Flower @ 1.4

This picture was taken with my lens wide-open at 1.4. I should have positioned myself so that light purple blob in the background was behind the flower.

Ray of Light

I thought of the bat signal when I saw this ray of light.

Spring Akiu Waterfall

Akiu Otaki (秋保大滝) on an April evening.

Spring Maple

This maple is in my neighborhood, and when I went to take a shot of it, I happened to find this ant on a leaf.

Daikanon #46

On TV last night there was a professional photographer talking about how to compose pictures, and he had a shot of Roppongi Hills with a cherry blossom tree in front of it where the building was at an angle. It was cool and he said it worked because of the triangle composition.

I will try for that next year, but I guess this kind of makes a triangle.

Asian Mountain Magnolia

I should use this picture in my class to show students the parts of a flower.

Jomon no Mori

I recently found this place in Sendai. It is a site where a Jomon-era village was found with many artifacts. I am looking forward to going there soon.

This is in Yamada, on the south side of Sendai next to Natori.
