Kintai-Kyo Bridge of Iwakuni Japan
The Kintai-Kyo bridge is a magnificent sight that I captured in this photo. It is situated in the city of Iwakuni, in the Yamaguchi Prefecture of Japan.
The bridge is a wooden masterpiece that crosses the Nishiki River. It dates back to 1673, when the third lord of Iwakuni, Kikkawa Hiroyoshi, built it after reading a book about the West Lake in China. The bridge has endured many natural and man-made disasters and is regarded as one of the three great bridges in Japan. It is also a national treasure and a beautiful spot to visit.
Double Rainbow All The Way
This photo of the double rainbow was taken in Miyajima, Japan. It was one of those amazing lucky shots where the Photography Gods were with me. This shrine was built around 400 years ago in the water because the people believed the Island itself was a God. After seeing this double rainbow connect the island to the shrine, I might just believe it.
Into The Rain in Shanghai
One day, I was in Shanghai, and it was pouring rain. I was standing in this spot next to Sephora for some shelter when I looked up and saw the light shining onto the rain that was coming down the building. I thought it looked pretty cool, so I tried to see if I could point my camera up into the sky without getting any drops on the lens. The building was directing the rain away from the walls, so I could snap a few without a single drop hitting my lens.
Yosemite North Dome
I processed this when I first started using Color Efex Pro 4. It's a photo-processing software that I started using a few months back. I really like it, and it has really been a game-changer in my photography. You can check out a general review I wrote about on my site here: Color Efex Pro Review. It's a pretty awesome and easy-to-use piece of software.
Color Efex Pro Review
Color Efex Pro 4 is one of my favorite photo editing programs in the Nik Collection. A software collection that gives you quick and easy control of photo manipulation without any advanced photo editing knowledge.
The Hong Kong International Airport
On my last adventure, I stopped by Hong Kong International Airport. I heard it was cool and was excited to see it. However, I wasn't too comfortable pulling out my tripod and shooting the interiors of an airport. It might have gotten me some unwanted attention. So, using my stealth photography abilities, I was able to get a few sneak attack shots. . . It wasn't really stealth. I just shot handheld.
Kintai-kyo of Japan
The Kintai Bridge of Iwakuni Japan is a stunning example of ancient Japanese architecture. It was built in 1673 without using any nails, only interlocking wood pieces. I was lucky enough to photograph it some 300 years later, after paying the toll and testing its strength with my foot.
Shanghai Lights
Shanghai, China, is a pretty awesome place. I wasn't expecting it to be as cool as it was. The whole time I was there, I couldn't stop thinking about how it reminded me of Blade Runner. It was pouring rain the whole time, causing the wet streets to reflect all the neon Congee signs, which gave the look of Blade Runner cities.
