Flowers and Butterfly

Stray Cat
Perhaps the only decent looking stray cat of the neighbourhood. Most of them have ears or tail missing due to frequent fights. Countryside cats are a lot classier !

Standing Sushi Bar
After two unsuccessful tries, I finally had a chance to try the recently opened Standing Sushi Bar in Kagurazaka. There are many good restaurants in Kagurazaka but a good and reasonably priced sushiya was missing… till now. This place is good, really good !

Chichukai Uomaru
We have been there dozens of times so it was about time to shoot a small video. I apologise in advance for the background music : at one point, there’s some Céline Dion !

Ware in Kagurazaka

Back Focus
Since I was not happy with the sharpness my 5Dmk3 was giving me at full size, even with my 135mm/f2L (most probably one of the sharpest lens available), I decided to check its focus accuracy. Following this very simple procedure, I was able to adjust the AF for all my lenses. In the end, with ...

Japanese Restaurants
The epitome of good taste ! Shot somewhere in Kagurazaka.

Spicy Korean Noodles
Used to be served a few steps away from home. Sadly the restaurant has disappeared and I miss my spicy Korean noodles very much !
