“STATION is bazaar.” the words by the famous essayist in 19c. Europe. But I’ve forgotten who wrote it.
I love traveling by train, walking around the central station of the European cities and taking bunch of photos. I prefer to staying hotels near the big station, even if bad security…)lol.
I sometimes take 360 photos(mostly published them to Google Street View) at the stations on my way to the workspace or back to my home. IMO, RICOH THETA Z1 is stunning 360 Cam. Changing F number(aperture f2.1,f3.5,f5.6) is the most advanced feature on the glove. A famous professional Photographer, Shin’ichi Murata says in the video, “絞れば手前からピントが合う”. I’ve translated his precious words for you. "Larger F number likes Closer objects."
All the Street view images as below are captured in RAW(DNG) format, developed in Adobe Lightroom Classic and stitched by RICOH Official THETA Stitcher or PTGUI Pro ver.12(At this moment, it is beta version) running on macbook Air 2019/Mojave. I also use Dualfisheye Plug-in(HDR-DNG mode) and Kandao Raw+(stacking software).
If you have any questions, feel free to post your comments below.

「駅はバザールである」 Wowow開局して間もなくの頃、「Railway Story」の印象的なナレーションとして、脳裏に焼き付いています。しかし、誰の言葉だったか思い出せない。。。知ってる人は教えてほしいです。

ヨーロッパ旅行の醍醐味は列車での移動だと心得ています。「撮り鉄」とか「乗り鉄」とか言われるほどじゃないけど、かつてヨーロッパを鉄道で旅しました。駅へ行けば何でもある。「食べ物、飲み物、着る物、両替、散髪屋さん。。。」
キャプション：イギリス・ロンドン・パディントン駅
大きな都市には中央駅があり、たいていは行き止まりの頭端駅です。駅周辺は「治安が悪い」とよく言われますが、そんなことお構いなしに、いつも駅近くのホテルを利用します。ミュンヘンでは朝早く起きて駅へ行き、茹でたてのヴァイスヴルーストを食すのですよ。これは、絶品！ もう一度行きたいなぁ。ヨーロッパ鉄道の旅。
Thanks,Toyo
