Tokyo 2016 on Film – FUJIFILM KLASSE W w/ Kodak ULTRAMAX 400

前回に続き2016年の東京ですが、こちらは夏。Kodak ULTRAMAX 400で。
Kodakというと、少し黄色系が強い印象ですが、空の青さが濃く強い印象を感じます。色も濃いめな印象。
フィルムは、種類によって傾向が違うし、さらに現像出した時の現像のされ方でも変化があるから、どれが本当の姿？と言われると難しい。でも、ベースとなる部分はやはりフィルムごとに違うので、現像はそこに味付けしている感じ。
正解はなくて自分の好みを選ぶのがフィルムの向き合い方の一つじゃないかと。もちろん、迷った時はこれ選んでおけば良いというようなフィルムもあるわけで、でもそれも沢山ある(今は沢山と言えないかも)種類の一つ。

Continuing from the last time, here is Tokyo in 2016, this time in summer, with a Kodak ULTRAMAX 400.
Kodak gives the impression of being a bit yellowish, but the sky has a deep and strong blue color. The colors also seem darker.
The film tends to depending on the type, and even the way the film is developed when it is sent out for development can change it. So what is the truely image of film is difficult to say. However, the base of each film is different, and the developing process adds flavor to the film.
There is no right answer, and I think one way to deal with film is to choose what you like. Of course, there have some standard films that you just have to choose when you are in doubt, but that is one of the many (or maybe not so many nowadays) types of film.

現像するときも写真屋さんに依頼すると、どんな傾向にしたいか聞かれるところは調整してくれて、そうでないところは多分ストレートに近い感じで現像してくれると思う。
フィルムの良いところは出来上がるまで時間がかかること。僕の場合そもそも現像するまで撮り終えたフィルムを溜め込んでしまう傾向にあるんだけど、フィルム出してから現像されるまでの時間がワクワクする気持ちで出来上がりを待つ。
そうやって出来上がった写真を見るのが好きなんだと思う。

When you ask a camera shop to develop your film, they will adjust the film according to what taste you want, and if they not heard your like (almost shop is this), they probably develop the film in a straight-forward manner.
The good thing about film is that it takes time to be finished. In my case, I tend to accumulate film before to develope, but I feel excited about the time it takes from the time I send the film out to the time it is developed.
I think I like to look at the finished photos in this way.
