I'd go with him wanting to play. Looks like he's getting ready to do that ducking and diving thing...

Red filter?

Oh that's a beautiful one!
To be honest -- the first thought was actually: Pyramid Head of the Silent Hill Games..

The bits where it goes all fractal, up at the top there... makes me want to ask you to go back with a tripod and shoot it again with more DoF!

You may well be right. Still, I don't mind them so much the way they are. I guess I needed them to grow on me a bit.

Nice.

Wonder if they aren't grainy because they are a little bit underexposed? It gets really hard to judge scenes like this (bright / dark). There is probably an ideal exposure time for Pan F+ 50... wonder if you were a long way from it?

I tried to contact you via email but the email provided in the about page isn't working for me.

Hi Martin,
Didn't use any colour filters for this shoot. For the Rollei I own a yellow filter and, now I think about it, should have used it at least once to pull the clouds out of the sky a bit more but I forgot.

Nice tonality. Did you use some color filter?

I realized that the Grand Palais was on the left. Then a closer look at the cars driving on the left of the road. The slide need to be reversed.. ;-)

Too in your face eh...that would be quite a contrast to this, which is absolutely amazing light-wise, while maintaining the muted sky. Your angling is great

Thanks Thomas. I wanted to get a few of these up to share before I went away. It's interesting so see who likes what.
When I return from Australia we should all get together and bring a few shots along that didn't work also so we can discuss these too :-)

Re: Aokigahara Jukai

motionid — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 07:18:23 -0000

Yup! That would be it :-) That was around the corner from the lake. A bit further up the road.

Jon — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:54:10 -0000

Grotto. That's the one! Didn't see anything like, so it must have been while you were off doing the 'sean goes sneaking' interludes ;)

Dairou Koga — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 21:33:08 -0000

Sean san, this is awesome. Did we go to the same place? I still can't believe that :-)
