Japanese Lanterns are fun to photograph in Japan. I have many shots in my collection and this is one of the most recent taken. I am constantly looking for different perpsectives on a fun subject to shoot. Enjoy!

Eaten Alive!

The fun challenge of Photography is shooting something unexpected. I thought this was an interesting shot of the holes in this leaf.

Worn Tiles

The tiles of Japanese homes are very interesting. This made for a cool texture I thought. Black and White really made the photo pop rather than color I thought.

Nagoya Castle Courtyard

Jim Atwood — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 23:30:00 +0000

This is one of my favorite shots of Nagoya Castle despite the sky being blown a bit. The weather was very warm, bright, and sunny. I was shooting around 2:00pm which is not good, but I had a polarizer on my lens and this helped quite a bit at capturing additional detail and color. I actually in this particular photo like the white background as it give the photo more of a portrait feel. It was not very busy as I visited on a Monday. I did go in the Castle and it was a great experience. By the way, I really felt like Nagoya Castle was kind of a date place for many couples. They were all over the place which was interesting I thought. For those that live in Japan, when you notice a dating place, you know what I mean…at least on this day I thought. Lots of fun.

Taxi Japan!

Taxis are often found lined up along side of the road waiting for customers. In Nagano the taxis literally are in line waiting for the next client as you have to grab a taxi from the head of the line first. The drivers are very good about this and will usher you to the front if necessary. This may not be true in other parts of Japan like Tokyo, but here these guys definitely play fair.

Standing in line

At the same time as the Sakura, you find a lot of these extremely bright yellow followers all over the place. I don’t know their name, but they are abundant here in Nagano. I thought these flowers looked like they were fighting for a place in line. Fun shot.

Little House in the Snow

Discovered I had some Winter Shots that I completely forgot about. Here there is some sort of building in the middle of nowhere. I can’t remember what it is, but if I do, I’ll update this photograph. I didn’t get out much last winter, but I did a couple of times to kick the snow tires…laugh.

Sakura Delight

Jim Atwood — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:46:52 +0000

These Sakura flowers really have a lot of character I think. This one I especially liked and the greenish yellow background is a small tree. At the right angle I was able to capture this particular part of the Sakura tree and fill the background almost completely with the small yellow tree behind it. Tweaked the side of my body a bit, but I finally got it right after a few shots.
