Classic Negative film simulation
This photograph captures the Niōmon Gate of Gumyoji Temple, the oldest Buddhist temple in Yokohama, during a tranquil evening.
Taken from the top of the stone staircase, the shot showcases the historic gate illuminated softly in the background, while cherry blossoms frame the scene with their delicate petals. The image employs a long exposure technique, resulting in the ethereal blur of the nobori flags along the stairs, which add a dynamic element to the otherwise calm and serene composition.
The subtle play of light and shadow highlights the intricate details of the temple architecture and the surrounding foliage, creating a compelling contrast between the past and present.
Shot with a Fujifilm X100V camera and a standard wide-angle lens (equivalent to 35mm on a full-frame sensor), this photo encapsulates the beauty and peaceful ambiance of Gumyoji Temple at dusk.
