Looking back on the topic on the photo train net # The story of searchingA picture of seven people waving with a smile from the observation seat of the Romance Car. When the photographer said, "I want to deliver this image to the people in question," he edited a part of it and posted it on Twitter, and there was a lot of feedback. On the other hand, parents and children taken at the same time also found photos. "Isn't it us?" The family was excited. We covered the miraculous encounters connected by Twitter.
The post was by Unipurin. Originally, it was "Noritetsu", but due to the effects of the corona virus, it was difficult to go out for days, so recently I have been focusing on "Tori-tetsu". On the first Sunday of February, Unipurin was filming a romance car at a shooting point in Kanagawa prefecture. There were several other people taking pictures nearby, but he said, "Since I was shooting with a telephoto lens, I was only concerned with the periphery of the viewfinder so that the train would fit neatly in the angle of view. I didn't even pay attention to the observatory. After the vehicle passed by, I checked the image on the spot, but at that time, I was aware that there was a person posing in the observation seat. However, when I magnified the image again after returning home, I noticed that the seven people sitting in the observatory were facing the camera with big smiles on their faces. "I was surprised, 'What the hell is this?'" says Unipurin, who says, "I'm happy to see it." "I definitely want to deliver such a good photo to the people in question," he posted along with a picture of the seven people sitting in the observation deck facing the camera with big smiles (the eyes were edited).
I received nearly 20,000 likes. There were reactions such as "I want you to receive it" and "A wonderful photo".
People who don't know the subject at all, even though their eyes are covered. Unipurin said, "Maybe there will be a complaint," but he felt that "it won't arrive anyway." However, one day after posting, I received a message. That is, it is us who are reflected in the photograph. It was accompanied by a sentence that read, "I'm very sorry for disturbing your precious VSE photo." I was surprised to hear that it really arrived, but after several exchanges of messages, I was convinced that it was the person himself. "I thought it was good that (what I posted) was received favorably."
Unprocessed VSE photo taken by Unipurin. (Provided by Unipurin)The subject was Takato Suzuki and his family. , a total of 7 friends. Mr. Suzuki, his colleague who loves trains, and his children love to ride trains. The Suzuki family usually watched videos of limited express trains and bullet trains on YouTube, but they said, "I want to ride the Romancecar next time." The observation seats of the limited express Romancecar VSE (type 500000) of Odakyu Electric Railway are very popular. It is called (Odakyu Electric Railway Public Relations). Since VSE will end regular service on March 11th, Mr. Suzuki went to Shinjuku Station to buy a ticket on January 6th, saying, "If you want to ride, now is the time." I was conscious that it was "useless", but I was able to purchase tickets for the group at the same time as the sale.
The day came. My family wondered, "Will I really be able to ride first?" "It's great to be able to get on the ferry near the end of regular service," he said as he boarded the observation deck. After getting on the train, a colleague from Toritetsu was supposed to take pictures of Mr. Suzuki and his friends riding the train at a shooting point in Kanagawa Prefecture. Mr. Suzuki and his friends were nervous as they approached the shooting point that had been arranged in advance. "Isn't that it?" When he saw his colleague, he waved his hand and smiled at him. It was Uni Pudding who happened to take the picture at that time. In the car after passing the shooting point, he said, "I wonder how it will be taken. I'm looking forward to it."
The Suzuki family, who was on the Romancecar for the first time this time. Two-year-old and four-year-old children don't look at the scenery when they get on other trains, but they seemed to be overwhelmed by the scenery from the observation seats, and "looked at it seriously." It is said that Mr. Suzuki's wife was also happy, saying, "It's fun." When I arrived at Hakone Yumoto, I enjoyed a short trip by eating skewers of abalone, hot spring steamed buns, and Hakone tiramisu, which was talked about as delicious. With such memories, when I searched for "VSE" on Twitter later, I found Unipurin's tweet. "It's not us," he said, surprised. “I was worried that I might get in the way of people who wanted to take pictures of the train itself, but I was happy that it was taken in a warm way,” he says. Regarding the exchange on Twitter this time, a spokesperson for Odakyu Electric Railway said, "We are pleased that you enjoyed riding the Limited Express Romance Car VSE (type 50000), and through the exchanges between customers, many people were interested. I'm glad that you received it," he commented. In addition, it has been announced that VSE will end regular operation on March 11. “Regular service of the VSE will end on March 11, 2011, but we are planning temporary service that many customers can enjoy. I would like to"
There is another main character in this encounter. That is the landlord of the shooting location. During the interview, Mr. Unipurin said, "There is one thing that worries me." It's about the shooting location. In recent years, there has also been a problem of 'photo iron', which destroys private property because people are absorbed in photography. Even though I was very careful when shooting, I was worried that I might offend someone. Therefore, the reporter decided to go to the site with Unipurin to confirm.
A vehicle taken from the vicinity while waiting for the landowner to show upIn late February, at the nearest station to the shooting location with Uni Pudding. We decided to meet up. When I exited the ticket gate, I was greeted by a gentle man who said, "Oh, it's sea urchin pudding, Oshima." With Mr. Oshima's guidance, we arrived at the site about a 10-minute walk from the station. Then, I found a man looking at me suspiciously from a little distance away. "I wonder if I'll get angry..." Oshima-san said, "Shall I ask that person?" Much more active than reporters. I rushed over to the man, told him the purpose of the interview, and asked him if he knew the owner of the shooting location. He told me the owner's house, which is a few minutes walk away. I immediately headed to the home of Mr. Oshima and the owner. When you press the door chime, unfortunately there is no one. But this is the newspaper reporter's treasured sword, the letter strategy. I put a short letter explaining the purpose of the interview and a business card in the mailbox and waited for a response. Mr. Oshima watches over us with twinkling eyes, saying, "It looks like he's experiencing the work of a newspaper reporter." appreciated. After that, I said goodbye to Mr. Oshima, who was scheduled, and I went to the site again. I waited for the landlord to appear while seeing off many Odakyu Electric Railway trains passing through the tracks, but no one showed up.
