Anyone for Sushi?

A photographic journal about life in the land of the rising sun.

Arrived at my favourite of Akame's 48 falls just in time for the morning sun, and just before the hiking trail was overrun by Momiji spotters out for the public holiday.

Hiking through #Magome, in #Gifu, #Japan. This is a quick snapshot of a village way up in the Japanese Alps, that I will definitely be visiting again to capture some better images. #japanesealps @yukathomas

Another shot from last weekend's hiking adventure. I particularly like waterfalls on a rainy day. The rivers really rage and the surrounding wet rocks really add the the atmosphere. #Gifu #waterfall #japan #hiking #rain #river #landscape #slowshutterspeed had to make do without my #reallyrightstuff and #leefilters :)

Found this great spot while hiking in #Gifu with the pup @chiyotheshiba and @yukathomas. At first I was cursing that I only had my #50mm, no tripod and no filters, but this turned out really well after some precarious rock balancing in the middle of the river. #japan #waterfall #rain #river making do without my #reallyrightstuff and #leefilters :)

Enjoyed the evening at #ukimidou, which was lit up with hundreds of #candles, as part of #toukae festival in #nara, #japan #奈良 #燈花会 に行った。百本のキャンドルで灯された #浮見堂。そごい綺麗い！^ ^

Playing around with high exposures and my #bigstopper at #lakebiwa. This one came out quite well, with the isolated #torii gate. #shirahige #jinja #琵琶湖 #白鬚神社 #leefilters #longexposure #japan

Another long exposure experiment. This one was over exposed, creating a cool high key effect, leaving the colours of the torii gate intact. ＃白鬚神社 ＃琵琶湖 #shirahige #jinja #torii #bigstopper #longexposure

Looking out at the floating torii gate at Shirahige Jinja on Lake Biwa, Shiga prefecture. My dog's hair manages to get everywhere, including my camera sensor, and after some attempted on-location cleaning, I managed to completely mess it up and make things even worse. I feared that the 4hour round trip was in vain as most shots were covered in dust and unusable, but I managed to salvage a couple out of the afternoon. Definitely some unfinished business with this spot though! #lakebiwa #shirahige #jinja #japan #leefilters

Took an impromptu drive up to Lake Biwa to see the floating torii gate at Shirahige Jinja. 急に琵琶湖に白鬚神社へ写真を撮りに行った。 #bigstopper #leefilters #reallyrightstuff #fastopgear #canon #lakebiwa #japan #torii #琵琶湖 #白鬚神社 #日本
