Memory Lane, literally: remembering life before the pandemic in Omoide Yokochō – also known as Piss Alley. For the curious ones, I have not switched back to Fuji, these are photos I took earlier. Even though I was not posting for a while, I was still taking photos. Since the opportunities to go out are now rather limited, I will now share them. Oh and if you haven’t done so already, please get vaccinated, it’s the LOGICAL thing to do.
With all my Canon gears gone, I needed a new wide angle lenses. I hesitated a lot between three lenses: the XF 10-22 f/4, the XF 14mm f/2.8 and the XF 16mm f/1.4. Weather sealing and large aperture finally won over lighter weight (14mm) and wider angle (10-22mm). The bokeh quality and sharpness are astounding….
In my view, some of the best roofs a shrine has to offer in Tokyo! And to that someone who believes Fuji cannot make a decent zoom, look at those shots ;-)
A brief escape to the nearby snowy mountains of Gunma for some winter fun on the slopes.
Repurposed princess castle, Minnie Mouse cake shop and a few other things into an awesome spaceship. Look at the amount of serious engineering that went into that beauty!
When service extends beyond basic duties. Western airlines, especially American ones have so much to learn.
I know I have said it many times, but I love the colors straight out of the L lenses. Here my 50mm/f1.2L at work.
