Operation Chiaki: Day 12 (Kyoto)

In Japan, photography, vacation on November 21, 2009 at 5:20 PM

Well here I am again. This really brings back memories, the long train ride, the hustle and bustle, heck even the smell is great!

Though I had forgotten that check in time is 3pm and not 1pm. With that much time to kill, I left all my luggage and just took my D700 and 50mm f/1.8 to the Toji temple where I was informed that they were having their monthly (only on the 21st of each month) flea market there.

Operation Chiaki: Day 11 (Tokyo towers and kenrokuen)

The weather forecast said it would be a sunny day so made Tokyo Tower my target today.

Standing at 33 meters tall, it is one of the tallest structure in Tokyo. Going up cost about 1470 Yen for both the Main observatory and Special deck.

Operation Chiaki : Day 4 (Nikko) Photos

Finally have the scans back from Yodobashi though it did cost quite an amount but their workmanship is worth the money.

But being a cheapskate, I’ll scan the rest of them when I’m back in Malaysia. Here are the shots from Nikko, it was raining pretty bad that day so I took a rather unorthodox method to getting my shots.
