am also thankful that, despite its size, Tokyo has a robust film photography community. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many photographers that create some epic work. That’s been a highlight for me as well. I’ve shot many different film stocks this year, and I’d like to show you some of my favorite images from the last twelve months. Check ‘em out!

Do you want to start shooting film? Don’t want to break the bank? Do you have $60? This could be a great starter camera for you. Imagine shooting practically every single EF lens that Canon ever made (Just over 200!). You have so many options, so why not start here? This camera can be fully manual if you need it to be, so learning on this rig will be easy. I’ve listed a few resources here for you to help you on your way. Personally, I don’t like manual focus a whole heck of a lot. I do shoot with a Leica M6, but that’s a whole different story. The great thing about this camera is that it’s light. You can stuff this in a very small bag and you’re set! Want small? Canon’s EF 50mm f1.8 is tiny and super effective and most likely better images from the lens I used here, the 28–80mm f3.5. You get what you pay for. But if you want to have some fun, and maybe you’re just starting off, this camera is a good investment.

An hour and a half south of Tokyo is Ito, and it sits along the coast and has a population of almost 70,000 people, yet it seems like it’s such a tiny town. The population is declining and the shops are seeing less and less tourists these days. You’ll notice in the middle of the video how the shopping street has many establishments that are closed. This isn’t because it’s a holiday, it’s because fewer and fewer people are coming to Ito. Thankfully, there are a number of big-city folks that are making Ito their getaway destination more frequently these days. Here’s a link that describes the basics of Ito. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It%C5%8D,_Shizuoka And this link describes Ito proper and its surrounding areas. https://travel.gaijinpot.com/ito/ Google Map https://goo.gl/maps/oBn4ifNcvq8QVobH7 ++++++++ Learn a little bit about the Seven Lucky Gods, as seen with Christmas hats on.

I used to own a Panasonic G6. It was pretty cheap but did the job well, and a while back, I went to Hong Kong, shot JPG, square, and Black & White. No turning back! I don’t normally travel to a distant land and have constraints like that, but hey, why not? A fun experiment that made me look harder at every single thing in the viewfinder. These photos are unedited and I really like the way they turned out.
