Raced home from work to catch some late afternoon light at the shrine. Unfortunately I was a bit late but I got a few shots I kind of like. I had to push the ISO up to 800 which is a bit too high for my aging D3000!














I'm glad I got this shot of but it's a little noisy hence the mono version.






Thanks for looking Very Happy

Excellent photos! And I don't mind the grain. It just makes the photos look a bit aged. In a good way. Smile

Ah, what a beautiful place for photography Japan is! What blossoms are those? Kind of early in the season, isn't it?

I also own an 80-200 f/4.5 Nikkor -- mine is in AI mount. It's nice to see such nice photos taken with a lens same as mine. Yours has a very nice, deep contrasty quality about it that I like very much.

Thanks

I'm going out tomorrow and I think I'll take the same lens and give it a go in daylight.

They are plum blossoms. Plums start blooming around the middle of February in my area. A special kind of Cherry Blossom called Kawazu Sakura starts blooming at around the same time.

Things really get going at the beginning of April when most of the cherrys start to bloom.

Ah, I was wondering if they might be plum blossoms. I'm not enough of an expert to tell the difference, but they definitely didn't look like cherry blossoms.

I was there during late November and early December, and managed to arrive during peak Fall colors season. It was spectacular. Especially the blood-red Japanese maples.

Some Fall colors on the Kinkakuji grounds -- the Golden Pavilion:

Canon A-1, 50mm f/1.8, Fujichrome 400, exposure unrecorded.

They all look alike to me! I'm clueless about flowers though. Nice shot at Kinkakuji. I've never been to Kyoto in the autumn. I've only been their in winter (very cold) and very early spring (still cold) when the trees were bare.

Oh man, I can't believe it! Well, I guess I can. I've never been to Washington DC, so who am I to talk? But really, you gotta visit Kyoto during the Fall. There are so many picturesque shrines and temples there that have beautiful Fall foliage on their grounds. Ryoanji was another of my favorites.

I'm sorry, I forgot to ask. In which part of Japan do you live?

Hi cooltouch

I've got a few but I don't do landscapes so much. The first two were done with the Ais 24.2.8. The other three are panos but I can't remember which lens I used. Probably an Ais 35/2.8 or Ai 50/1.4
