This 1 very nice !!!

i noticed ur food shots too, but did u do any PS editing on it ?? some looks a bit unnatural. but overall very nice and brillant colors

thanks Ramius

yup colours have all been processed, the food shots were all done under yellow flourescent light, so i shot them in raw for colour correction. do tell me if there's any strange colour tint, quite some work just to get the colours 'back,' thanks!

hi eikin, thanks for sharing.

i am heading to tokyo next week. hakone is on my itinerary..seems a very good place to take pic and makan angin as well.

try to go on a weekday, as for the Moritsuke it comes with guesthouse/hotel booking, do browse through the various pamphlets available at travel agencies (usually conveniently located at the train stations)

bro eikin,

these are really swee swee travelogue!

Regards,
tltan

thanks bro

yah get the free pass, 1 day is quite enough to cover the rides in Hakone, but might not be enough if you want to visit the various museums. btw the Lake Ashi side of the cable car ride is closed for renovation.

Mt. Fuji is 'closed' now (can't go climbing) so best go somewhere with a nice view of it instead. maybe Kawaguchiko? weather's good these couple of days, quite rare for october, enjoy yourself

Beautiful photos from you as usual. :thumbsup:

But some shots had lens flare which were a slight distraction. But just a minor quibble nothing to worry about. You used a zoom with a large front element I presume.
