Peaceful atmosphere in a Temple in Tokyo… Soothing !
Love these old barbers you can find here and there throughout Tokyo.
These handrails have been specifically designed for seniors, and have been popping up around Tokyo, an obvious sign of the aging population here.
Bikes for the whole family, with color coding :)
Too bad the water wasn’t perfectly still.
Almost finished cleaning my picture library : now reached the end of last year. Here the entrance of a temple, ready for the Japanese new year !
This is what you can see with a 300mm on the terrace of the Post Office in Marunouchi : plethoras of Shinkansen at Tokyo Station.
Excellent service as always at my local coffee shop :) Yes it’s a global brand but the level of service is definitely Japanese !
After years of renovation, Tokyo Station has been restored to its former glory. Impressive work but they should have put all the taxis underground and plant a few trees in front.
Let’s try stock photography with my own models :)
Sometime one gets very lucky : rainy day, 135mm in hand and a beautiful temple next to home :) Could not decide which of the two first ones was the best, I like them both and thought you might too.
Took my 135mm lens for a walk under the rain. Love the result… and the best is yet to come !
Colorful contrast in a temple in Tokyo.
Cute japanese car in Tokyo. That’s a Nissan Figaro.
In Edogawaku, you cannot avoid it and it will haunt all your shots : Tokyo Skytree :)
Train heading towards Asakusa, crossing the Sumida river.
Old – some would say vintage – Apple Computer Logo in Akihabara. A good reminder to the fanboys that things are meant to evolve so keep an open mind, always !
Yes, back to Ochanomizu station and its white metallic pillars. In Lightroom, B&W Look 5 is a preset I like. Highlight the shadows a bit, add some grain et voilà !
One of Tokyo’s most iconic spot ! 135mm was a bit long to catch the three tracks (yes, there’s another one), I’ll go back with my 24-70…
Strolling around Kagurazaka with a 50mm lens late at night is always a delight :) And I’m not only referring to the sight captured in the first shot… which by the way I did not manage to focus properly – shaky hands perhaps ? :D
Enjoying sashimis after her shishigosan (753) ceremony :)
