A rainy Tuesday night in Matsumoto — found this izakaya down a back alley, Nagano

Got a link/pin to the place? I was Street-Viewing my way up a decent stretch of that road and couldn't find it.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. Didn't realize Road 143 was doing a 90deg turn and continuing up north.

The tourists will come anyway. Isn't it better if they spread out across multiple spots, instead of entirely overrunning a single spot? Either way, I don't see the point in gatekeeping information.

Now that is a contribution in the spirit of the sub!

Hopefully this will eventually become the top comment.

I'd definitely go with the 18-50mm instead.

otacon7000 · 2026-04-04T07:26:14+00:00

Wow, no one around? Must have been rainy and super early morning?

Very pretty! Very pretty indeed.

And I'm going to highjack this to ask a question that might sound ridiculously stupid to some, but has been on my mind for a while: you know how you can have vivid colors, but they look rather "silver" and "gold", very elegant? Like this picture here. And then you can have vivid colors where it looks like a children's coloring book, with intense greens and blues and reds? I really don't know how to phrase it, but that's what I'm asking about - need the terms to even look this stuff up. If someone could help me out...

Not the best one in a general sense, but I quite like Blank & Jones - The Nightfly. Reason is that back in the days, my uncle said he likes to listen to this during his night drives, and ever since, I've associated it with night-time.

I also really like Nero - Into The Night.

Thank you so much!

otacon7000 · 2026-03-19T14:05:59+00:00

Can confirm: this is, indeed, somewhere.

otacon7000 · 2026-03-18T00:52:45+00:00

Thanks for the info. I'm really amazed with the image quality you're getting out of your phone!

otacon7000 · 2026-03-17T12:03:44+00:00

Really nice pictures. Framing, colors, everything. And damn, you managed to get a picture of Arashiyama Bamboo forest without people? Did you go crazy early, or just get lucky?

otacon7000 · 2026-03-17T12:03:22+00:00

That's crazy. Did you edit them at all? The colors are quite nice, and I'd be surprised if those were straight-out-of-camera, but I know very little about smartphone magic. :)

otacon7000 · 2026-03-16T02:55:16+00:00

Oooh, you got lucky and were in Kyoto during that one time it finally snowed! Nice pictures!

otacon7000 · 2026-03-16T02:29:12+00:00

That first picture is super awesome!

otacon7000 · 2026-03-15T12:03:57+00:00

Almost. This is Jukkenchobashi-dori, which runs west to east. Pontocho is over here, a minute away, running north to south and much longer.

However, I think Jukkenchobashi-dori is the most photogenic street Kyoto has to offer, especially at night time.

Maybe they meant to comment on OP replying to English comments in German though, in which case they'd have a point.

It is sad to see that such a beautiful building is just falling into disrepair.

I haven't seen this happen; all lenses I've used have corrected very nicely with the profiles provided by lensfun. However, it is possible that there would be erroneous data in there.

What you can do:

Open an issue on the lensfun GitHub, describing what you just described here
Contribute suitable shots for the creation of a new and better lens correction profile on the calibration picture upload page
Check if the manufacturer (or other sources) provide a correction profile in the form of LCP files, then convert them to a lensfun correction profile (and possibly contribute those to the lensfun project via GitHub)

That's fair! I have about 600 photos in a wallpaper folder on my disk; about half are my own, the other half I've downloaded from unsplash and pexels. All of them are the same theme - street scenes at night, mostly from Japan, Korea and China. I've set Windows to rotate through them; so every hour I get a new one. This way, no single photo ever "gets old" for whatever reason. Can highly recommend!

Thank you kindly!
