Deliberately blurred

Had the chance to see the Edogawa fireworks last Saturday with some friends from work – the weather was ever so much more accommodating compared to the Adachi fireworks 2 weeks ago!

Since I've already taken lots of "normal" fireworks photos, I thought I'd play around with focus blur, just for fun.  It was my first time, and a little harder than I thought since it's hard to focus manually in the dark!  Still, I enjoyed it – though I think overall I still prefer "normal" fireworks since it's less hit-and-miss, especially in regards to composition (most of those shots are greatly cropped)

I'll post the a few "normal" shots later as well, but for now, goodnight from Tokyo 🙂

Controlled chaos

Fireworks (hanabi) season is starting in Japan now, so you will be seeing a bunch of fireworks photos uploaded by folks in Japan over the next couple of months 🙂

This was taken at the Adachi fireworks on Saturday – the event proceeded despite a downpour that had all of us totally drenched (we're a little more water-resistant than our cameras, so all rain protection went into keep our gear as dry as possible)

 Fortunately not much lightning, and the rains started to taper off just as the fireworks began.  Big thanks to +Agustin Rafael Reyes and DJ for finding this great spot and holding it, as well as +Giovanni Piliarvu and +Nithin Selva for the pleasure of their company.  

Off to work now, have a good day all!

Lightning strikes more than once

Did anyone get caught in today's thunderstorm?  I went out for a jog this afternoon, and literally 30 seconds after I got back home, it started pouring buckets.  Then… the power went out.  It was only out for about a minute, but was the first time that I've experienced a power outage in Tokyo!  

I then decided to grab my camera and try to capture some lightning shots.  Unfortunately, the view from my window is not really ideal since I'm level with the power lines.. 🙁
But still, it's the first time I've captured lightning shots, and it was fun.  Nature's scary, but also awesome 🙂

Traveler

Not sure why I didn't include this together with the other images in my first post, but here's one more from the #gplus3yearanniversary  photowalk at Haneda.  After this, I'll go back to my Europe shots 🙂

Good night from Tokyo!

Rainbow Bridge, Reflected

This was actually shot during the G+ 3 year anniversary photowalk, but I wanted to put it in its own post, rather than lumping it together with my other shots from that day (^^;

I almost didn't get this shot – just as I was preparing to shoot, it started raining, ruining the reflection in the water.  I started walking away, but after a few seconds, I noticed the rain was already starting to taper off, so I retraced my steps, set my camera as low as I could (without actually dipping it in the water), and fired off a couple frames.  Kinda like how it turned out 🙂

Goodnight from Tokyo!
