Kyoto’s Amazing Haradanien Garden, Part 4
Today's post is part four on the Haradanien Garden (原谷苑) in north-western Kyoto (prior parts: one, two, three, and a bonus couple photo shoot). Today's simple post includes three more wigglegrams, adding to those in part three and my first post from the garden. div#dSJd0AA img { width:442px; height:690px; visibility:hidden; position:absolute; top:0; left:0 } Another [...]

Kyoto’s Amazing Haradanien Garden, Part 3
This post is a continuation earlier parts of "Kyoto’s Amazing Haradanien Garden", where in part one I introduced the location, and in part two I explained how it's wonderful even though it's quite crowded. Folks wanting a couple shot would usually ask someone walking by to take it, but the couple above use a timer. [...]

A Wigglegram from Kyoto’s Stunning Haradanien Forest Garden of Blossoms
I made my first visit the other day to the Haradanien Garden (原谷苑) in northwest of Kyoto, a few kilometers into the mountains beyond Kinkakuji ("the Golden Pavilion"). It was, without question, the most amazing place to see blossoms (cherry and others) that I'd ever been, by orders of magnitude. "Stunning", "Awesome", and other overused [...]

A Wigglegram from the Well-Named “Fallen Leaf Shrine” in Northern Kyoto
Here's a wigglegram (which I hereby dub in Japanese as「クネクネ写真」) from an outing a few days ago to the "Fallen Leaf Shrine" (岩戸落葉神社) in the mountains north of Kyoto. That's at the same place as my first try at the whole "stereo photo" thing earlier this month, a vist first seen in "A Slightly Early [...]

That Amazing Entrance Path of Kyoto Koutouin Temple
I stopped by the Koutouin Temple the other day, in the Daitokuji complex in north-central Kyoto. It wasn't quite peak of its fall-foliage colors, but it was quite. (I stopped by two years ago at a time when it was at the peak of color and it's quite nice then as well.) One of my [...]

Another Pair of Lovely Ladies in Kimono, Another Wigglegram
I've been down with a cold since my previous post the other day, of another pair of lovely ladies in kimono. That post (like this post) came from a creative, productive outing with Paul Barr, but I'm somewhat dreading the 70 gigabytes of data awaiting me. I did find enough energy today to prepare this [...]

Elegance in Kyoto’s Tenjyuan Garden
I shot more than 3,500 frames today -- 70 gigabytes of raw data -- for about 470 potential wigglegrams. Above is one. These two ladies from Osaka had wonderful kimono and wonderful smiles. I didn't want to impose on them much, so set up the shot and took it within seconds; despite the rush, I'm [...]

My Camera is Exhausted
My camera is exhausted, and now that I think about it, so am I. Today I took 3,568 photos (70 gigabytes worth) because trying to make Wigglegrams at pretty temples in Kyoto. It was both addicting and exhausting. Now the stress moves to my laptop and Lightroom, which will certainly groan under so many new [...]

Beyond Shouzan’s Main Garden (Including a Wigglegram)
This post continues the story started in "A Somewhat Lackluster Day of Photography at Kyoto’s Shouzan Resort", last touched upon yesterday with a bunch of wigglegrams from the garden. The only other time I came (as seen two years ago in "Photo Shoot Among the Fall Colors at Shouzan"), I hadn't realized that it was [...]

A Few More Initial Wigglegram Attempts
This post contains more "Wigglegrams" made from photos I took on the same outing to Kyoto's Shouzan Resort (しょうざん) as the Wigglegram I posted the other day. Having been made the same time as the previous one, these are not a refinement on the concept, but simply other attempts, some better, some worse. The first [...]

A “Wigglegram” From The Garden at Kyoto’s Shouzan Resort
So, this is the next evolution of my attempt at what Wikipedia calls "wiggle stereoscopy", but I hereby dub "Wigglegram". (Update: I now have a wigglegram category on my blog to collect related posts.) My first rough attempt was posted the other day as a two-frame animate GIF. This time I've brought the animation control [...]

Annoying or Interesting? “Special” Photos From the Iwato Ochiba Shrine
I mentioned in my previous post that I'm not generally a fan of the wide-angle lens, so I find the photo above somewhat annoying, but also somewhat attractive. I can't decide. The next two items likely fall into the same category for many folks.... two-frame animated GIFs that give a "3D viewer" feeling, like those [...]
