Pingo,

Many thanks for your comments. These images were post processed individually to achieve that signature effect. I’m glad the magic of Japan came across to you in my work. I shoot with the EOS 20D and on this trip I brought two lenses: EF 24-70mm and EF 10-22mm p.p. all my work using Paint Shop Pro. I make no secret of the tools I use in my work, everything else is down to personal preference.

Thanks for taking me to Japan with you….I loved every moment of it. You’ve managed to capture every minute detail of your experience, that most people (like me) take for granted.

Thanks for sharing.

Hello! I saw your shots on cs (JAPAN trip) … very nice!

I must say I was blown away by how realistic yet surreal the photos seem to be! It feels almost magical.

Mind sharing what camera/lens/post-processing-software did you use for these shots? Id absolutely love to be able to achieve that kind of effect photographically.

Cheers!

Hi Matt, the EF10-22 is an amazing lens. I knew it would be a good investment but hadn’t realized just how good it has turned out to be. Why do I like it so much? UltraWide lenses have a natural optical tendendy to distort reality so in many ways, it’s the “wrong” lens for people and the “right” lens for objects and landscape, so they say. I am a non-conformist in all aspects of the trade and I like how the EF10-22 distorts the reality our eyes see and produces art that our eyes do not see.

Welcome back, Jan! Wow, your pictures of Japan look so yummy and larger than life – I feel as if I’m there with you all! I’m definitely investing in a good camera, after I get my mansion.

Hi Jan,

Absolutely breath-taking images you took while there. Your work is truly inspiring, but I’m afraid it might put me in the poor house; it puts thoughts of distant travel and buying a 10-22mm lens in my mind >.
