Daikanon #48 - High Key

From Wikipedia:

High-key lighting is a style of lighting for film, television, or photography that aims to reduce the lighting ratio present in the scene. This was originally done partly for technological reasons, since early film and television did not deal well with high contrast ratios, but now is used to suggest an upbeat mood. It is often used in sitcoms and comedies. High-key lighting is usually quite homogeneous and free from dark shadows. The terminology comes from the key light (main light).[citation needed]

The challenge was to do a shot in high key, and the Daikanon with a cloudy background gave me a great opportunity.

Evening Izumi Sky

This is the first picture I took with the Tokina 11-16 2.8.

Daimao

This is a place I want to try. It is a yakitori and wine bar in the north alley behind Sakurano Department Store.

I haven't been here yet, but I found the web address. http://www.sendai-daimao.com/

Looking Up

Looking up from a back street in downtown Sendai. The building to the left was built after I moved here, so it's like I watched it grow up.

North Face

This is where the North Face Store is in downtown Sendai on Hirose Street.

Blistering Sun

I took this to see how well my lens would hold up to flaring when pointed at the sun. It did pretty well.

Salsa Burger

This was good.
