akihabara colorful japan people tokyo urban_scenery

I process most of my images through Filmulator. While playing around with the settings, I found a way to really make the image look a bit deep fried and oversaturated, blasted with colours that you wouldn’t actually see in real life. This is one of my photographs which met such a demise. I think it’s fitting though, given how colorful Akihabara actually still is, despite not necessarily being “deep fried” irl. Or maybe it is, up to everyone’s own opinion I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I took this photo while exploring Akihabara with my good friend Mia who had just landed the day before in Japan to visit me. It’s not the main street in Akihabara, but I think it captures quite well the bustling and colorful nature of the district.
