Thinking About This Photograph

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

 This is a photograph of a Japanese restaurant in the downtown area of Ginza 8-chome area.

 This photograph was taken on Sunday afternoon, so there wasn’t much traffic and I was able to take the photo without including the person in the photograph.

 The restaurant is like a Japanese restaurant, and uses solid wood board for the exterior material of the building, creating a sense of luxury.

 When viewed from the corner of the building, I was attracted to the symmetrical appearance and released the shutter.

 The film used for this photography is developed using “Sakagawa-Style high-acutance high-dilution developer“, which is a self-prepared developer, instead of the PMK Pyro developer that I use regularly.

 When printing on baryta photographic paper, there is a difference between the two developers, but no particular difference can be found for digitized images.

 If the digital image is the final model for photographic finishing, we believe that this “Sakagawa-Style high-acutance high-dilution developer” will provide sufficient results.

 The advantage of using “Sakagawa-Style high-acutance high-dilution developer” is that high-definition image quality can be obtained despite the low cost.

 If you are interested in the official “Sakagawa-Style high-acutance high-dilution developer” similar to the “Beutler developer”, please try it.
