I hope she remembered to clean that weapon after using it. Great photo though.




Now that is advertising I can relate to.

Actually, afterwards I had to clean myself off pretty well as I got oil all over my jeans, hands, camera and the guns we used. Fun fact: Oiling up a well endowed woman is never uninteresting.

We need to go for a beer. You know that, right?
Would Shibuya be out of the question? I had two teeth pulled today so I say shoot for next week or whenever it is a good time for you.

While I'm no aquamarine, I thought I'd post these up. I took these on Saturday near Hirakata Station in Osaka.

True I like aquamarines photos better in general, he has a nice feel for his subject matter and brings them to life with his camera. Still, you have a few nice photos here, although the black borders do them an injustice. ( It gives some of your photos a "leaning" aspect because you didn't use a tripod and were not perfectly straight when you took the picture.)

Unwanted criticism aside, thank you for sharing your photos, I enjoyed them. I hate poodles but that is a good photo. My favorite would have to be the street shot of the car parked on the sidewalk in front of that unusual gray building with the bag of trash near the car. Pretty cool pictures, thanks again.

Thanks for sharing, bud! Not a fan of that whole 'forced to look old' editing or the borders but still have a few nice ones in there. The one I quoted is by far my fave. When you post more in the future, might wanna do only 7-10 images per 'post' to help save loading times (and bandwidth) on those of us who are using mobile-wifi or tethering.

Cheers!

Thank You Suvlaco,

I am sorry but I did not like the boarders either, but I did like the pictures, thank you

Thanks for the comments everyone! I don't like the borders either but added them as they were done for my gf ;)

Also I know exactly what you mean about being slightly angled due to a lack of tripod... I was pretty lazy with them all.

I'm looking forward to going there again though and hopefully having more to post. Unfortunately I was only in Japan for 4 days this time ><

I may ask my g/f if I can upload some photos with her in them as they're much superior ;) (if just because of the content... her!).

No but he also mentioned he was in Osaka which has a MUCH lower population-density scale than Tokyo here.

In all fairness there are very few cities in the world that don't have a MUCH lower population-density than Tokyo but I think you made your point.

The light seemed perfect.. Here in Hollywood, we kill for soft lighting like that..

It makes the colors pop.. :grassdance:

Very basic sample from today's Tohoku Charity Calendar shoot. More to come...

Once we near completion, we will be taking orders. Estimated price will be 2000 yen per calendar with 70% of profits going to Tohoku (30% going to pay for expenses - without paying those, we'd not be able to raise funds!)

Also, that was the day for the graduation ceremony of the university that was just nearby, so everyone was either at that, or getting ready for it. Just near where i took these photos were all the girls getting all dressed up and so on.

Another sample image from the calendar shoot. We are still in the process of shooting it but with luck it will be ready for print in the next couple of months. We have an idea of the price being 2,000 yen, and again, the majority of the money from these is going to Tohoku Tsunami victim's family's so if you decide to buy one upon completion, you should at least know why they are a high-priced calendar.
