Paul Barr arrived in Kyoto last night for the fall-foliage season, and\nso today for our first outing we made a return<\/span> trip to the aptly-named\nOchiba Jinja (\u843d\u8449\u795e\u793e),<\/span> meaning “fallen-leaf shrine”. This is\nmy (our) second trip, the first having been documented two years ago in\n“Carpet\nof Yellow Deep in the Mountains of North-West Kyoto<\/a>”.<\/p>\n\n

The first trip had been on a Dec 2, two weeks later in the season than our\ntrip today, so most of the leaves that time had already fallen; this time\nmost were still on the trees, and the color hadn't even fully turned. We'll\nhave to pay another visit next week.<\/p>\n\n

Still, it was nice.<\/p>\n\n

I'm not a big fan of wide-angle lenses, but I brought<\/span> the 14-24mm zoom\nalong on this trip and forced myself to give it a try.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Mostly I didn<\/span>'t care for the results with the wide-angle lens, but I'm\nin a silly<\/span> mood this evening while looking them over, so here are a few<\/span>\nshots with some pretty-far-out stylized processing...<\/p>\n\n

I eventually got rid of the 14-24mm and moved to my favorite lens, the\nVoigtl\u00e4nder 125mm<\/a>,\nwhich quickly found a moss<\/span>-covered rock strewn with leaves and such...<\/p>\n\n\n

I've still got plenty more photos to go through, mostly with the\nVoigtl\u00e4nder and a 50mm,<\/span> but for the most part I didn<\/span>'t feel too\nphotographically inspired on this trip (though the visit was quite\nenjoyable in its own right). I think<\/span> part of the problem is that I just<\/span>\ndidn't have good enough equipment to take advantage of the situation.\nOthers came better prepared...<\/p>\n\n
