Photo prise dans l'un des 150 temples que j'ai eu la chance de visiter au Japon. Ils sont vraiment forts pour les temples :-) Ceci est ma photo pour le challenge PhotoFriday de la semaine.

This was taken at one of the 150 temple I’ve visited during my trip to Japan. Japanese are really good for temple. I never got tired of them !! This is my entry for this week PhotoFriday’s challenge: Road

Nous aimons tous les belles choses et on pourrait passer des heures a s'emerveiller devant nos vieux amis ... Voila le plus vieux, pris avec le plus jeune (Canon 350D). Ils sont tous les deux utilises de facon reguliere. Vous avez reconnu un Leica IIIf, mollette rouge (!) et retardateur et son fidele Elmar 50mm f/2.5. Le livre est de Salgado.

Let’s face it: We all like nice craftsmanship and we could spend hours looking at our old friends Well, this is the oldest taken with the youngest (Canon 350D). They both see the sun equally. You had recognized the Leica IIIf red-dial and self-timer with a trusted Elmar 50mm f/2.5. The book is one from Salgado …

J'ai recu mon Oktomat la semaine derniere et j'ai grille une peloche ce week-end. Voila la meilleure ... Il va me falloir un peu de temps pour maitriser la bete quand meme :-)

I’ve just received my new Oktomat and ran a roll this week-end to see what kind of crazy stuff I could do with it. Well, I need to work on that as I still don’t know what I’m doing with this thing ! … Here is the best one of the lot.

Un chemin a Tokyo ... Il va la ou vous voulez qu'il aille ...

Some path in Tokyo … Leading wherever you want it to go …

La photographie, c'est pas compliquee ... Un joli modele (Ok, je suis pas super objectif sur le coup ...), un accessoire sympa (difficile de se tromper avec un guitare) et surtout: de la lumiere. Une lumiere venant d'une fenetre ferra des miracles.

Photography shouldn’t be complicated. A nice model (Ok, I might not be very subjective here … ), a nice prop (Can’t go wrong with a guitar) and the most important thing: Light. Light coming from a window will definitely do wonder.

Apparement les Japonais sont de grands pecheurs vu le nombre de fontaine de purification qu'il y a !! En voici une parmi une multitude.

By the number of purify fountain in Japan, I’d guess that Japanese are big sinners. There are fountains where you can get purified at every corner !!

Un bassin magique a Kyoto. Oui oui, magique ! J'attends toujours que mon voeux se realise ...

A pond in Kyoto, Japan. Yes, I threw a coin. Still waiting for the wish to come true !

Le pavillon dore a Kyoto ! Je suis en train de scanner mes dernieres photos du Japon !

Haaaa .. a bit of history on 400iso !! Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion) is a Zen temple formally known as Rokuonji. In 1397 construction started on the Golden Pavilion as part of a new residence for the retired shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. Kinkakuji was converted into a Zen temple after Yoshimitsu’s death in 1408. The Golden Pavilion functions as shariden, housing sacred relics of the Buddha and is covered in gold leaf. The present building dates from 1955 as the pavilion was burnt by a fanatic monk in 1950.
This picture was taken during my 2005 trip to Japan. I’m scanning my last color prints !
