Here’s a collection of pictures about driving and cars—smooth highways, winding backroads, sleek sports cars, and everyday rides. From city traffic to scenic road trips, these images capture the essence of life on the road, the thrill of driving, and the beauty of cars in all their forms. Enjoy the journey!
Crossing San Francisco Bay on a cold and misty Monday morning wasn’t exactly the warm welcome I’d hoped for after a ~9-hour flight from Tokyo. The foggy skyline and biting chill set a somber mood, but there’s still something captivating about the Bay’s quiet beauty in such conditions. Not ideal, but undeniably atmospheric.
Spotted an old Volkswagen Beetle in immaculate condition, a true time capsule on wheels. Judging by the driver, who looked like they might just be the original buyer, it’s been lovingly cared for over the years. A charming sight and a testament to the enduring appeal of a classic.
Expressway tunnels in Tokyo, captured handheld with the GX85. The smooth lines, glowing lights, and sense of motion make these tunnels surprisingly photogenic, especially with the camera’s excellent stabilization handling the low light and movement beautifully. A little urban photography on the go!
Rainy drive: just the kind of weather that makes leaving home on a Sunday to head to the airport for work even less appealing. Gloomy skies, wet roads, and the promise of a long week ahead—what a combination.
The Jungle Expedition from Kualoa Ranch Tours is an adventure into one of Oahu’s most iconic landscapes. The Kualoa Private Nature Reserve is not just a natural wonder but also a piece of Hawaiian legend, revered by ancient Hawaiians as sacred land. It’s also a favorite filming location for Hollywood, featured in blockbusters like Jurassic…
Uploading a few pictures from Hawaii in my next posts, starting with this one—a traffic jam in Honolulu. Nothing remarkable about the scene itself, but I really liked the light and the bokeh in this shot. Sometimes, it’s the simplest moments that make for the best photos.
Heading to Owakudani turned into an unforgettable traffic jam experience—1 hour to cover just 1 kilometer on a narrow mountain road. The sulfurous hot springs and volcanic views were worth it, but getting there felt like part of the adventure (or test of patience). Definitely pack snacks and good company for this kind of trip!
Impressive results with a slow shutter speed using the Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 12mm f/1.4 on the GX85. This little camera continues to amaze me—compact but packed with features. The 5-axis in-body sensor stabilization is a game-changer, letting me capture sharp shots even in challenging conditions. Honestly, it outpaces many DSLRs in this regard. Canon,…
Audi A4 Avant (B9) in Daytona Grey fitted with 18″ OZ Superturismo LM wheels in Matt Race Silver is a sleek blend of style and performance. The OZ wheels, weighing in at approximately 10.5kg in the 8×18 size, shave about 1kg off compared to the stock 18″ S-Line 5-twin-spoke star design. With a 5mm offset…
I enjoy walking, but there are times when the weather has other plans. When it’s too hot or the rain’s coming down hard, hopping into a taxi suddenly feels like a small luxury. A quick break from the elements, and sometimes even a chance to enjoy the city from a different perspective.
