To Catch a Star

Just back from Japan, mostly recovered from the 36 hours it took to cover 10 hours real distance , marathon trip back (I average 1-2 hours sleep a day when travelling) and game to start the task of (for the first, tentative time) exploring my images.

First up, some files from a lightning visit to Dotonbori, Osaka. We decided to pop down for an afternoon look and with my wife taking a load off, i had a quick once-up and once down of the main strip. I do believe this is the best street image environment I have ever been to. Hot or cold, day or night, it just has so much going on. It does not hurt that generally people are so distracted by the environment, they pay little attention to just one more guy with a camera.

Lessons learned and a few technique changes, some desired, some forced (I will get to these later), but overall, a good trip, great weather and plenty of new things discovered.
