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...

Sunrise On The Beach In Izu and New Quick Tip Video
The photo below is one I was able to take in Izu a few weeks back. 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...

Atami Nights
This is another photo from my recent trip through Atami in Shizuoka Prefecture. As I mentioned in a previous post, I got there a bit later than I would have liked, so I ended up taking some shots I hadn’t really planned on in an effort o maximize my time. Sometimes you just have to role with the punches as they say, and as is frequently the case, this ended up producing one of my...

Atami Castle Shizuoka Prefecture
Yesterday I had a church event down in Shizuoka Prefecture, and on the way back home took a stop by the town of Atami on the Pacific coast. It’s a beautiful little town with some fantastic scenery and places to explore. I only got there just in time for sunset (because the sunset is so early now!) but the little time I spent there convinced me I need to go back sometime and explore some...
