Shooting at night with a large aperture and IBIS—thank you, Fuji! The combination makes capturing sharp, low-light shots so much easier, letting me fully take advantage of that dreamy depth of field. Night photography feels effortless with this setup.
It’s great to be in Tokyo this year (and not away on a business trip) for some fresh Hanami opportunities. This time, I joined the “boys” at a famous cemetery in Tokyo—an unexpectedly lovely spot for cherry blossom viewing.
