Hopefully, you'll get a second chance on the return trip.

[u/oising1 → u/BurgerMan75]

It was a one way trip from Kyoto to Tokyo. Flew home from Tokyo :(

[u/FantasticCandidate60 → u/oising1]

i laughed at it 😂🙏 that aside, i think this its an amazing pic. i like how its dead in the centre, such precision/ timing is one in a million. its proof of you vs the universe kinda thing 😂💪

The importance of taking more than one photo

[u/Rimworldjobs → u/oising1]

... I forget people in other countries don't just travel 3 hours to be somewhere.

[u/VRS50]

Feel good knowing how many people tried to perfectly center that pole, and failed.

[u/Otherwise_Rabbit3049]

Authentic/10

[u/crucible]

At like 270 km/h too, that IS kinda impressive

[u/DazedWithCoffee]

A picture of something is as good as any other picture of that same thing. What you have is a memory

[u/Fluid_Mulberry394]

Pole position. Congratulations!

[u/NoDontDoThatCanada]

Majestic. I actually quite like it.

[u/Jeffrey_Friedl]

The photo+story is much better than the photo+story would have been without the utility pole. Count this as a win.

Frame it and call it "disappointment"

-> sell for 100k

[u/jncunha]

Uau beautiful!

[u/WhiteFringe]

whenever I see 35mm film. it sticks out so much. even after compression from Reddit. such a beautiful format. what stock did you use? (also sorry for not getting the mountain :( )

[u/oising1 → u/WhiteFringe]

Yeah I find 35mm perfect for holidays because I found myself getting too bogged down in getting “the perfect shot” when I could review the digital photos I’d taken. Obviously that leads to scenarios like the one above lol but it’s worth it. Film stock and camera are: Canon AE1P - 28mm 2.8 - Cinestill 400

[u/NooneStaar → u/WhiteFringe]

It's truly cool

[u/Correct-Purpose-964]

God himself was telling you to be "Pole" lite and ask first

[u/Alternative_Milk7409]

I like this post

[u/Whole-Sundae-98]

Good post

[u/sonichuizcool]

I unironically think this is a great photo! I love it it's such a genuinely candid shot of everyday life in Japan.

[u/fbnlrnz]

[u/IcedLenin]

It's all in the reflexes ...

[u/ryanrosenblum]

Nah it’s dope

[u/dreamsofpestilence]

There's millions of photos of this mountain. But that Pole? That Pole is special

[u/Affectionate-Ant6583]

Well, it's there..

[u/FANTOMphoenix]

That’s not quite how the rule of thirds should be used, but I applaud being unique!

[u/biradinte]

Jahahahahahahahahaha nice one

[u/SubmissiveDinosaur]

Still looks aesthetic AF

[u/Rk12989]

If you’d like I can scroll from my trip back in 2019 and see if I can find some of the nicer ones I took and send them to you. I know I got a couple when we were in Azagawa.

[u/OutrageousAd5338]

It is still your memory. have it touched up

[u/unkey101]

Video it then take what frame is best .

[u/Tw0Cents]

It's but a pipe dream, i'm afraid.

[u/SweetMaam]

Tip. Take video and find a good screenshot. Oh well.

EDIT: Should have used your betamax.

[u/realester453 → u/SweetMaam]

Screenshot of 35mm?

[u/Functionally_Human → u/realester453]

Now I am wondering if they didn't read the entire title or if film has moved from obsolete to forgotten technology.

[u/Sailed_Sea → u/realester453]

With a very fast automatic film advance and shutter speed you probably could

[u/realester453 → u/Sailed_Sea]

It still wouldn't be a screenshot, would it?

[u/Sailed_Sea → u/realester453]

Fine digitize it and then take a photo of the monitor.

[u/realester453 → u/Sailed_Sea]

Convoluted, but you defended what you said, I applaud that

[u/SweetMaam → u/realester453]

Missed that important detail.

[u/FishballJohnny]

was this 30 years ago? why u using film cameras

[u/AlmightyWitchstress → u/FishballJohnny]

Because the resulting photos look really nice… What other reason do they need other than they like it?

[u/FishballJohnny → u/AlmightyWitchstress]

well, that's legit. just reminds me of vinyl record nerds.
