Local temple scene

Fusebententoukai temple

You know you’re selling out when you post photos of Japanese temple scenes. In this case I just could not resist, not least because I am getting more and more satisfied how tones come out in Fuji Presto 400 in Xtol 1:2, even in contrasty scenes like this. I realised that by mistake I did two inversions per 30 seconds instead of my usual one. Somehow it must have been beneficial, so I will always do two inversions from now on. The compressed image got a little too much contrast, the negative looks really beautiful indeed.

Photo taken in a really very nice temple in Akebono Park, not too far from home, which is, unbelievably, also part of Kashiwa (if you follow the link, a glimpse of the usual Kashiwa madness awaits).
