It becomes spring and hotter gradually and day by day not so early
like recent years.
Plum and Kawazu Zakura cherry have bloomed slowly.
Atmosphere makes us calm and comfortable.
This movie is composed of still snaps and footage.
This time I took footage on Picture Profile6 for the first time.
I think I have to change the prior Picture Profile from S-log3 to
PP6 because of Vignette caused by pile of protector or filter.
I have used ND filter attached to the protector which is set on the
front of lens and the side parts of the protector and filters becomes
thicker and they make shadows on the corners, especially both of upper sides.
Now I think I have to stop ND filter to reduce the shadows.
Recently I take photographs very often.
Vignette prevent me from taking photographs correctly.

8月4日の今日、池上本門寺で行われた、みたま祭り、盆踊り大会に行ってきました。
夕景の撮影と初めてとなる、盆踊りの撮影を目的に行ってきました。
池上本門寺を散歩することが多く、今度撮影するならこういうカットを入れたいというような
場所をいくつか見つけてきていたので、その多くを盛り込みました。
盆踊りの様子を撮影するのは初めての事になると思いますが、
例年ここでよく撮影する、除夜の鐘とはまた違った風情があって楽しいものでした。
なかなか賑わっていたと思います。
出来栄えはまあまあというところですが、楽しめました。
いい時間を過ごせたと思います。

On August 4th in Ikegami Honmonji temple,
Mitama Matsuri festa was held and started at twilight.
I visited this temple to shoot the scenes of twilight and
Mitama Matsuri festa.
In Mitama Matsuri festa,people gather around the tower and join in Bon dancing.
Bon dancing is a type of dance in which people dance along the rhythm of a drum
in a round queue around the tower which a man plays a drum on the top.
It is a typical event during the season called Bon.
Bon is not a bonfire,we refer to a particular time in August as Bon盆.
In Japanese Buddhism,Bon is a season when we believe that our ancestors
come to the world we live again in the form of the souls and we do something
enjoyable in order to welcome them.
Bon dancing is one of those customs to spend nights of the season
to welcome ancestors souls.
It’s the first time for me to shoot Bon dancing festa.
I don’t say I could do my best then but it is so fun and
meaningful experience for me.
I could have the best time.
