紅葉 RED

「嵐山の紅葉」

Vivid Red 

As you read in the previous post, this weekend I finally got to see the autumn leaves. We arrived at Arashiyama around 1:30 pm and spent time eating by the river, visiting shops, walking around, getting a bit lost, and just exploring the area. The weather was a bit chilly, but I came prepared with 6 layers of clothing. It was really really crowded, so many damn couples, families with children, and tons of tourists were walking around. I spent around four to five hours there but I didn't have enough time to take as many photos as I wanted to. I think I took less then 100 shots on my digital, and 30 shots on film (PROVIA400 VC) which I will develop and post up later. Here are a few I managed to take.  If you ever come to Kyoto please visit Arashiyama, it's located in the western part of Kyoto, and you can get there from Kyoto station via JR. The area is surrounded by slopes filled with trees and shrines. It is a amazing place to photograph if you enjoy being out in the nature. Anyways hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them.

I really love the different tones of warm colors you can find dring autumn.  red dark red yellow orange red .

I love seeing grandpa's photograph, just makes me wish I can keep shooting everyday until I turn into one.

Everybody rocking DSLR's
