Photography

Out and about in 吉祥寺 (Kichijōji), Western Tokyo. The crowds were small due to the cold rain, and ... no blue tarps on the muddy ground. Still the blossoms were beautiful. Fuji x100t at f/2.0 1/800 ISO200 Heading back to Nagano Prefecture on Friday (tomorr...  

It's been wet and miserable here in N. CA and I think our trees are early too. Photo taken yesterday... ...  

Love all the deep green in that photo. I think I heard / read something about being early here in Tokyo ... me, I can't remember from year-to-year ;-) Casey .

...lots of deer and turkeys. The insane rain we've had accounts for the green : ) In the past, the blossoms in Tokyo peaked just before or on my wife's birthday first week of April.

I miss shooting film. Maybe later this year... I will be back to Tokyo in 2-3 months. For now I want to shoot with the Canon 5DII - gear in rotation. Casey .

Great day to be out with the camera if you can avoid the crowds !

but with rain comes white-ish sky rather than the dark blues that highlight the blossoms... always choices. Casey .

Rain, I spare you the wet shoes 😀 ...  

is to shoot after the sun goes down (!)(!) Casey .

Very nice Casey. I hope you get some photos with the crowds too, which is always a pleasure to see. The trees are blooming here too.

I'll see what I can come up with once I am back to Nagano Prefecture... Casey .

Enjoy the spring there, it is particularly beautiful. Cheers, Filip

The blossoming is getting underway here in the Washington, DC area.

The DC area is famous for their cherry trees... Casey .

But, if we get a nice soft rainy day... might have to get on it.

Thanks for documenting it!
