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...

I had been shooting that morning along the beach and it was really a race against the sun to get some nice beach photos before the light became too strong. Thankfully the clouds prolonged the nice light and colors longer than a normal sunrise, and made for a nice scene overall. Along with this photo, check out my new...

Izu Seascape
I did an assignment about a week ago for Japan Travel down along the Izu Peninsula. I was there shooting the Kawazu Sakura Festival which is held around this time each year. I’ll share a link to the article as well as more photos later on, but this is one that I liked from my visit. This is actually from the nearby resort hotel that I stayed at for the assignment. It would have been...
