Street Snap #35 Shinjuku Station Construction, GR IV second attempt

Language: |

The debut of the GR IV (Street Snap #34 Shinjuku Station Construction, GR IV debut) happened under cloudy skies. I wanted to capture Shinjuku on a clear day, and fortunately the very next morning was bright and sunny.

I hurried back to Shinjuku with the GR IV in hand and photographed many of the same spots as the day before. The difference was striking, and I was reminded how well the GR IV renders light and shadow.

While shooting on cloudy or rainy days has its own charm, photographing Shinjuku under clear skies proved to be the perfect way to draw out the full potential of the GR IV. ■

GR IVでのデビューショット（Street Snap #34 Shinjuku Station Construction, GR IV debut）は、あいにくの曇り空だった。どうしても晴れた日に撮影したいと思っていたところ、翌日は快晴に恵まれた。

急いでGR IVを手に新宿駅へ向かい、前日と同じような場所を撮影した。やはり快晴の写りは格別で、GR IVが光と影を鮮明に描き出すカメラだと改めて実感した。

曇りや雨の日の撮影も悪くはないが、快晴の新宿を切り取る体験は、GR IVの性能を存分に引き出してくれるものだった。■
