Kyoto and Tokyo in October 2013

[krötenblender]

Hello,

please have a look and hopefully enjoy pictures from my last trip to Japan in October 2013.

I made a daily blog of the trip, but here you see the images and headlines only, because all the text was in german. And since it was pretty much text, I removed it for better viewing here.

It is a mix of street photography, nature and others.

I had only my M240 with me and a Zeiss Ikon ZM as a backup, which I never needed. Most images were done with the current 50mm Summilux, some with the 35mm Sumilux FLE, and very few with 90mm Summicron and 28mm Elmarit.

Kroetenblender,

Wonderful! I was in Kyoto for the first time last spring and your photographs really capture the area well, at least from the perspective of a traveler. Excellent shots! Seeing these photos bring back many good memories 🙂

Could you also post the URL of your blog? I don't read German very well but could easily have google translate. I'd like to read your thoughts on what you saw.

Thanks,
Mark

Thank you! These Japan photos I found very alive and interesting.

They were successful in reviving memories I have from living and working in Japan (all too briefly) about 30 years ago.

I have some questions about the trip, maybe they are answered in your blog.

Thank you so far, I also have many memories to that trip. I made many more pictures there, but I'm still not through processing them...

I have restored the original texts of the blog. If you have questions about the photos or places, you can also ask of course. I think, the text is not so easy to understand for non-native-speakers, and google translate, well...

I'm German, so it's no problem 😉

i love that first image - it has some very dreamlike qualities to it. which lens was that, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[krötenblender]

That was the Leica Elmarit-M 28mm ASPH. Thanks for the compliment.

What a comprehensive travelogue.
Some splendid photos in there.

Too bad my German is pitiful 🙁

Those were very nice to view and brought back many memories, as my son and I took a photo trip to Kyoto a few years ago.

It's always interesting to see how different people photograph the same places. Here are my sets of places and people. Thanks for sharing yours.

The texts are not really needed to understand the photos, I think. But if you have questions, just ask.

Also thank you, makes me happy, that you like them. Yours have mostly a very different character, more "quiet", I would say. Some of them I do really like, especially the one of the bridge in the first set is pretty impressive.

In April I'm back in Japan. Some time after, the next set will be available. 😀
