So, I've developed my glorious 5 rolls of films after finishing my trip. The pics were well developed than I thought, but I guess some kind of light leak is happening. A friend of mine told me that he would take care of it, thanks to him. So from the post before, I bought my first film camera at Kyoto and I took 5 rolls of films through my journey. It's about 220 shots, and as I'm a beginner using film cameras, I thought it would be OK for only about a half to be well developed, but it turned out to be that most of them (except the light exposed ones) developed in a good shape. I chose some of the best shots (in my opinion) from Kyoto rolls.
1/20 Kinkakuji
Right after buying my camera, we headed to Kinkakuji, a marvelous temple wrapped with gold foil, which was my first sight to capture.
To ride a bus to Kyoto station, we headed towards the bus station in front of McDonald's and before the sun sets, I took some pictures of Kyoto streets. Kyoto gives an idyllic aesthetic, unlike from cities like Tokyo which rather gives urban aesthetics. As sunshine slowly disappeared from the sky, I stopped taking pics as the camera wasn't suitable for the low light environment.
1/21 Fushimi-Inari Jinjya ~ Ginkakuji
One of the sceneries of Kyoto I really wished to see was the aesthetically aligned Toriis from Fushimi-Inari Jinjya, but I was too lazy to wake up early. As tourists rush like a flood around 10am, I had to wake up early and get to there as fast as I could, thanks to Glenfiddich I kind of overslept. Well, that doesn't mean that I didn't enjoy the scenery but there were way too many heads in every shot.
Even though it was a rush of tourists, I still enjoyed this place, but I still always think about it would be better if I had been there earlier. I ran out of shots so I changed to a new film roll.
I took some pics of rails and trains, as I like them a lot. These are the pics of the Keihan line while heading to Kiyomizudera.
Kyoto has lots of shrines and temples, and this day we've been to like 5 or more of them. The next stop was Kiyomizudera, also a famous tourist attraction in Kyoto.
But more than Kiyomizu-dera, I was really looking forward to seeing the streets of Kyoto around Kiyomizu-dera.
Kyoto really gives an antique view, as if time has stopped from the Edo period. We walked a lot, about 25 kilometers this day. We headed to Yasaka Jinjya, again another shrine.
We haven't spent a lot of time here, took some pics and headed right to Heian Jingu.
After having lunch ( we really needed some time to rest our legs and feet, they were literally burning ), I bought another film roll from a local film store. After sightseeing Heian Jingu we headed to Ginkakuji, but this time we took a bus. We stopped at the 'Philosopher's Path', a path along a small streamside. Before that, we've been to Ginkakuji.
Taking some break at a coffee shop around the Philosopher's Path, we took some shots of this rustic path. Personally, I love this shot the most. Gives kind of a Showa vibe, and the winter flowers with the bicycle look really gorgeous. It looks like a postcard from 60's.
Walking around for about 25 kilometers, we were knocked out. Before having dinner with some beer, I stopped off at some record stores around the city hall. I'll talk about them in later posts. Well, so these are some of the shots that weren't burnt from light leakage.
wow
