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. I tend to prefer the Japanese maple. But when you combine the two of them… Well, it’s hard to compete with that. What do you [...]

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

Maples and Lantern

Many people process their photos in order. That is, last week’s shoot, yesterday’s shoot, today’s shoot—as the take them, basically. I do it a little differently. I long ago adopted Trey Ratcliff’s processing method of randomly picking images from past shoots to edit, rather than editing shoots in any linear fashion. It always kind of [...]

I long ago adopted Trey Ratcliff’s processing method of randomly picking images from past shoots to edit, rather than editing shoots in any linear fashion. It always kind of made sense to me.. that way I don’t bore people by posting all my x photos at once, nor do I bore myself by processing them all at once.

Enough of that. Despite predictions otherwise, the Japanese maples were lovely this year. I trekked up to a small hill side temple for this shot. This stone lantern is hidden behind the temple, somewhat in the woods, in an area I don’t think I’m technically suppose to go. The things we do to get good photos, huh?

Moss & Maple Leaves

To me, the best autumn weather is after a good rain, when it is still a bit dark and overcast. It may not be height and cheerful, but autumn isn’t suppose to be bright. Bonus: no wind. Makes photos easier. I took this photo from a small tea house near Okazaki Castle. The tea house [...]

I took this photo from a small tea house near Okazaki Castle. The tea house is surrounded by maple leaves and I must have spent an hour or two just photoing this place.

This shot is a small moss garden near the rear of the building. It is a simple garden, and the fallen leaves add to the scene.

Tea House Autumn Exit

Leaving the tea house, one is greeted with this scene. I’ve been invited to a full tea ceremony at this place twice during different autumns. Always a magical experience.
