Selective focus with narrow depth of field at my favourite Hanami spot in Tokyo.
Life sounds like it’s been a whirlwind lately—wrapping up 5G, moving into a new house, and navigating a new school for your little one! Glad to hear things have settled enough for you to share again. This year’s cherry blossoms do sound unusual, with the cold throwing their timing off. Still, your shot captures their…
A quick Hong Kong stopover with the X-H1 sounds great, but those camera freezes must have been frustrating. Heat and humidity could definitely be culprits—Hong Kong can be tough on gear, and Japanese summer will put it through an even bigger stress test. Fingers crossed it holds up better next time. At least you got…

Train platform: the place where a working day typically begins in Tokyo. Commuters line up in neat rows, coffee in hand, as the rhythm of the city kicks into gear. It’s a scene of order, routine, and quiet anticipation before the rush of the day unfolds.
Gastrobar… as in gastroenteritis?! 😂 Not exactly the most appetizing association, but I guess they’re aiming for “gastronomy meets bar” vibes. Still, they might want to rethink that branding—doesn’t quite roll off the tongue for a place serving fancy food and drinks!
Captured various people waiting for trains in Tokyo, specifically in Shinjuku and Akihabara. Why, you ask? Turns out there’s a demand for these kinds of shots on Shutterstock! It’s interesting how everyday moments, like commuters standing by the platform, can be turned into stock photo gold. Sometimes the ordinary is what people are looking for.
It’s been raining non-stop for days here in Tokyo. The city takes on a completely different vibe—streets glisten, umbrellas fill the sidewalks, and the gray skies add a moody touch to the usual bustle. A bit dreary, but there’s always something atmospheric about Tokyo in the rain.
The 56mm f/1.2 APD has become a permanent fixture on my X-T2—it’s just that good! Incredible sharpness, dreamy bokeh, and perfect for portraits or anything with a shallow depth of field. On another note, The Station Agent was the first movie I saw with Peter Dinklage, long before his Game of Thrones fame. Such a…

The sharpness and bokeh made every shot pop, capturing the vibe of Tokyo’s liveliest district. Always a fascinating place to shoot!
I had to return my first Fuji XF 90mm lens because it came with dust inside straight out of the box. The replacement was clean initially, but after just three months of use, I’ve noticed around 20 specks of dust inside. While I understand that this doesn’t impact image quality, it’s frustrating for a lens…
What would a baseball game in Japan be without the beer vendors? These hard-working individuals navigate the stands with kegs strapped to their backs, tirelessly going up and down the stairs to keep the crowd refreshed. It’s a tough job, but their cheerful energy and quick service are part of the unique charm of Japanese…
Testing out the X-T2’s 8fps mode—it’s already fast, though half the speed of its max burst at 15fps. Honestly, what would I even do with that many shots at the highest speed? :) 8fps feels plenty quick for most situations, and it still captures all the action without filling up the card too fast!
The XF 90mm f/2 delivered some gorgeous, creamy bokeh while shooting plum flowers this spring. The lens’s sharp focus on the blossoms combined with the dreamy blur in the background really makes the flowers pop. It’s such a joy to use for capturing the delicate beauty of springtime!
Captured the Iron Dragon at Tokyo Daijingu near Iidabashi, and it’s another moment where the X-T2 truly shines. The more I learn to use this camera, the happier I am with my switch from Canon. Paired with the 90mm f/2, which rivals the legendary 135mm f/2 “magic prime” in sharpness and rendering, it feels like…
