gvallee Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Yippie! My upload of 73 images went straight for sale. I do have quite a few favourites (hey I worked hard for it!), so I hope it's OK to post a mini-series.

Autumn Sky Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Famous Tokyo Skytree, world tallest tower. Image snapped just last week. Had 23hr layover in Haneda Intl. Airport & decided to go sightseeing. After 2 months in ultra polluted SE Asia, Tokyo was breath of fresh air! I could not believe -- streets clean like pharmacy. Everyone wearing masks too as corona fears have spread everywhere -- I was probably 1 out of 100 on average not wearing it. Image is vertical stitch of 4 frames. They told me on clear day you can see Mt. Fuji from the tower, but not on this day so I passed & went exploring some nearby pagodas. It is quite pricey too to get up -- ~30 USD! But it will definitely be on my list when I return to Japan for fabled cherry blossom season in April. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine joined the throngs climbing Mount Fuji a couple of years ago. That might be a cheaper alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just passing by (Bangkok -- Vancouver flight with long layover in Tokyo), so I hopped on train for city tour. Lots to photograph, from architecture to people. Extended visit to Japan, incl. Mt. Fuji, is on my bucket list. Stitching depends on camera I am using. If little Sony Rx, then it's in-camera automatic. If SLR (Skytree shot), then Photoshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ashmore Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 We visited my mother-in-law over the weekend and found that contractors had all but removed her exiting bathroom but hadn't yet installed the new bathroom. So obviously, like any normal person, I immediately reached for my camera and took some photos! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they are planning to remove this cable entirely. Edited February 24, 2020 by Matt Ashmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Sky Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Wat Pho, also known as Temple of the Reclining Buddha, in Bangkok Thailand by Night Interesting detail: Complex closes at 6pm, and it was still not dark. So night long exposure shots were not possible. But to my surprise I found the gate open (with nobody inside -- this is normally swarming with tourists!). What happened? King sister was coming for a visit; so they left the gate open past closing. I asked if I could quickly take some shots, and they let me. Was running around with tripod like crazy chicken for 15-20 min before guard told me "Ok she is coming now, get out". As soon as I did, there was limousine with row of security cars in front and behind on main street in front of complex, with rest of traffic blocked. Sometimes you just have to be lucky I guess 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
