Shiraito Falls
In May I took a trip down to Shizuoka Prefecture for a meeting, and anytime I travel I can’t help but hope to use the chance to also take some photos! Thankfully, the meeting ended in the early afternoon which left me just enough time to take a short trip to Shiraito Falls. This lovely waterfall is easy to access via a combo of train and bus rides, which made it a perfect choice for...
Rock of Ages
This photo comes from my trip to Kamakura and Enoshima with fellow photographer Anthony Wood back in April. One thing that really helps a landscape photo is a solid foreground, and the shoreline of Enoshima is full of spots like this with some really interesting formations. I also love the texture of the rocks – the lines that zigzag across them makes for an appealing scene, especially when drenched in the shine of tidal waters...
Ryuzu Falls

Thankfully some of the best ones are fairly easy to get to via bus, and Ryuzu Falls is among them. Aside from...
Otodome Falls

I mostly focused on Shiraito, and I’ll be sharing those photos in the near future, but I thought I’d share this one as a kind of foretaste. Actually, at Shiraito I was using my neutral density filter for the first time. I’ll talk more about the ND filter...
Alone On Chuzenji
This photo comes from Lake Chuzenji in Nikko. Obviously in this photo my goal was to share the calm atmosphere along the lake. Although I’m not much of a fisherman (at all, actually), I imagine sitting in that boat on the lake at that moment was incredibly relaxing. And while I think it certainly was calm on the lake, on the shore just before taking this photo there was a totally different story going on!...
