“ Night Rider ” My submission to 52Frames this week. The theme was leading lines. This is a topic a little more in my wheelhouse as I like symmetry. 📍 Funabashi, Chiba, #Japan 📷 #NikonZ5 #52frames #52frames_leadinglines #nikon #nikonphotography @bskyphotos.bsky.social

To try and take more photos and get me out of my comfort zone I have joined 52Frames. 52frames.com/photographer... Ramen is one of my all time favourite foods. I tried to be a little more creative with trying to show the depth of its flavour 📷 #Pixel6 #52frames_whatieat @bskyphotos.bsky.social

2024 has been a blur. Thank you to those who include me, help me, let me take photos, and make time for me TLDR; - Health okay-ish - Still single - Brain is still a mess - Taking photos, don't do anything with them - Japanese is a mystery - Friends biggest YAY - Need a new job #2024

The fifth and final day of my great Northern Tour was a sort of reserve day, so I had nothing planned. In the end I visited the #castle in Shiroishi. It was a very quiet and enjoyable side trip, with hardly any tourists 📷 #NikonZ5 📍 #Shiroishi #Japan #photography @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Day 4 of my great Northern Tour was Sendai and it's Tanabata festival This was a more relaxed festival as there wasn't just one big event so it was a bit more spread out and at your own pace 📷 #NikonZ5 📍 #Sendai #Japan #tanabatafestival #tanabata #photography @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Day 3 of my great Northern Tour was the Nebuta festival in Aomori Some quick photos I dumped from my camera. Another tough event to shoot and the photos will probably look better when I do some editing 📷 #NikonZ5 📍 #Aomori #Japan #nebutafestival #nebuta #nebutamatsuri @bskyphotos.bsky.social

A late blooming variety of Sakura is the Yaezakura, which means “multi-layered cherry blossom". It is a catch-all term for cherry blossoms with more than five petals and I think they are beautiful 📷 #Pixel6 📍 #TokyoSkytree #tokyo #sakura #japan #japan_nighttime_view #nightphotography #googlepixel

Peak Another photo of the early blooming sakura at Tokyo Skytree. This shot was a little harder as the gap was smaller and the blossoms had even less light on them 📷 #NikonZ5 📍 #TokyoSkytree #sakura #cherryblossom #japan #japan_nighttime_view #nightphotography #nikon @bskyphotos.bsky.social

Some more photos from when I went to Matsumoto to see the light up/light mapping of the castle. As the night went on, the reflections on the water became clearer and almost like a mirror. 📍 Matsumoto castle, Matsumoto, Nagano prefecture 📷 Nikon Z5 #japan #matsumoto #nikon #nightphotography

The most common cherry blossom tree variety (Somei Yoshino) has finally started to bloom here in Tokyo. It is 15 days later than usual. This is less common but early blooming variety (Kawazu-zakura). It was a fight to get this shot with photographers camping out there 😅 📷 Nikon Z5 📍 Tokyo Skytree

The have been good times, rough times, fun times and difficult times. Could I have been better off financially and other ways if I stayed in Australia? Almost certainly yes, but I have truly enjoyed my time here. I don't post a lot of selfies, but here are a few in my travels and with friends.
