Summer Stroll Japan

Jim Atwood — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 14:59:15 +0000

Summer Stroll shows a couple taking a walk along a hilltop that overlooks a man made lake on the otherside. Powerlines are abundant in Japan and from the distance shot, it was difficult to remove them, however, I though in this case they contributed nicely to the photo. I also gave the photo a slight tint to offset the powerful overcast of the sky.

Twos Company

Twos Company shows a sunflower with a couple of bees enjoying the feast. I experimented with exposure settings quite a bit on these flowers due to the stark contrast of the middle part and the yellow petals. It’s amazing at the cool effect you can achieve by manipulating the exposure more. It’s all a matter of taste, but I actually like the slightly over blown petals here. It just adds interest to the photo and story of the bees.

Lanterns Swaying in the Wind

It was very windy when this shot was taken. I liked the contrast of the lanterns against the temple in the background. I also liked the angles of the lanterns which provides for a more unique shot.

Really stark contrast between the lone leaf and the water covered steps. I like these scenes very much.

These are kind of fun and color flags or banners that are common throughout Japan during the Summer to advertise the popular Kakigori ice snack.

Self Distortion

Jim Atwood — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 02:47:50 +0000

Discovered this interesting mirror out in the shrubs and decided to take a quick self portrait. The mirror distorts me a bit, but perhaps in a good way?…laugh. I look a tad more slim than usual. Will need to revisit this mirror when/if I get bigger. Note I am wearing these cool new shades from Uniqlo Japan that actually allow me to see through the camera viewfinder without any light problems. It’s nice not to have to squint or stress my eyes on bright, hot sunny days.

Agony of Defeat

Saw this dude just laying there in agony of some sort. At first I thought he was just sleeping, but I actually think he was stressing over something. I thought the texture of his shoes and pants were pretty cool. This was also a very quick shot as I was on the move.
