The other day I posted<\/span>\nthe first photo above<\/a> as one of my “What am I?”\nquizzes<\/a>. The second<\/span> photo shows the same view, but with a smaller<\/span>\naperture and the focus on the foreground.<\/p>\n\n

Here's the view from the front:<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a>\nNikon D700 + Voigtl\u00e4nder 125mm f\/2.5 — 1<\/sup>\/<\/big>320 sec, f<\/span>\/5.6, ISO 1800 —\nmap & image data<\/a> — nearby photos<\/a><\/span>\nView from the Front<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n

I posed the quiz as being a simple one to anyone familiar with the\nInternet because all one had to do was click on the “nearby photos” link\nunder the photo (as I have<\/span> under almost all photos I post<\/span>) to find out<\/a>\nthat I had<\/span> previously blogged a post<\/span> titled “A Bazillion<\/span>\nOffering Statuettes at the Sanzen-in Temple<\/a>”, showing photos of\nthe statuettes in the immediate vicinity of the quiz photo.<\/p>\n\n

I lead that older post with a shot similar to this:<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>\nNikon D700 + Voigtl\u00e4nder 125mm f\/2.5 — 1<\/sup>\/<\/big>320 sec, f<\/span>\/2.5, ISO 500 —\nmap & image data<\/a> — nearby photos<\/a><\/span>\nVery Isolated<\/span>\n
Desktop-Background Versions<\/b>\n\n\nStandard: 1024×<\/span>768<\/a>  ·  1440×<\/span>1080<\/a>  ·  1600×<\/span>1200<\/a><\/small>     <\/span>\nWidescreen:  1280×<\/span>800<\/a>  ·  1680×<\/span>1050<\/a>  ·  1920×<\/span>1200<\/a>  ·  2560×<\/span>1600<\/a><\/small><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Except that this time they were bathed in the warm glow of the setting\nsun, and I used<\/span> my true-macro Voigtl\u00e4nder 125mm f\/2.5<\/a>\nto isolate the point-of-focus statue even further. It's not my<\/span> normal desktop-background\nfare<\/a>, but I thought<\/span> I'd give it a try<\/span> and offer desktop-background\nsizes as well.<\/p>\n\n

The mostly-creamy nature of the version above might work okay for a desktop<\/span> background, but as a photo<\/span> I think<\/span> it's a bit<\/span> too unbalanced, so\nfor, er, balance, here's one with a wider<\/span> depth of field...<\/p>\n\n

There were a lot of statuettes...<\/p>\n\n

Really a lot...<\/p>\n\n

More over here...<\/p>\n\n

So there are just over 15,000 of them with labels, but there were racks and racks of unlabeled ones as well, waiting, I suppose,<\/span> for sponsors.<\/p>\n\n

Some were off-colored and dusty...<\/p>\n\n

Some were adorned with ornaments...<\/p>\n\n

This is all just one display shoved in the corner of a far<\/span>-flung area of\na huge<\/span> temple complex, but it's visually interesting so it seems to catch\nmy eye each time.<\/p>\n\n

Of course, with a visit in autumn, the fall colors are the main attraction. In keeping<\/span> with yesterday's post about yesterday's visit to the Yoshiminedera Temple<\/a>\nwhere I showed<\/span> the first photo I took<\/span> that day, here's the first photo I took<\/span> during last week's trip to the Sanzen'in Temple (where I later<\/span> took\nall the shots shown above)...<\/p>\n\n

I've provided desktop-background sizes for three photos on this post,\nbut it's this last one that I'm most looking forward to using myself. I've\nbeen posting a lot<\/span> of these lately... it's just such a photogenic<\/span> time to\nbe in Kyoto.<\/p>\n\n

The other day I posted the first photo above as one of my \"What am I?\" quizzes. The second photo shows the same view, but with a smaller aperture and the focus on the foreground.<\/p>

Here's the view from the front:<\/p>

I posed the quiz as being a simple one to anyone familiar with the Internet because all one had to do was click on the \"nearby photos\" link under the photo (as I have under almost all photos I post) to find out that I had previously blogged a post titled \"A Bazillion Offering Statuettes at the Sanzen-in Temple\", [...]","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,14,1,2,6,10],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/regex.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/regex.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/regex.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/regex.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/regex.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/regex.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1666\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/regex.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/regex.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/regex.info\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
