Shinetsu Trail Hike
Just a few shots from our hike with the Board of Education. I don't have time to write anthing special about them because we have started harvesting our rice (and sunflowers) and will e pretty much busy from dusk till dawn the next few days. This morning we had the 80 year old obachyan show us how to cut and bind it by hand, rather than using the machine that our neighbors have lent us.

Really good photos in this post. What lens are you using for your wider angle shots? And whats your post processing like?

@Curtis
I am using the cheapest lens I could find. A Tamron 18-200. I used to have a really expensive lens, but I broke it in a bike crash. I vowed never to spend so much on a lens again.
As for post processing, I always touch up the levels, color balance, hue/saturation, and sharpness in photoshop. Recently one of my favorite moves has been to adjust the yellows in hue saturation to make them a bit more greener. It makes it look deceptivly lush.
