Snapped a few shots in Athens while indulging in some delicious local delicacies. From freshly baked pita to creamy tzatziki, and of course, souvlaki straight off the grill, every bite was a treat. The vibrant markets and cozy tavernas made it all the more memorable. Athens is a feast for both the eyes and the…
Greek taxi ride: just slightly above the speed limit, no seat belt, at night, in a tunnel… an adrenaline-packed mix of chaos and charm! Let’s just say it was an “authentic” experience.
Took two shots with the Zhong Yi Optics 35mm f/0.95, one wide open and one at f/5.6, and the difference is fascinating! At f/0.95, the dreamy, creamy bokeh takes over, isolating the subject beautifully with a soft, artistic vibe. It’s perfect for creating that shallow depth of field look. At f/5.6, the scene becomes much…
Had a great time playing with the 55-200mm in Naeba! The reach and sharpness of this lens were perfect for capturing the snowy landscapes and distant details on the slopes. It’s versatile, lightweight, and a joy to use in the winter scenery. Definitely a lens I’ll keep coming back to!
There was quite a lot of snow to deal with that morning in Naeba, but the little X-T2 handled the cold like a champ. Despite the freezing conditions and all the snow, it kept performing flawlessly—impressive for such a compact setup. Made capturing the snowy landscapes all the more enjoyable!
Snowboarding in Japan seems to be as much about style as it is about the slopes! For many young women, it’s a chance to show off their color coordination and makeup skills, often more so than their actual snowboarding abilities. The outfits are on point, and even on the coldest days, they manage to look…
I know I’m repeating myself, but in 10–20 years, Tokyo—and Japan as a whole—will look very different with so many small, traditional shops disappearing. These places are more than just businesses; they’re part of the city’s character and history. It’s bittersweet to think about how modernization and changing lifestyles might reshape the streets we know…
Tried the 35mm f/0.95 at night, and the creamy bokeh is absolutely lovely—it handles low light like a dream! That said, it does make me wish even more for an X-T3 with IBIS (in-body image stabilization). Having that extra stability would make this kind of shooting even better. Fingers crossed Fuji delivers soon!
Snapped a few shots on my way to work with the 35mm f/0.95, and I’m loving this lens more and more! The dreamy bokeh, sharp focus, and the way it handles light make every scene look special. It’s quickly becoming my favorite go-to for everyday shooting.
Had to skip breakfast at home this morning because of the yearly (and mandatory) health check. After all that radioactive yogurt and tests, I was starving! Definitely looking forward to making up for it with a proper meal now.
First day with the Mitakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 35mm f/0.95 Mark II on my Fuji X-T2, and I’m seriously impressed! The results are remarkable—it reminds me of my beloved Canon 50mm f/1.2L, but sharper and much easier to focus. That Canon lens produced stunning images but was notoriously tricky to nail focus with. I think it…
A windy day on the beaches of Asnelles in Normandy brings a sense of raw beauty and nostalgia. The waves crash against the shore, and the wind sweeps across the sand, carrying with it the history of this storied coastline. A peaceful yet powerful reminder of the past and the enduring charm of Normandy’s beaches.
Les Braves is a striking war memorial located on the shores of Omaha Beach in the village of Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, Normandy, France. It honors the American soldiers who lost their lives during the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, in World War II. The sculpture is composed of three symbolic elements: The Wings of Hope, Rise…
A fishing boat braving strong waves as it heads out to sea in Port-en-Bessin. The raw power of the ocean against the determination of the fishermen makes for a dramatic and timeless scene. You’ll have to bear with me for a few posts—I’ve got a lot of photos to share from my winter break back…
Picking up omikuji at the Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Jinja (北口本宮冨士浅間神社), or simply Sengen Jinja, was a serene experience. The soft, golden light of the early afternoon streaming through the trees added a peaceful and almost magical atmosphere to the shrine. A perfect moment to reflect while discovering what the omikuji had in store.
Caught a nice expo in the basement of Omotesando Hills in Tokyo: Kimono Roboto. A fascinating mix of tradition and technology, showcasing the elegance of kimonos with a futuristic twist. Definitely worth a visit for anyone interested in the fusion of classic Japanese culture and modern innovation!
The festive lighting at Omotesando Hills for Christmas is nothing short of spectacular. The elegant displays and twinkling lights create a warm and inviting atmosphere, blending modern style with holiday cheer. It’s a perfect spot to soak in the Christmas spirit while enjoying the chic vibe of Omotesando. For reference, the same scene but in…
Large Japanese house in Happo-En. Looks… very cold – based on personal experience.
A young Japanese couple posing at Happoen for their wedding photos—such a beautiful and serene scene. The bride’s elegant kimono and the groom’s formal attire perfectly complement the traditional garden setting. It’s moments like these that highlight the timeless beauty of Japanese culture and the joy of new beginnings.
