Waterfall Minoo for Sunday Best

 

From one of many trips to Japan in the past, this waterfall is most poetic. It feels like a waterfall in high mountains of China. The perfection location for photography.

Pentax K10D - surprising what a small sensor and old tech can create a shot like this. 

The double whammy - football final and school holidays render Melbourne impossible to commute. I tried the candid photography in Melbourne CBD yesterday which was quite a shocker. Carp parking fee tripled on the public holidays. Traffic was so congested. There were crowds everywhere wearing Collingwood or Brisbane T shirts. I learnt the lesson to stay indoor even though there was Moon Cake Festival happening today.

Fukiware Region, Japan

 

Cost of living went up. I am trying to get some photos to farmer's markets near my home in country Victoria. I came across this one. So I put it up here since I already made the effort of finding it lol

Travel shots

Fukuroda Waterfall, Japan

 

Lately, I have tried to reorganise some previous travel photos that I have yet properly catalogued. Among them, I spot this whole album of this waterfall in Japan. It is considered as the tallest single span cascade fall in the country. Well, one of friends said to me, "What Fuk u Roda waterfall are you talking about, James?"  That is what boys do in a group bantering on innuendo.

As a tourist, it is a great effort to change transport from bullet train to subway, railway, local tram, then buses. In the end, I got lost. I hired a local taxi to bring me to the mountain foothold in the end. Crazy.

I prefer microfourthirds camera on long trips or overseas travel. Just lighter weight and reliable quality.

Ikaho Hot Spring, Tokyo, Japan

 

This was taken on a trip to North Hot Spring few hours of train from Tokyo. The place is packed by people. The hike is quite laborious too. The scenery is not bad for the entire journey though.
