Thinking back, I liked how small Hiroshima felt, and yet I know that we barely scratched the surface of that city. The dome, museum, Tokyu hands, okonomiyaki, and of course the ridiculously good tsukemen. I must go back.
Bye bye bikes
Hello passengers
Hello station
I have no idea where I took this, but I like it.
Hello Kyoto!
Pretty sunny so not many good captures here. The park was very nice though.
The central pond
Man vs Nature. I imagine the garden's designers purposely creating views like this.
I liked this bridge. If you look closely there are people on top :)
Another rule of traveling: as important as it is to spend at least one night out, one should try to wake up ridiculously early for one day as well. I started this practice due to the requirements of light when taking pictures. I usually get my best photos in early mornings when I travel because not only is the light better, but it's easier to capture people alone in their environments.
In Hiroshima I slept in. Oh well.
Rain shield, sun shield
An example of how awesome the light makes everything look, even something ordinary like a trolley
Sun's out. When old ladies take cover, your light is too harsh to take pictures anymore. That should be another rule of photography
It was a long day, but as a general rule, one should always spend at least one night out in a city before you go. I'm glad we did.
The same bridge I took pictures of earlier. It was almost impossible to get focus in the dim light and without a split prism on my manual 50 1.2
Liked the texture of this one.
This is in a bar where I had my first cocktail ever in Japan. It was the second best martini I've ever had in my entire life. The best being in Shinjuku. While while the western bar scene may be more creative. Nobody has spent more time making the perfect simple cocktail than the bartenders in Japan.
The view from the window
The best. I remember now ordering a vodka martini, simply because it was the only drink I was sure they would understand in English that I also enjoyed drinking sometimes. Seriously amazing.
Another tasty cocktail. I forget which
Walking back to the hotel. Liked the colours.
Liked the shadow on this one.
