One day at Kabukicho #DAY76 - I took the Leica Q out for shooting after a long time.
It's a delightful food sample and gentle light. On this day, I took out the Leica Q as a secondary camera after a long time. Lately, the latest model, Leica Q3, has been making headlines again. As a result, the combination of the usual Leica M-P and Leica Q was unbeatable.
おいしそうな食品サンプルと優しい光だなぁ。さて、この日は超久しぶりにサブのカメラとして Leica Q を持ち出してみた。最近、最新モデルの Leica Q3 が出てまた話題になっているよね。結果として、いつもの Leica M-P と Leica Q の組み合わせは最強だった。
It had been a while since I used the Leica Q to take outside... And I can't even remember the last time I used it together with the Leica M. It's impressive that the lens of the Q captures images so crisply like this.
外で Leica Q を使ったの久しぶりだったんだけど・・・しかもM型ライカと一緒に使ったのっていつぶりなのかも覚えていないんだけど、Q のレンズってこんなにカリっと写るんだなぁ。
This one is also capturing the scene very crisply. I also use the RX100III recently, but the Q's viewfinder is much easier to use after all. Especially when switching between the Leica M, there's hardly any discomfort when looking through the viewfinder. Well, to begin with, the size itself of the bodies is completely different.
これもすごくカリッと写っている。RX100III も最近使っていたけど、やっぱり Q の方がファインダーは全然見やすかったなぁ。特にM型ライカと持ち替えてもファインダー覗いた時の違和感があんまりない。まあそもそも本体の大きさ自体が全然違うんだけどね。
And compared to the lens of the Leica Q, I found that all the lenses I use with the Leica M have a smooth and creamy feeling when taking photos. I love all of them, I really do, but personally I'm more drawn to the smooth and creamy feeling.
そして Leica Q のレンズに比べるとM型ライカで自分が使っているレンズってどれもトロッとした感じで撮れることがわかった。どっちも好き、どっちも好きなんだけど・・・個人的にはトロッとした感じの方が惹かれてしまうかなぁ。
By the way, on this day, I went to a somen noodle restaurant called "Ito". Ito means strings. Somen is delicious, but broccoli and bacon salad is also incredibly tasty with a generous portion. My friend loves that salad, and after sharing it with me, I also got to love it.
ちなみにこの日は素麺屋さんの『糸』に行ってきた。そうめんもおいしいんだけど、ブロッコリーとベーコンのサラダがボリュームもたっぷりですごいおいしいよ。友達がそのサラダが大好きで分けてもらって自分も好きになった。
This back view is cool, isn't it?!
この後ろ姿かっこよくない？！
This parking lot here is located in a complex narrow alley. I wonder if anyone actually parks their car here? It always gives me an impression of a place where people gather to smoke.
ここの駐車場ってすごい入り組んだ細い路地の中にあるんだけど、停める人いるのかなぁ？いつもタバコ吸いたい人達がたむろっているイメージしかないや。
When I get all sweaty during a photoshoot and want to cool off, I secretly sneak into the air-conditioned arcade nearby.
撮影していて汗だくになって涼みたくなった時にはいつも思わずエアコンの効いているゲーセンに入っちゃうのは内緒。
I persevered until there was nobody left to capture the stairs and an escalator because I really wanted to take a photo of them. It may seem plain, but personally I really like this kind of artwork.
どーしても階段とエスカレーターを撮りたくて人がいなくなるまで粘った。すごい地味だけど個人的にはこういう絵が好きで。
Roppongi and Kabukicho have a lot of foreign tourists even in the same downtown. Perhaps it's the Japanese taste of these areas that attracts tourists, I often find people to take photos with their cameras. There're also a lot of restaurants where there are hardly any Japanese customers. On the other hand, I don't have that sort of impression for Shibuya even though it's also a downtown.
同じ繁華街でも六本木と歌舞伎町はとにかく外国からの観光客の人が多い。日本風情な繁華街がそうさせるのか、カメラを持って写真を撮っている観光客の人もちらほらと見かけるし。レストランとかでも日本人客がいないお店とか普通に結構あるし。渋谷とかは同じ繁華街でもあんまりそういうイメージない。
Actually, I hung out with the friend in Kabukicho until morning, watched videos together, and even worked on this day. Thanks to it being a day off the next day, it was fine, but as soon as I got back home, I immediately slept in until the afternoon. When I got back, it was already completely bright outside. Anyway, it's good because it was fun.
See you then.
実はこの日は歌舞伎町で朝まで友達と遊んだり一緒に動画見ながら仕事していたりした。おかげで翌日が休日だったからよかったけど、帰ってからすぐ昼過ぎまで爆睡していた。帰った時完全に外が明るかったもん。まあ楽しかったからいっか。
ほなまた。
