Alain's photography (Non Urban photos)) - 日本 / Japan (and more) !

[AlainPhoto]

I mean it !

[AlainPhoto]

thank you sooo, here is today s update !

[AlainPhoto]

Moved from page 1 in order not to overload the first page

Then here are a few images from 2008, still Japan, then I will make a break to see if you want some more or kick me out

[Þróndeimr]

You should do one picture each post or something, which makes each page limited to only 20 pictures. Similar to what i did in this thread, http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1131477

You won't get kicked out for posting great pictures!

[AlainPhoto]

yes, that is a good idea as of now, the page seems not so heavy to me, but we have fast connections in Japan, I am waiting for some feedback on that if some people think it si a pain

I saw your thread before, it is very interesting, I know some sweedish people and never got the opportunity to go there so I looked the sweedish ones with a lot of curisosity

Excellent pics! But now they're a little bit too big on my computer screen.

[Þróndeimr]

get a bigger screen!

Great pics, love the size of them.

(for those who enjoy high resolution imagery, a recommendation: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1141539 )

Yellow Fever > sorry, I can only support the "buy a HD screen" advice, they are notso expensive now

Bakasaurus > I am on my way to Kyoto to shoot a few more today

[Yellow Fever]

Its ok, at home I'm still using my very old desktop with a cheap monitor. At work, I use the apple wiith a HD screen and your pics are just fine.

[AlainPhoto]

Waaah, Kyoto is a dream place for photography! Went there last early winter. Would have wanted to return in spring time but I had field work in Iriomote, Okinawa. Would surely go back this next Autumn.

Can't wait to see your Kyoto pics. And my expectations are very high coming from you, hehe but I'm sure you will more than meet them.


I actually bought my entry level DSLR 2 days before my Kyoto trip last year and I only had 2 days to learn so my photos were a bit sucky. Haha.

I'm no kenjutsu expert but I'm just curious that why you didn't show his face. Doesn't the expression alone on the kenshi's face could determine the outcome of the battle between two sword men?

Btw, I'm still waiting for more of your HD photos to fill my computer screen!

bakasaurus > you bet, Kyoto is the most beautiful city on earth, after Paris for sure

In fact, most of my images come from Kyoto, it is a place I have fallen in love with, culture is so rich there ...

I hope you enjoy your next trip there !

Yellow Fever > he is a she not a martial demonstration, it was a dance in a Shinto festival !

but you are right, I cut the head so the eye can focus on the body rather than the face, because too often a face decides the outcome of the image ... I want people to forget about this and find meaning and grace in the body position

here is another shot :


by the way I am now closing the Japan/2009 serie, here is the last image !

No wonder "he" got no hair on "his" skinny arms!

[AlainPhoto]

now that Japan/2009 is closed, I have a few Bali images to share, then we will go back to Japan/2010

[AlainPhoto]

ok here is a first Bali shot !

[Yellow Fever]

Nice !!!!! but only one photo?

[nouveau.ukiyo]

I just wanted to say that I enjoy your pictures. I live in Japan as well and like to take pictures, although I don't have any serious equipment. If I ever get the funds, I'd like to invest in something though. In the mean time, I'll be looking out for your work as you post more!
