Part 03 of a recent trip to Nagano Prefecture. The sun tried to make an appearance... I used Fujifilm ISO400 for these photos, ... do you notice any difference from the Ilford FP4+ (ISO 125) that I used in Part 01-02? At the moment I am back in Nagano to ...

Like the wide and far view. Supposed the shadow in No.3 was from you😁. Look forward to your autumn color photos. Cheers!

Definitely more grainy with the Fujifilm iso400 but you can clearly see the difference when compared to digital.

It's been a quick by fun trip... only two nights this time and the plan is to be back again in mid November. Hope to have a few digital color shots to post up over the next few days... I did bring my film camera but ended up not even loading any film this... 

Today I caught some farm families working to process this year's rice... vegies are very reasonably priced at the local farmers markets. It's a great time of year. Casey

That first photo... not a drone ; ) ... there was a steep hill behind the home plate. It was the light and dark clouds that caught my attention in the third... and yes that's my shadow. Casey
