Fake Old Japan Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here is an old street in Japan, with buildings in a traditional Japanese style. There were many different shops, and restaurants selling Ramen, Sushi and other classic Japanese food.

Well... that's half true.
Actually, this is inside Chubu International Aiport, in Nagoya city, just off the coast from Tokoname. The airport's duty free area is a recreated traditional Japanese town, though obviously not everything is traditional.

Not a technically great photo, but it shows what I wanted to capture: a bit of faked old Japan. Something preserved/recreated for the amusement of passengers waiting for their flights.

umm...here again, structure is fine with some depth but the technical aspect is very lacking.

it seems that you've used the wrong settings on the camera. looking at your photo info, you used 'flash' but slow shutter speed, which is very strange. if you're not doing some rear flash + blur technique then there's absolutely no point for such a combo.

for now, shoot places of sufficient light with flash off.

btw this felt like a shopping mall than an airport terminal lol...
