Japan Images: I Can Run By Hydrogen

This was shot outside of the Western entrance to the grounds of Osaka Castle.

I was busy taking shots of the outside moats and surroundings and almost got run-over by this guy in his very quiet “I Can Run By Hydrogen” machine.

Japan Images: Osaka Castle Closeup: December 24, 2009
After a cloudy morning it turned out to be a beautiful clear day for our visit to Osaka Castle (大坂城). I shot this closeup view of the roof on the south side of the castle, which is what you first see as you enter the main gate. The crystal blue sky really set off the gold

I found these school children sitting in the grounds of Osaka Castle sketching the front wall of the castle on what seemed to be a school excursion. Being Japanese, they were all sitting perfectly still and behaving themselves – far different from what I would see at home.

Japan Images: Meiji Bride: November 29, 2009
I shot this image in the grounds of Meiji Shrine (明治神宮) in Shibuya, Tokyo. As a keen photographer and Japanophile, it’s days like this, when you come across such a stunning ceremony in another country, that puts a big smile on your face.

Japan Images: Ueno By Night: November 11, 2009
These images were taken in and around JR Ueno train station and along Ameyako in Ueno, Tokyo. It was my first night shoot with the Canon 5D Mark II, which I had picked up a few days earlier at Yodobashi in Akihabara.
