Lots of locations this year... some for the first time. Niigata Prefecture in January, Karuizawa (Nagano Prefecture) throughout the year, the Philippines in July, and an October visit to Santa Fe (New Mexico USA). Here are my 10 photo picks for the year i...

Over the last 8-10 years I have had a chance to travel for longer periods in different parts of Japan... typically Northern Japan in winter. 2019 will be Akita and Aomori prefectures. The former will be a new location and it's a revisit to Aomori Prefectu...
Thanks JLCman...

Every year since I started doing extended 'photo shoots' I do one enlargement (one print per year)... this year it was (№ 2) Bandai Bridge over the Shinano River in Niigata city (Niigata Prefecture). Funny... this month when Echi visited Tokyo that photo ...
Wow Casey

That photo was taken quite close to the [shinkansen] station in Niigata City using the Fuji x100t digital (I shot mostly film on the trip). We had about 80cm of snow in one 24 hour period... just loved the experience and took I more than one opportunity t...
Thank you Sean...

The lights are so inviting... and for some reason I enjoy taking photos in the cold / snow ; ) Casey
A good review...

No.2 and 5 are still vivid in my mind which I was attracted to when you first shared the pictures.
Thank you S F...

For № 5 "Benzaiten Shrine" I was using the Canon 5D II and 100mm f/2.8 Macro, which is a good walking around lens that's also a Macro. With that body I don't have a super wide nor a 50mm so I mostly end up with either the 35mm f/1.4L or the aforementioned...

№ 1 "Niigata city..." was a very welcoming scene on a cold night, probably what drew me to take the photo. The recap process is quite simple... I archive every thread I start here on the Photo Forum so it takes about 30 minutes to go back over the approx....
All great images....

but that Bandai bridge and the Santa Fe panorama are something else . Cheers, Filip
Thank you Filip...

Totally agree with your comments... IMVHO ; ) That panorama needs a glass of red zin and maybe cheese & crackers. Casey

About 2 km down from that location the Shinano River empties into the Japan Sea so the river is slightly tidal and in the winter they have to work to keep the ice from building up. Casey ...
Very well done Casey 👍

I try to pick up one or two but this is a difficult task they all stand out in a different way. If I force myself to choose a favorite I’ll take the Bendai Bridge for its very calm and quiet feeling in our world of running for business excitement and some...
Thank you Mike...

On my annual winter photo shoots (e.g. the Niigata Bandai Bridge) I am normally traveling alone so I don't have to hurry unless the light is changing etc. The fog and graphic nature of car tires tracks in the new snow demanded a photo (28mm FL)... just ha...
Thank you Mr Green...
