I'm still learning myself! :DKaorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495830655043821533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319339803753927098.post-2537346628360659892015-04-17T12:22:36.253+09:002015-04-17T12:22:36.253+09:00You really know how to wield a camera.
The gradat...You really know how to wield a camera.<br /><br />The gradations of blue in the top photo.<br /><br />In the second photo, the silken sheen of the silvered sky blue not where we would expect it to be, in the sky, but reflected dreamily on the flowing river surface.<br /><br />Maybe it’s the bottom half of the third photo, the angle of the railing mirrored in the branches just above, the way the blossoms’ focus falls away in a kind of blur there like a veritable <i>shinkansen</i> of cherry blossoms whizzing past.<br /><br />The fourth: Like a wave of cherry blossoms crashing on the shore of Kanda River spuming foam of pure sunlight on the right bank.<br /><br />The fifth: The silversmith filigree of ground upon which the cherry blossoms emerge.<br /><br />Sixth: The darkness of the blossoms at the top seem to shade my eyes from the too-bright lightness. Contrasted with the Eighth: One step back and the brightness lightens our spirits in a joy of being alive.<br /><br />Seven: The geen emerging leaves like the first hesitant movements of a hand contemplating raising in a gesture of farewell.<br /><br />Nine (a): Far focus. Ten: Near focus.<br /><br />Nine (b): Not just reaching out and touching but emerging and becoming one another.<br /><br />Eleven: The globes of blossoms in shadow, large and detailed for being nearer, contrasted with the sun-bright backdrop of glowing petals.<br /><br />The bottom: Like separate fishers of the sky comparing two completely different catches by opening their nets and casting one on top of the other.<br />Tall Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130518604439054014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319339803753927098.post-90487751769349974362015-04-16T05:53:47.536+09:002015-04-16T05:53:47.536+09:00Oh.
