Late Afternoon Over Tokyo || Lightroom Only

The beginning of every year is always a bit busy for my family, filled with many celebrations, among them being my youngest daughter’s birthday. This year we intended to celebrate by taking her to the Tokyo Skytree, but on her actual birthday my son got chicken pox. Then a couple of weeks later when we planned to make it up, she got them as well! Thankfully, this last week we finally were able to make...

Unfortunately, it was very cloudy and rainy, so we weren’t able to see...

October 2014 Lunar Eclipse

Tonight we got a special treat in Japan, as we were able to see a full eclipse of the moon. Thought I’d share a quick photo I took this evening. Unfortunately the biggest lens I currently have is an 85mm full frame lens, and even using DX mode on my camera I had to crop significantly. Still, it didn’t turn out too badly. Hope you got to enjoy it, wherever you are! Camera: Nikon D610...
