So do I, it's a good picture

>>19214311
great pic

do you have it in a better resolution?
would like it for a phone Wallpaper

>>19220743
Do you know where this is? I don't remember seeing many areas like this in Kyoto.

>>19223082
Kind of reminds me of the southern part of the city, near where the old Gekkeikan distillery is.

To whoever took this picture, thank you. It makes for an amazing wallpaper <3

Edited to help with photosensitivity, thanks whoever took this picture <3

Osaka?
Don't think I've seen that giant ferris wheel before

>>19243135
Dotonbori

Is it just me, or does Osaka look filthier than Tokyo?

>>19244445
You might want to define that further.

>>19244848

There was actually just a quite big (magnitude 6) earthquake in Osaka.

i thought the bus was gonna flip. All the trains are stopped.

>>19245061

Forgot my pic.

>>19245061
Magnitude 5.3, actually. Don't get magnitude and shindo confused, magnitude is a measure of how much energy is released in the quake, shindo is a measure of how violent the shaking is at the recorded location.
This is why you see on maps the surrounding counties have different shindo values, usually reducing as they get further from the epicenter.
You can still measure the quake's magnitude from distant sensor stations though.

>>19248336

all that machinery to check if a ticket is legit? o_O

>>19248394
Yes.
It handles multiple ticket types, orientations, multiple tickets at once and so on.

>>19248394
>>19248336

It not only reads tickets, but:
>reads single tickets and spits them back out in either direction
>displays what it reads from said ticket
>reads multiple tickets if inserted at once
>punches holes in said tickets
>prints onto said tickets
>also handles IC cards

>>19248232

Thanks, didn’t know the proper way to say it in English.

It took forever to get back home with all the rail lines. From 8:00 when the quakes hit until 16:30 I was stuck in buses/waiting for heavily delayed buses.

>>19248232
Shindo was 6-weak.
Magnitude was first said to be 5.9 and then re-evaluated to 6.1.

>>19251643
hey, it's a livin'

>>19250294
It's currently marked on USGS as 5.3, other sources may give a different magnitude because there are different ways to measure magnitude (which just muddies the waters further).

hopefully this wasn't a preshock for the big one

>>19252227
Everything is a preshock for the big one, it's a matter of when not if

>>19255992
It could have been an aftershock of 2011.

>>19244848
c-cute

>>19257583
It wasn't along the same fault line I don't think, the next "big one" is expected along the southern coast around where this most recent one happened

>>19262912
Aftershocks don't have to be along the same fault line, they just need to be caused as a result of previous earthquake.
Though this is a considerable distance from that earthquake, so it's pretty doubtful it's related.

>>19262912
I really need to go to Japan before it finally happens and murders half of Nakano Broadway

I can't decide whether having a waterfall outside your house would be peaceful and relaxing or grating and annoying

>>19280377
It would be whichever you prefer until you get used to it and it becomes just the everyday.

>>19271899
>all those tree-covered hills
Just how much of Japan is left undeveloped? I would've thought a lot of the country would be taken over by human presence, given their population density.

>>19280377
You'd get used to it after a couple of weeks. I used to live near a freight train line which had occasional night runs, never bothered me but any guests at the house would be woken up.

I'll probably catch a lot of hate, but I've been looking for a particular picture for several hours through the archives and I can't seem to find it.
It was a picture of white people sitting on milk crates with the spools cable companies use for tables. There was corgi to the left of the picture facing the camera. plz help.

The wheel is attached to the Don Quixote store in Osaka.

It was broken for like a decade due to earthquake damage, but was fixed earlier this year. Wonder how it handled the recent earthquake?

All I have is the attached snapshot of it a few years ago. Repainted and stuff now, but looks generally the same. It is supposed to look really cool at night all lit up too.

I have never seen a bad picture of Japan. It's such a photogenic country.

>>19323436

It is hideous.

>>19326651
Well, sure, when you put it that way.

in the /jp/ mansion thread there are several links to websites with pics of abandoned places (some of the buildings got demolished already tho):

>>19183291

That shot makes it look better than it really does.

It is an ugly, 80s styled, old and beat up tower that doesn't match anything else in the entire city.

>>19357934

Because foreigners can be inconsiderate as fuck with the things. Running into people and buildings and causing injury and damage.

Banning them was a good thing. Pretty much banned everywhere now.

I am less happy with the ban on tripods at most temples, but I see why it is necessary. A quick monopod shot is almost as good.

>>19369020

I hate to be really negative to someone contributing pictures to this thread but...I have to agree with you.

The rest are all in neat locations/situations, but they are just BAD. Either due to some absolutely puke worthy editing, cutting off of parts of your subject, or because they aren't even straight.

Given I live in Tokyo and have been to Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Nikko, Kamakura, Shirakawa, yushin valley, mt. nokogiri, and okinawa, it's there anywhere you guys think would be a nice new aesthetic place to go for summer?

I can go to places near Tokyo over the weekend, so preferably areas i can take off a few days/a week to visit. In the near term, i want to try visiting one of those sunflower fields in every summer/childhood eroge.

