Taken a few weeks ago with the Ai 50/1.4, Ais 35/2.8, pre Ai 55/3.5. I don't remember which lens for each picture though.

Last 3 are from March!

The bridge is lovely! A bit like a painting by some impressionist Smile

Is it the Sakura festival right now? All I know is my counterparts in Tokyo are on vacation this week and it's giving me a great deal of heartburn about my deadline next Monday. Confused

Thanks guys.

@David It was Golden Week last week here in Japan. It's really just a bunch of national holidays in the same week. The cherry blossoms have already finished in the Tokyo area (These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago). The "cherry blossom front", as the Japanese meteorologists call it, has moved further north and is probably nearer the north island Hokkaido now!

Some has moved to the area near my place Wink At least I think it's cherry, I was never good with botany.

I love cherry blossoms...
...we just don't really get them here in perth, instead they sell flowering pear and plum trees. They look similar but not the same, more like your pic Lena. Very Happy

#2 and #5 my favourite. No cherry blossom from where I am from.

very beautiful photos Yebisu!
great light on all. was there artificial lighting on some?
I specially like the first one with the flowers as bokeh and the beautiful lanterns, just love the colors!

I also was lucky to experience the Sakura season in Japan this year
let me add this one, I used a tilt adapter on my NEX5N and a Takumar f2/58mm



best greetings,
Andreas

Beautiful series, Yebisu, I really like the foot bridge pic, but all are nice.

Andreas, well-spotted!

haha, I think you can do the same with your Olympus, that is if there is a tilt adapter available for it too.

tilt adapters making any lens into a tilt lens, also shift adapters and helicoid adapters enabling close focus also with small rangefinder lenses..imo are definite advantages ( of imo many..Wink ) of mirrorless cameras.
I am sure that in the near future there will be more of those available for increasingly cheap prices
