Otodome Falls
A couple of weeks back I had a meeting down in Shizuoka Prefecture. After the meeting I took the opportunity to stop by Otodome and Shiraito 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...

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.

The area around Nikko is filled with great hiking spots and breathtaking scenery, including some magnificent...
A Morning Walk Around Shimotsui

There are small towns that fit this description all over Japan of course, but if I were to...

As it happens, it reminds me of the intro to a certain TV show of my childhood. Any guesses what show I’m talking about? Click Here To Purchase A Print
