Red and Yellow

The highlights of autumn in Japan are undoubtably the Ginkgo leaf which turns a brilliant yellow, and the Japanese Maple leaf, which turns a rich red. Everyone has their preference.

What do you think? Are you a Ginkgo or a Japanese Maple person?

Ghost Clouds

I was taking a walk to the store, happened to look up, and this is what I saw. Wild! I hadn’t planned to take any photos on the trip, so all I had was my iPhone. But luckily the iPhone has become good enough to capture scenes like this pretty well! The best camera is [...]

Spotted Sky

Love these altocumulus clouds! That is, by the way, the limit of my knowledge. If you happen to know the exact kind of altocumulus, please share. I made this up in stunning color, but decided it was a bit too similar to a few previous shots I did (here and here) so I fired up [...]

Cloudy Day

I took this as I was walking home today. Its been cloudy all day, the kind of grey sky that you can’t really see any detail in. I took my camera with me anyways, just in case something caught my eye. Luckily, as the sun started to drop, the light really started to define those [...]

I tried processing this image with the LAB color technique shown in this video: LAB Colour. It was interesting. I’ll have to explore more with this technique in the future!