The man dind't even had signs with prices and such, maybe he didn't even sell to particulars, but wholesale/restaurants, etc?

I had no problem entering stores w/o even knowing what were they selling, and usualy ended having some laughs with the owners trying to understand us w/google translate, but usually they had sat least signs witch prices, locals entering the store... You Know


Anyway, I can post some /comfy/ pictures, I made a solo trip about a month ago and actually took some nice ideas from these threads, so I think it would be nice to share them here... (I posted this one by mistake in that Train Station webcan thread, sorrymasen)

Yes, because it does not say "no foreigners allowed".

So if you're foreigner but you speak Japanese, then you're good to go. I see no problem with this. It's the same with a Christian Bakery refusing to bake a cake for a gay wedding.

For those who've traveled to Japan, how expensive was your flight? I've never flown before, so I have no idea what I'm doing and if ~$2000 is normal for a round trip to Japan from the US east coast.

>>19395527

https://www.skyscanner.net/transport/flights/jfk/hnd

>>19395527
$2000USD return is pretty expensive, I got flights around $1300NZD return for my trips, except when I went one-way and it cost me around $800NZD.

Definitely look around, try some of the aggregate sites but be careful to check what options they come with when comparing prices (the cheapest flights usually have layovers in different countries/cities for several hours).

>>19395527
From UK it can be like £400 return, $2000 seems like a lot even though its from slightly further away

>>19395527
Between AU$850 and AU$1200 to Haneda, return, depending on the time of year; as the other anons have said, US$2000 seems expensive.

>>19395793
>>19395925
>>19395992
>>19396042
Cool, thanks. $2000 definitely seemed like too much. After some reading and searching, I found things in the $900 range months from now, which is key I guess. That sounds a lot more obtainable.

>>19395527
I paid $3500 RT for business class LAX-HND on ANA. I saw it drop as low as $2880 RT for business class, ATL-LAX-HND with United for domestic and ANA for the transpacific leg. My brother paid $550 for LAX-HND round trip in economy.

For $2k you could literally fly business class on Asiana or a Chinese airline round trip.

Great to see someone else using film. Looks pretty comfy.

What camera is it? Film type?

>>19410577
This is where salarymans go to suffer.

C.C.SAKURA

>>19410592

Minolta Maxxum 7, 50mm f/1.4 I think. Would have to check exif.

Film was just cheap Superia Premium.

>>19410923
It looks pretty decent. I love the grain and darker/gritter look. 400 ASA was a good idea.

Planning on going to Japan at some point myself with my Canon AE-1. Seems most photographers are focused on digital/heavy edits when they're there.

>>19411002

The film is okay, but my scanner kinda shits itself with it. Always ruins white balance and exposure. Portra on the other hand scans without issue.

Seen quite a few fellow gaijin with film cameras arond Kyoto. Saw some dude with a black AE-1 today.

I have a CLE and X-600 I also use, but I really like the lenses on my Maxxum 7 so have been using it a lot lately. Plus it is nice because I can hand it to my wife or someone, and it is harder for them to fuck up autofocus than manual focus (though they still manage).

>>19411268

Gion Festival is my favorite time of year. Not so much the parade, but the preparation and the night events before hand.

Plus I like walking around in the absurd Kyoto heat and humidity watching the Hoko be assembled.

Also, it drives me crazy that normal iPhone pictures are too big to upload to 4chan unless resized.

35.7303004, 139.7088358

>>19411268
>Always ruins white balance and exposure

The place I've been going to somehow manages to fuck up most of my rolls with this.

I've had images taken at night in the dark come back overexposed with chemical stains.

Those pictures you posted you can kinda tell, but it looks like a little Lightroom editing can fix them.

Not amazing, given it was just a quick something.

>>19422488

I think it is more me not knowing my scanner software all that well and not the developing. If I get prints or the low-rez cd scans they look great.

Part of the problem is I color corrected my monitor, but it seems to be considerably warmer than everything else. Works fine for prints, but is not all that great for a mobile screen.

But yea, that edit went a little far. Colors are too saturated, especially the bus. I think dropping the exposure a stop or so would get most of the way there.

And I just picked up four rolls I dropped off yesterday and they are disgusting. Dirt and dust, water spots, heavy scratches. I think I might have to go back and complain.

>>19220601
Is it yakuza 6 location?

>>19305825

>>19425743
Tiltshift lenses or Miniature mode on your camera does that.

>>19422597
>And I just picked up four rolls I dropped off yesterday and they are disgusting. Dirt and dust, water spots, heavy scratches. I think I might have to go back and complain.

Definitely go complain. Especially when the cost is often stupidly high per roll. Were there any pictures that you can still post that aren't too fucked?

I'll probably be going for a couple of weeks over Christmas/New Year this year, anybody know any interesting things worth seeing (preferably in Tokyo/a day trip away from Tokyo) around that time?

Only $5 a roll, so not too bad.

>Were there any pictures that you can still post that aren't too fucked?

Yea, and it seems like only one roll was dirty.

I am scanning the rest now, will upload today or tomorrow.
