Happy Halloween!

This has nothing whatsoever to do with Halloween, but what the hey.  (^^)

I had planned to photograph a zombie parade this evening, but I found out too late that the times had changed, and I I wasn't able to make it in time.

Oh well, better luck next year.  Hope the rest of you have better luck with your halloween pictures, and don't get too sick from all the candy 😉

A touch of color

Why this shot?  I was fascinated by the tinge of purple along the edge of the leaves, it was pretty.. and that's all 🙂

Floral Glow

This should be an easy flower to identify, care to take a guess?  🙂

It was also extremely frustrating to shoot because I was doing it handheld (we were in a enclosed garden), and I didn't have a tripod handy.  Lots of grumbling, but I finally managed to nab a non-blurry shot.

Good night from Tokyo!  🙂

Morning Mists

An early morning shot of Lake Kawaguchi – I'd gone out around 0530 with my mother to photograph Mt. Fuji (those images turned out to be fairly average, but I may post it later anyway), but my favorite shot of the morning ended up being of the lake, shot quickly as we were walking back for breakfast.

Mirrored heights

I've shot something similar to this before, but different skies, different angles… you notice something different that makes it worth shooting again.  🙂

Weekend's coming up – very much looking forward to it..

After the storm

The "largest typhoon to hit Tokyo in the past decade" hit hard last night, but started to calm down late in the morning.  By the afternoon , all traces of the bad weather had cleared.

Took this from the top floor of my office building – hard to believe that just hours before it had been pouring rain and gusting like crazy..

Looking for light

Was sick all of last week with a nasty bug, so have spent the weekend recovering.  Getting better, but being sick's no fun.  🙁

Layered depths

My last "abstract" shot for a bit (until I shoot more)  😉

Abstract

No, I didn't use the liquefy tool in photoshop for this shot 😛

One of the nice things about my vacation was that when I went out with my family, I was more relaxed, in a better frame of mind to experiment occasionally.  Though I'm back at work now, I hope I can continue doing so.

This photo probably looks like a swirly mess, but regardless, I think it's important to try to see things differently, so I consider this practice towards that goal.  🙂

Good night from Tokyo!
