Thinking About This Photograph

 This photograph was taken at Nihonbashi-Ningyocho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 This is a photograph of the back door of the building, which has no features, but the bicycle is stopped so as to block the door.

 Most of the doors in Japan are open to the outside, so if a person opens the door from inside the building, they will hit the bicycle.

 As a little joke, it is also interesting that it is stopped in the opposite direction to the arrow indicating the direction of the bicycle.

 I took a snapshot of such a landscape casually.

 However, the exposure measurement was done firmly.

 I was careful not to overexpose the whitish wall.

 The exposure measurement in this photo uses a spot meter, but if you use the center-weighted metering AE built into the camera, even a white object will be overexposed unexpectedly.

 It is common sense that a reflected light meter is “underexposed for white objects and overexposed for black objects”, but I don’t think you should worry too much about it in actual snapshots.

 I think overexposed negatives are difficult to remedy.

 Especially for roll film, the development cannot be changed for each frame, so I try to avoid overexposure.
