Tokyo Rain
I'm trying my hand at photography, attempting to produce images that capture elements that interest me in a scene or situation. I guess my aim is to have my pictures show the world as I see it.
I use film cameras, partly because they're cheaper than digital, but mostly because I've set myself the task of learning the craft using traditional materials. This was taken during my recent business trip to Tokyo, and is a experimental narrow crop of the original (see the GoRP link in the sidebar). I've had several trips to Japan over the past two years, and though my time is carefully scheduled by my hosts I managed to find a few hours on a wet day and caught a some images with which I am not too unhappy.
I don't have the exposure to hand; it was taken hand-holding a Canon AE2, with a 50mm lens and using Ilford XP2 400 film.
