MY MOST INTERESTING SNAPSHOTS!
I have been quite busy recently haven't had the chance to take any photograph at all...well, that is life but as soon as I get a hold of free time again I will grab my camera and take some new shots with new story :-))))
Meantime, I post this Oasis song which is one of my favourite songs! Cheers...
Since I had some freetime this saturday afternoon, I headed to the imperial palace area in Tokyo. This place has such a wonderful park and the palace itself is surrounded by this man-made river (I think). However, it is naturally beautiful. This place is one of hot spots for tourism actually, or if you wanna have a nice walk and exercise on saturday/sunday morning, this could be a great choice to breathe some fresh air ^__^.
There is always something that admires me about nature. Everyday as I have always found something amazing in nature, I have realized how important it is for us to respect and cherish our nature. After all, it is the only place we've got in order to live our lives. ^__^
Today I had traveled to Honjo, Waseda where my research lab is located. Although this facility is very advanced and well-developed, it is also very environment friendly facility surrounded by lots of trees. Indeed very balance between technology and nature ^__^. You guys can actually see this facility by using "google earth", just type Honjo, Waseda...You will be able to see the satellite shot of this environment friendly research facility. ^__^
Today I had a little chance to be off my work a little, so I went to take a walk at this nice little park just right nextdoor. I took some shots of different exposures and try to blend it together using GIMP. Well...Here is the result, not bad I think in terms of colour, it is stronger and more clear compared to single shot exposure. ^__^ Nice little experiment!
This is the great thing about photography actually, no matter which equipments that you carry around with you, everyone shares common interest. That is capturing moments! ^__^ I am having fun with photography because of moments I want to capture ^__^
As I walked through the office area in Marunouchi-Yurakucho, I was quite surprised today to see this extreme sunset sky. Luckily, I had brought my camera with me and ran over to the other side of the street to capture this interesting sky...^__^ 'cause honestly we never know when we can encounter interesting moments to capture in a daily photography. ^__^
I have always admired the traditional culture in Japan especially when it comes to traditional clothing. I was happy yesterday that I had the chance to take some shots when this two lovely couple had worn such a wonderful kimono together. They look very lovely indeed....^__^ Please see my flickr photostream if you would like to see more of their kimono photos.
The great thing about summer time (well...beside the very hot weather..hehehe) in Tokyo, Japan is that you will always find this flower "Ajisai" anywhere as you walk around the city. I love this flower 'cause the natural purple-blue color is very beautiful. It can sooth our eyes as we watch closely ^__^
Today after my regular work, I had a chance to take a little walk on my way home. I stopped by this food and shopping district where I usually grab something for my dinner ^__^. This area is pretty close to my home, so therefore I like to see the lights here when it started getting dark. ^__^ A typical light in Tokyo street, Japan...I love it!
I just bought a new lens for my camera about couple days ago. It wasn't high-end lens, as a matter of fact it was quite affordable (only about 30,000 Yen). It is a middle range Tamron XR Di II AF 18-200mm quite fit for my daily photography on the street. Quality wise, I think it is alright since the price was quite affordable as well (can't expect that much from that price...hehehe). I am quite happy with this camera for all purpose photography. ^__^ Here is one of the result taken just around where I live before night time.
Today as I was walking around Nishi-Shinjuku, Tokyo, I accidently saw this amazing taiko show in one of the shopping mall! I was lucky I guess to have seen it...I love the sound and the beat of Taiko drums. It sort of drives your adrenalin up! ^__^
Tokyo tower has always been my favourite spot to take snapshot! Night time has always been the best time for me to watch the tokyo tower. The yellow-orange lights just a great spark in the middle of the city. ^__^ We can also go to the top of the tokyo tower and see a great view of the city! and if you guys are lucky, sometimes you can watch a random artist playing some music there as well ^__^
It was actually yesterday that I finally found this cool book about musicians in the same era. The title of this book is "Alternative Music" or "オルタナティヴ・ミュージック" (original title is in japanese). Although I haven't quite read the detaisl of the book because it is all written in Japanese (it takes times for me to read in japanese), but the musicians photographs in this book are amazing. This book is written and photographed by a very professional japanese photographer, Ishida Masataka. A very cool book indeed! ^__^
