More entries to the #creative366project  album – I'm now caught up for July…  "only" August, September, and October to go!  >_<

You will see some duplicates of shots in this album that have also been uploaded to other albums; those are normal, and will be kept to a minimum.

Have a good morning/evening folks!

Sunrise

Another quick add to the Hokkaido album.  This is a shot of a tree popularly known as the "Philosopher's tree", though I'm not sure of the history behind the name.

Our little band got up before the crack of dawn to drive out here and wait for the sun to rise.  We weren't alone; there were already other photographers also waiting for the sun to rise, some of whom had apparently made the trip several times before.  With mornings like these, it's easy to understand why.

Technical bits: D90 @f16, ISO200, 1/400s

Fudou Falls

Going through and working on my 366 projects today (it's been raining all day, so not much incentive to go out), and came across some shots that I never got around to processing.  This was during my trip to Hokkaido, back in July.  I'm not sure why I still haven't gone through this set because I really like some of the images I got there.

I remember this particular image because the water was fairly frigid – yet we all shucked off our shoes, rolled up our pant legs, and waded into the water with our tripods.  The results were well worth the chilly toes 😉

A couple of shots will be duplicated between here and my 366 album, but I'll try to keep those (duplicates) to a minimum.

Time for bed as I have early wake up tomorrow for work, so good night all!

Technical stuff: D90/f8/16mm (24mm FX equiv)/ISO 200

I know I should be posting my 366 shots, but it is autumn and what better time to post fall colors?  🙂

Just a single shot from last weekend's trip to the Aomori/Akita area – the fall colors on display there are a balm for the eyes, especially for someone like myself who's cooped up in the city day after day.

I'm waking up early so I'd better get to bed now – good night all!

I've just come back from a weekend of shooting fall colors and wanted to put up a quick preview post before going to bed.  🙂

Big thanks to +Jeff Austin for letting me tag along – be sure to check his stream in the coming days (as well as the posts of fellow photographers +Agustin Rafael Reyes and +Jason Arney ) for what are sure to be amazing images.  

And with that, good night all!
