Jim Atwood — Thu, 28 May 2009 06:19:10 +0000

Photography in Nagoya Japan is a collection of photos depicting the ilfe and style of one of Japan’s most awesome port cities called Nagoya. I love kicking back and taking pictures of people, events, and life in ultra hip Nagoya City Japan. Video Slideshow and Images by Jim Atwood Photography at http://www.jimatwood.net.

Biker Portrait Japan

Jim Atwood — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 02:46:23 +0000

This isn’t the sharpest picture in the world, but it was interesting how I took it. I was sitting in my car with my 70-200mm which probably looked like I had a gun or something. This guy was coming pretty much right at me. I shot the photograph in rapid fire through the windshield as he was coming towards me. You can see his eyes have met my lens and the bent lip is priceless. I wish it was a tad bit more in sharp, but it was a very quick photo. I’m sure he was wondering what I was doing. Funny.

The Shooter

A fellow Canon Shooter out taking some photographs of the Zenkoji area. I liked how he gripped the camera along with the lens hood and hat which made for an interesting shot.

Strobist DVDs arrived.

Jim Atwood — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:20:12 +0000

Well the DVDs arrived yesterday. It took about two weeks to get the items from Midwest Photo Exchange located in Columbus, OH. This is the only place offering the Strobist DVDs at this time. I paid $139 dollars for the 8 DVD set and was dinged with $35.00 shipping to Japan via UPS. UPS then dinged me for 600 yen duty which is the first time I have ever had to pay duty for any DVDs. Thus aside from the Strobist DVDs, I wish I could have purchased them from some other company. Midwest Photo Exchange probably made a few bucks of the postage and UPS definitely made a few bucks as well. I just hate it sometimes when it’s so unnecessary. Now on to viewing the DVDS. I’ll post another update shortly. Geez….we should have a viewing party!

Just ordered Strobist’s 8 DVD Seminar Set

Jim Atwood — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:19:10 +0000

Although not an avid everyday reader of “The Strobist”, I have definitely been interested in the material he talks about. In Japan, I like to use flash and try to shoot off camera as much as possible. I was surprised this morning to see that a new DVD flash lighting box set was released and only 1000 copies too. So I rushed to get in an order for Japan. The excerpt on using Gels for cool backgrounds was really nice and I’m looking forward to revisiting the basics of flash and solidifying my knowledge even more. I’ll post more info once I receive the DVDs which may take one to two weeks to arrive. If you have any desire to do a lot of off camera flash, this DVD set is probably you’re best bet to reduce the learning curve in a short period of time. Of course getting out and practicing on your own will great help as well. Enjoy!

Nagoya Fashion Alert

Nagoya Fashion Alert – Not really the fashion of Nagoya but that is the point I think. All types of people were found wearing all types of fashion. It was really nice to see.
