The Last Sakura

May 6, 2013 – 22:48

As I mentioned in my previous post, I haven't been online much lately due to apartment-hunting, which has been taking up all of my free time.  I've been visiting housing agents every single day, and then coming home to spend 3-4 hours online browsing apartment listings.  

It makes me wonder what is the average time most people take when they search for their own apartments…

In my case though, I have a strict deadline, so I'll have to make a decision soon.. wish me luck!  

I chose to post this shot because it didn't need much in the way of processing – important because I just don't have time for that right now!  It's my last sakura shot for this year, I promise.

Gotta run to city hall now for paperwork this morning, have a good day folks!

Passing glance

April 2, 2013 – 12:58

This week has been raining like the dickens here in Tokyo – I'm glad I was able to get out the previous 2 weekends and shoot the cherry blossoms before they were all washed away.

This shot was taken in Yanaka, the site of a fairly large cemetery in the Nippori area.  It's usually a quiet and peaceful place, but the crowds come out during the time of the sakura/cherry blossoms.  However, you can still find some moments of quiet if you venture off the main road.

An old sakura shot from 2011!  I was comparing some of my images then to some of my images now, and while I definitely feel that I’ve improved, some of my old shots weren’t TOO terrible :p

Sakura Everywhere

This sakura shot was actually taken quite some ago, 2011 in fact!  I was going through my sakura shots of the past couple years, just to see the difference between how I took my shots then vs. now.  I definitely did not like most of my older shots.. But I thought this was pretty.

Probably won't post anything else till Monday as I have a lot of other (non-sakura related) photos to edit, but I figure this is a good image to end the week with 🙂

TGIF!

Sakura

No doubt most of you have already seen dozens of sakura (cherry blossom) photos over the last week or two (particularly if you follow other Japanese photographers), so I hope you're not too "blossomed-out" :p

This was taken last weekend while out with friends.  It's traditional in Japan during the cherry blossom season to go out for "Hanami" – basically going out to sit under the blossoms and enjoy a meal and some drinks.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanami

Though the weather started out cloudy with a 50% chance of rain, the skies cleared and when the sun came out I pointed the camera up and grabbed a few shots.  🙂

Have a good day folks!

Sakura (Cherry blossoms)

March 24, 2013 – 00:44

Finally got out to shoot some cherry blossoms yesterday.  Though it was fairly cloudy, the sun broke through later in the afternoon and I got some pretty blue skies in the background as well.

More flowers to come later, but now have to dash.  Have a good weekend!  🙂

Sakura at Yasukuni

April 3, 2011 – 23:29

no images were found

.

I went to Yasukuni yesterday in hopes that the cherry blossoms would be out but due to the extended chill this year, it looks like we’re still a week away or so before they’ll be out in full force.  Still, I managed to find some trees that have already started to bloom in defiance of the winter, and got some lovely pictures which can be seen in the photo section.  These were all taken at Yasukuni Shrine, and I plan to head back there again in another week or so for a few more shots.
