Snapped a few shots from the aircraft, a B777, while waiting for takeoff at Narita Airport. The tarmac was buzzing with activity, and ANA planes dominated the scene. Among them, a sleek Dreamliner (B787) stood out with its modern design. The lineup of aircraft and the busy atmosphere made for some great pre-flight captures.
Tried out the WiFi remote on my GX85 in the ANA Lounge at Narita, capturing a woman quietly reading a book. The reflection on the polished table added an elegant symmetry to the shot, complementing the serene atmosphere. A simple yet compelling subject, perfect for expanding my Getty collection.
Tried the Noodle Bar at LaQua—a decent spot for a quick meal. The menu is straightforward but satisfying, with well-prepared noodles and flavorful broths. Convenient and cozy, it’s a good choice if you’re in the area and craving something simple yet tasty.
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.
Yes, that’s right—another platform shot! There’s just something timeless about the symmetry, the lines leading into the distance, and the energy of the trains pulling in and out. With the right lens and aperture, every shot feels fresh, even if it’s the same scene. It’s hard to resist!
Viron Shibuya: A little slice of Paris in Tokyo. Yes, it’s on the pricey side, but their Oignon Soup? Absolutely worth it—rich, hearty, and downright phenomenal. Bon appétit!
15 minutes of ethnology in Shibuya: a visual dive into the human symphony of Tokyo’s busiest district. From fashion-forward locals to fleeting moments of connection, it’s a kaleidoscope of life and culture. All colors as captured—no edits, just raw, vivid reality.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—I absolutely love the colors straight out of the L lenses. This shot with the 50mm f/1.2L is no exception. The tones are rich and vibrant without feeling overdone, and the lens’s rendering at wide aperture adds that magical, buttery quality. A joy to work with every…
Really happy with the perspective in this shot of the platforms at Shinjuku Station. The long focal length compresses the scene beautifully, while the large aperture adds a dreamy depth of field, making the lines and details pop. It’s a classic combo that never fails to deliver.
Back from Korea, and the flight was relatively uneventful—except for my neighbor, a Japanese lady, who dedicated a solid 10 minutes to taking selfies. Different angles, expressions, and probably filters too. Impressive commitment, though I couldn’t help but wonder if she actually found the perfect shot and perhaps more importantly, would anyone care?
