Thinking About This Photograph

 This photograph was taken in Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 This is a place I’ve shot in the past, but this time I shot with the camera in the vertical position.

 Since it is based on “one shutter per shot”, I shoot on a different day from the one I shot before.

 Many of my subjects are narrow and dim alleys between buildings, so I always have the problem of camera shake.

 Since I wear glasses, I can’t keep the camera in close contact with my face, and it’s difficult to eliminate camera shake.

 I thought about using a high-sensitivity film, but with 35mm film, the graininess is noticeable, and I can’t get a satisfactory photo.

 This photograph was taken with a slow shutter speed and an aperture value close to the maximum aperture (about F4.0), but I managed to get it.

 The SMC PENTAX M 28mm F2.8 lens used for shooting, but the area around the image is inevitably rough near the maximum aperture.

 I’d really like to narrow down the aperture a little more, but maybe the only way to do that is to use high-sensitivity film.
