Winter Red

Jim Atwood — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 13:18:22 +0000

I saw this lonely red flower in the middle of nowhere with snow all around. There was absolutely nothing else around thus aptly titled the photo winter red. Anybody know what kind of flower this is? I must admit I don’t know my flowers well. Thanks!

Golden Rings

Rings of Gold was fun to shoot and play around with. I think I took quite a few shots of this actually and finally ended up with this one for my porftolio. I liked the background colors and how they complimented or provided contrast for the golden rings and medallion. In addition, I like how the stairs in the background followed behind the insect or bug on the gold plate. Most people might not notice that, but I though it was pretty cool.

I am constantly impressed with how clean and neat things are in Japan. This is a tatamit stairway that gets a lot of foot traffic each day, yet it is still spotless and in fabulous shape!

Spilled Kanji

There are just a ton of interesting textures and Japanese Kanji writing to photograph throughout Japan. I found this stone wall and though it just begged for a photograph. Pretty cool I thought.

Lots of Graffiti tags and signatures are popping up all over Nagano City Japan. They are often on some interesting textures and walls. I thought the background color here was pretty cool along with the multicolor signatures.

Snowman in Japan

Jim Atwood — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 14:37:43 +0000

Saw this snowman while on a walk today and took some shots. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a snowman like this. Chose black and white for the final product which seemed better than color.

Magical Trees

Jim Atwood — Tue, 01 Jan 2008 08:20:07 +0000

The trees in Japan are really cool. I found a street that had some really interesting trees that seemed to bend and curve in all directions. In this photo, I was able to capture a tree with a Japanese roof backdrop. I also like the roofs on Japanese buildings which are quite intricate. Photo was taken with my Nikon 28mm f/1.4 lens.

Happy New Year!
