Japan 2009 - Kyoto (July 13-15)

Kyoto is gorgeous. Sadly we had very drab bright grey lighting for most of it, with lots of haze. Enough humidity to make cameras cry, hooray for descants.

Really wish I'd remembered a 77mm circ pol or ND filter...

Night time in Kyoto is lots of fun, lots of festivals, kimonos, and lantern light to play with. 2 nights worth of night shots sorta intermixed.

No flash / no tripod, all ambient light from the street. ISO 3200 and yet such awesome vivid colors. He's actually far more drab in day light without being lit by the neon glow from across the street.
