Japanese

Sug,

the summer here is really hard ... I am not used to it either. Tamagawa is interesting for me since I live maybe 300m away from that river.

Thanks Gabor! Yeah it is. I visited Japan to watch my sister's first professional play (she's a musical actress) a few years back. I had been away from Japanese summer for many years and oh it was HARD (I'm babied with SF weather) but Japanese Summer was oh so photogenic!

I love the 2 bamboo shots above.

Here are 3 of mine. Can anyone translate the character carved into the fountain?

Shot at my local town park using an OM4 and a 55/1.2 Zuiko lens. I had to use an ND filter for shooting f1.2 in the sunshine on 400 speed film.
