even though its nominated as one of the new wonders of the world i find nth special about it.

fushimi inari taisha,kyoto

the place with thousands of tori-gates. easily to get lost and should b very creepy early in the morning or late in the evening when mists set in(but think of the photography opportunities!

thanks, i'll try to write more in the future. i took that on the way down from mt.fuji. even though all the pics i posted was in the day time, we actually climbed at night to catch the sunrise. the sunrise is something to see and i did take alot of pictures! but alas, i underestimated the weather(how cold can it be in summer ???) and brought to lil clothing. with strong winds (where my cheapo tripod felt like it was going to tumble) at 0 degrees, my hands was just to shaky even with a tripod.

so this is a lesson to be learned :P

shibuya,tokyo..definitely happening and overcrowded! i think this small part of tokyo has more ppl than kl...

hi clemong888,
nice picture u got there.
Like to know how is the lighting condition at the fish market? I mite be visiting one soon...
thanks.

[clemong888]

i guess different fish markets have different lighting. i went there at 7am so more than enough light. but iso was set to 400 o 800 if i remember correctly.

[noordin]

Fu Yoooooh. Beautiful! The picture from the peak is breathtaking!

Thanks for sharing.

BTW did you go on your own or on tour? I'd like to do Japan again and I'm wondering if the package tour is worth it.

[clemong888]

i'm studying here so everywhere i go is on a budget. hehe.. it would really depend on what the package offers. going on tours save you the hassle of transportation which can be quite a pain. on the other hand, your time is limited in terms of photography time and it's pretty much the popular destinations only.

[alancheong7]

Wow, thanks for sharing.

Mmm, world famous fish market with giant tuna :D
Errr, the sunrise over Fuji, looks like the skull for the Phantom or the Punisher :D

[kayjay]

urm..alot eh, non camera related stuff. camera equipment here is abt the same price as msia.. the nikkor 50 1.8D is even more expensive here but once in a while, can find some rare gems.

gundams are cheap. i like my mp3 player. and high end earphones are easily available(not to say cheaper) ipod is cheaper than in msia, retail price. of course videogames.. wanna get a wii.. want but i'm thinking of an equivalent lens i can get with tht money.

i don't buy much la, cos most of my money spent on traveling.

[clemong888]

autumn in kyoto. i would definitely recommend traveling during this season unless u really wanna see cherry blossoms during spring. nice weather and very red :)
