Very charming place to stand for a tea or coffee ( ? ). Excellent frame, my friend, as usual your photos are flawless, top quality.
I finally charged my Bessa L and made a roll: well, the quality and resolution of the images were far-out, but, to my horror, something must have happened since almost all the photos had what seemed a double exposure, a real mess.
I think I haven't loaded well the film, although it seems strange to me, as 4 random out of 36, came out perfect.
Another thing : do you know if the metering is spot? It doesn't say in the instruction booklet.
Some came out underexposed and some over.
Do I have all the time to measure a grey area and set the values in order to obtain a correct exposure?
With my Leicaflex SL which is only spot,this inconvenient doesn't happen.
Too bad, really, I feel like a donkey!!!!
All my best,Roger!

Ahh, another nice one from the "Take a walk with Roger" series! Would possibly look better a bit less brightIMO too. Stunning again what nice detail work the lens does with a ISO 400 film. Must be breathtakink at Iso 50 !

I'm shy about taking people, Baki, and was quite relieved that there were no customers, although I admit they would make a more interesting picture. It was a noisy, busy corner, and I think the traffic was too much for people. I liked it, but I wasn't tempted to sit down and drink a cup of coffee there... I hope they can stay in business!

Richard, I only ever take slide shots now when I am taking stereo pairs. For display on screens and the occasional A4 print or panorama shot on 4" or 8" roll paper, negative film is ideal. Modern films have negligable grain, at least at these degrees of enlargement, until you get up to 1600 ISO, so I never even think of slide film these days. (Love it for 3D, though.) The greater latitude of colour neg is also often helpful... And for me the clincher is that I don't really like the "Velvia" look.

With the knowledge that Tokyo is a architectural jungle this attempt to create a terrace is quite rare and courageous. Amsterdam has about 40% street cafes in hte city in comparison. Nice journalistic capture.

I echo Laura in her comments. If the brightness is dialed down the whites become much more manageable and the color saturation goes up. Just like we used to underexpose slide film about 1/3 stop to increase the saturation (until Velvia came along). You know I'm not a fan of 400 speed negative film, but everyone chooses differently.

Thanks, Laura. Now you mention it, it does look a bit "thin." I think I'll play with it a little in PaintShop Pro and see if anything can be done to improve it. Appreciate the feedback!

Looks like a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee! Composition is good in this image. Light seems a bit bright, colors a a bit washed out.
