Japan re-visited - Week 4 (final) images added
« on: November 10, 2017, 07:22:18 »
I'm not sure exactly how often I've been in Japan - about a dozen times or slightly more - but it always excites and energises me. We are here for four weeks - here's a selection from the first week (all in Tokyo).

1. Hotel window-view, Akasaka.
2. National Museum of Art
3. Dark Tower 1. Aoyama.
4. Dark Tower 2.  Roppongi.
5. Ginko trees, Aoyama.
6. Model girl, Aoyama.
7. Nogi Jinja (shirne)
8. Olympic construction site.
9. School trip, Kachidoki.
10. Yoyogi Tower.

The ginkgo is particularly nice. Such an ancient tree.

Many thanks, Frank and Mongo. The shot of the ginko leaves is probably my own favourite; I shot several variations and have only processed a couple of them so far.

the national museum of art is also very good. great timing for light quality and direction.

I tend to love the lion but cannot live with your decision to cut off the foot

PS. The Ginko shows the IQ of the 200-500mm even at f/5.6 fully open!!!

Thank you for the art gallery, but I plead not guilty to cutting off the foot - it's not really a foot, just a a stump, and most of it is in shot.   :D

The ginko shot was made with the 70-200 f4, at f5.6 - I never travel with the beast, it's much too large and heavy.   ;D

Erik - thank you.

It seems Japan has energised you - good!
Usually I find Nature subjects more interesting over man-made ones, but in this case my choice goes for #2, it is eye candy to me.
Enjoy the rest of the stay,
Simone

The exceptional beauty of the Ginko tree always arouses an emotional response in me (and this beautiful photograph has exactly that effect) and your photograph of the glorious curves of the National Art Museum is having the same effect.

Truly great work.
