What would a trip to China be without a hotpot? It’s a must-try experience, and this time, it included some tasty (and by tasty, I mean flavorful—not making any judgment here) cow stomach. A unique texture and flavor that definitely adds an adventurous twist to the meal. Hotpot never disappoints in delivering surprises!
A Chinese chef skillfully cutting meat for a hotpot—every slice precise and deliberate. Watching the preparation adds to the anticipation of the meal, as the thinly sliced meat is key to the perfect hotpot experience. A mix of culinary art and tradition right before your eyes!
Not the lake, but the streets around the hotel. Hangzhou: skipping the famous West Lake this time and exploring the streets around the hotel instead. A mix of modern shops, local eateries, and everyday life gives a glimpse into the city beyond its tourist spots. Sometimes, the less iconic places are just as interesting!
First lunch in Hangzhou: hunger won out, and I didn’t venture far beyond the mall. It turned out to be one of the few “clean” meals of the week—simple, satisfying, and exactly what I needed to recharge after arriving. Sometimes convenience wins!
A Dreamliner (B787) at the gate in Narita—its sleek design and iconic silhouette always stand out. Watching it sit poised for departure, you can’t help but admire the engineering that make it one of the most impressive aircrafts in the sky. A perfect travel moment!
Rain in Yurakucho: the perfect chance to test the weather sealing on my X-T2. Between the raindrops and the neon reflections, it was a great setting to shoot. And yes, the camera handled it like a champ—seems all good!
Fresh pasta in Kagurazaka—a delightful new discovery! Handmade and perfectly cooked, it’s a treat to find such a gem in this charming neighborhood. A great spot for Italian comfort food with a touch of Kagurazaka’s unique vibe. Definitely coming back for more!
Pushing the Fuji X-T2 to its limits at night with boost mode at 14fps, face tracking AF, a minimum shutter speed of 1/200s, and very high ISO—it’s definitely a challenge, but the results are seriously impressive! The camera handled the fast action and low light beautifully, capturing sharp details and keeping noise surprisingly under control….
Tokyo Tower, as seen from Roppongi Hills on a sunny morning, is a sight to behold. The clear skies make the red and white structure pop against the vibrant blue backdrop, while the city sprawls out below in intricate detail. It’s the perfect vantage point to appreciate one of Tokyo’s most iconic landmarks.
Ran some simple high ISO tests with the X-T2, and once again, it delivered excellent performance. Even at higher settings, the images retained impressive detail and minimal noise. It’s great to see how well this camera handles challenging lighting conditions—perfect for low-light shooting without sacrificing quality. Very pleased!
