I am corious... does He Tian and everyone forget about the shark?

I don't think so

The fandom seems pretty enthusiastic about it

And maybe Old Xian will show it in the following chapters, if they stay at He Cheng's house during the day

We can just wait to see ;)

I haven’t posted this new series as regularly as I should have. Truth is I’m full-time travelling through 4 countries right now and therefore I spend most of my time exploring and shooting photos (that might eventually appear here). I’ve posted Stories though and I went live a couple times. I hope you followed along ☺️. There were a few nice street photography shots posted there too. 
If you haven’t seen those, make sure you enable notifications, or how YouTubers say “smash that button” 🙄😂 Anyway, still in Japan for this one. You guys seem to have liked the park shot a lot, so I’m giving you something similar. The main challenge here is that the Aerochrome obviously doesn’t only change the foliage colours but also sky, water and buildings. So I had to take 2 separate shots and blend them together to achieve this photo and it took a bit of time because of course the leaves are not easy shapes to mask. 
But I made it eventually, and here it is. I just want to use this space to also remind you that on the 23rd of November I will co-host a street photography workshop with John Hughes. It’s a high value one because John and I have different styles so you get to learn from both of us (including editing), and it’s going to take more hours than usual. So head to @john.hughes.photography or to my link in bio and book your spot before they’re all gone. I am also trying to finally combat procrastination and revamp my YouTube channel for photography. Hopefully, this will happen. Stay tuned. —

Happy Monday! How are you feeling today? First of all, let me thank you all for the incredible response on my previous post. I knew it would have an impact, being so different from my previous posts, but I never thought it would receive such great feedback. Thank you so much! The success of that photo made me think about where Instagram is going and whether this is still a viable portfolio tool for professional photographers. Something that @adamkarnacz also discussed in a recent YouTube video (by the way, highly recommend his channel if you’re into landscape photography). 
But I still need to process the idea and I’m now back to finding the positives here and therefore I’ll leave my thoughts to another post in the future. Very happy to read what you think though, so feel free to comment below if you have an opinion on the subject. This new post today is another episode of the current Aerochrome series and is a step back into a more “normal” landscape scene. No tourists to avoid or play with, in fact there was barely anybody around when I shot this picture, despite being right after lunch time (yeah, forget what you know about landscape photography shooting times, this is when infrared works best). I was quite surprised with the look I achieved here, because so far I was used to a very bright red effect on the foliage. But these trees and bushes turned out to reflect the light differently and showed both a pink and orangey tint. I wonder if shooting a long exposure caused this change of look as well… 
Anyways, this is actually the photo that made me want to create this new photo series, because I felt I had to share these fantasy scenes I was creating. Where will I go from here might be another challenge… 😄.

I hope this shot lives up to the expectations I did set for myself in the previous post. You surely recognise this iconic spot in Kyoto. This bamboo forest has been photographed over and over (my favourite being @elialocardi’s) and it is visited by millions every year. So many people that it's actually pretty hard to find it empty for a clean shot, unless you come here waaay before sunrise. 
And even though the forest stretches to a few hundred meters, this is the exact spot everybody goes to photograph. In my one-day trip from Tokyo to Kyoto I could only choose one landmark to visit this early so I went to the Fushimi Inari shrine first and the bamboo forest second, still trying to get here early enough. There were quite a few groups already when I got here, but luckily still not overcrowded. It was probably earlier than 9am when I arrived so you can easily imagine what can this place become at more popular hours. 😱 When a place is not too crowded, there are ways to “make people disappear”, like using long exposures (not viable here as the trees were shaking) or blend together multiple shots to try to keep the clean bits of each one. So that’s what I thought I’d do, shooting a couple dozen pictures and hoping this time-consuming task would then work well… But in the end, when I looked at the photos, I found I had shot this one picture for which I could find some purpose as is. I thought the expression of awe in people's faces paired perfectly well with the dream/fantasy look of the Kodak Aerochrome... And so I kept this, no extra work needed. 
Simply threw a bunch of leaves in front of the camera (added in post) and here it is! If you haven’t, go to the previous post to learn about Aerochrome. The series continues... — #beautifulautumn #autumnintokyo #autumndays #kyotosnature #onedayinjapan #around_world #bambooforestkyoto #beautifulplaceworld #bambooforest #placesoftheworld #landscape_japan #travelgram #skypixels #natureaddict #explorekyoto (at Arashiyama Bamboo Forest, Kyoto, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/B22AE8GgY1i/?igshid=1cmq6gkgw2slp

Kodak Aerochrome was a popular infrared film with a very distinctive look, mostly turning green foliage into a bright red/purple tint. I was happily surprised that somebody actually figured out this was the source of my inspiration for this series (congrats @88.shotz). The product was discontinued a decade ago but there's been a few attempts to recreate it, so... ☺️ My original idea for this series was to create a pure infrared series, but we were rapidly approaching Autumn so I thought this Aerochrome look would be more fitting. Maybe I'll keep the infrared for later. The beautiful Autumn colours are very evident in the gorgeous Japanese gardens. And while I can appreciate the fascination one can have for Tokyo, in my quest for Beauty I think I have found more fulfillment in Kyoto. My visit was unfortunately very quick but I managed to visit and love most of the landmarks (also had the best street food in Japan). I would have enjoyed more time in the Golden Temple but security wanted all the tourists out of the way pretty quickly and also tripods were not allowed here, so the experience was very much touch and go (but living in London I'm used to this general distaste for photographers). I hope others have had a better experience as every second spent here is well worth. Anyway, you can easily see here why I decided to use the Aerochrome look. It simply makes the scene incredible, doesn't it? There's a few layers of different Aerochrome effects applied here, to achieve a broader range of colours, but to me this is the perfect example of what an Autumn scene should look like. So, Happy Autumn to all you folks in this Northern Emisphere! Next shot will still be from Kyoto. And trust me: you don't want to miss it.

Though Autumn is traditionally a season of letting things go, it can also be a season of renewal and rebirth.🔥 It can be a time to adopt a fresh new outlook in life and find enjoyment in the little but necessary things. There may be fewer flowers, but there are plenty of ripe fruits to be found! 💛 Oh, yes! I'm so ready to carry those sheaves with me, Lord!🔥 . . . . :. My favorite season 😍💛🍁🍂🍃 #autumn2018 #autumn #autumnintokyo #yellow💛 #autumnleaves #faveseason #seasons #renewal #rebirth #stretch #stepout #revelation #sweetJesus #readysetGO #harvesttime #ripefruits #sheavesforchrist #maximizingseasons #makingmemories #adventuresofJuday #wheninthelandoftherisingsun🇯🇵 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrXnr4Vhc0j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8nhzxtqyax05
