Obvious first question is what camera/lens you used for this? Then also what time of day (i.e. is it as dark as it looks or is this intentional underexposure to get the vibe) was this and which Fujifilm did you use? Standard 400 ISO perhaps or something more niche?
(Mostly coming from a place of my night shots on film can be a bit hit and miss, so always interested in how others go about it)
This is a digital shot on Fujifilm X-H2 with the xf33 mm f1.4 and a black mist filter. Definitely underexposed to get the neon light vibe. If I recall this was in Kyoto after 10pm.
I did a lot of photo walks in Kyoto so I’m not sure exactly where this one was. Thanks for the interest in the shot!
I had never heard of the shop on the 2nd floor and thought it might be easy to find, but found out quickly it was a chain and gave up after checking a few touristy spots around Tokyo. I thought it vibed more western Japan, but didn’t feel like looking. As soon as you said Kyoto, though, found it in about 60 seconds, heh.
Nice shot!
Can you tell me a bit more about it?

Ah I misunderstood your initial comment!
Thanks for the detail! Do you get a lot of use out of the black mist filter? I’ve been considering grabbing one for a couple of my lenses
I feel like I get a lot of use out of it. The diffusion meshes well with the Fujifilm presets.
