Cloudy Koganezaki Sunset – Lightroom Only
I’ve been wanting to do another Lightroom Only post for a while, and this photo gave me the perfect opportunity to do just that. This image comes from Koganezaki – a lovely cape on the Western coast of Japan’s Izu Peninsula. Considering how lovely it is, I was all the more disappointed that the weather was not nicer. As you can see, it was totally cloudy, with only a short window of diffused light coming...
Mt Fuji Sunrise On Lake Motosuko
This image is one that I took about a year ago from a sunrise on Lake Motosuko, at the base of Mt Fuji. There are five famous lakes scattered around Mt. Fuji, all formed presumably from past eruptions. Some of the lakes even used to be connected, but lava flows cut through and separated them.

We had a great few weeks, and as it was the first time in 3 years that we had been back to America, you can imagine how much we all enjoyed it! I took a lot of time to travel around and take lots of photos, and one...
Favorite Cherry Blossom Photos From The 2016 Season In Japan

There were only maybe 2 truly good weather days during the season, and only one while things were at full bloom. Nevertheless, I took a lot of images and have several that I’m very pleased with. So I thought I’d...
