Just a few more photos of Day 3 which I just found in the Day 4 folder...
Wow, the 2nd last photo (orange flower) is amazing. I usually don't care much for flowers but this one really stands out. It has a DOF I've rarely witnessed in your photos.
wait, did I miss something? did you buy a new camera? say the NIKON D70 by any chance?
Well, I wasn't going to mention anything, I wanted to see if anyone commented on a noticable difference in the photos. Although this trip isn't the best place to test it out since I mostly took landscapes, which I rarely do here in Tokyo.
Overall I'm not as happy with what comes out of it, but I think that is more because I am really used to the Lumix and know how to make it do what I want, but haven't quite become intimate with the D70 yet. Also, I have been making it a rule to do everything manually when I have time... unless it's a fleeting moment shot, I leave it on automatic.
Love the photos.
Hope you don't mind but I've added you to the Best Japan Blog in Best Blogs in Asia site at http://www.misohoni.com/awards.php
