Imperial Gardens, Tokyo

Saturday, December 5th, 2015

My last day in Tokyo. Went to the Imperial Gardens in the heart of downtown. The relatively warm weather for the season meant that the colours were still on the trees, making for some nice pics:

Today I joined my work colleagues for a trip to the iconic Mt Fuji. These pics were all taken using my 200mm lens and assembled from several shots spliced together in PhotoShop. The original images are big.

A pic showing a broad perspective of the vantage point I shot all of the subsequent pictures from:

This one zooms in just a bit, focusing on the landscape:

And this one looks at the top of Mt Fuji. You can see the zigzagging trails leading to top:

Definitely a “bucket-list item” experience for me!

Trip to the Tokyo Fish Market

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2015

Well worth the trip to see the world’s largest Fish Market. I ended up taking a lot of pictures of the fish that were on offer here, but when processing the pics I found that many of the shots involving the fish sellers and the delivery people were the ones that caught my attention.
