Someone was shooting some movie scenes outside our window for hours\ntoday. That's the biggest hubbub our sleepy little town of Kyoto has seen\nsince a Presidential<\/span>\nvisit<\/a> in 2005, and part of the G8 Summit<\/a> earlier in\nthe summer, so I snapped<\/span> a few<\/span> shots, all from my livingroom window.<\/p>\n\n

They were there for a long time... at least the six hours that I noticed<\/span>\nthem. They spent the most time on the shot on the bridge, coming back to it\nagain and again over the course of the day. The two shots<\/span> above look like\nessentially the same scene, but they were taken an hour apart.<\/p>\n\n

I had occasion to bring Anthony to the doctor for a fever,<\/span> and when\npassing by, I asked<\/span> the bored-looking sound guy what the shoot was. “A\nmovie<\/span> about a maiko<\/i>” (apprentice geisha).<\/p>\n\n

During the day, they shot a few other scenes, but also spent a lot<\/span> of time sitting\naround doing nothing...<\/p>\n\n\n

The most time seemed to have been spent on a scene<\/span> in which a\nhigh<\/span>-school kid with a yellow<\/span> backpack walked up, sucking on a\nfudgesicle.<\/span>..<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>\nNikon D700 + 70-200mm f\/2.8 + 1.7× Extender @ 175 mm — 1<\/sup>\/<\/big>640 sec, f<\/span>\/7.1, ISO 1100 —\nmap & image data<\/a> — nearby photos<\/a><\/span>\n“Greetings, Mr. Fudgesicle-san”<\/span>\n<\/div>\n\n

They did this scene over and over, during the course of several hours. It was a<\/span> hot day, and the supply of fudgesicles kept melting and dripping\nall over the actor's hand...<\/p>\n\n

This is the first time I've had occasion to post pictures of the little\nstream that runs by our place since the condo across the way redid their\nwall. As you can<\/span> see in the background of the photos above, the wall along the path\nis wonderful, tastefully blending in with its surroundings in a subtle,<\/span> very Japanese way.<\/p>\n\n

I really like it, and appreciate that they spent their time and money on\nsomething they don't even see from their own places.<\/p>\n\n

It used to be an ugly cinderblock eyesore, all the more unsightly\nbecause each spring it was the background for the explosion of cherry\nblossoms<\/a> that erupted from the trees overhanging the path and river. You can see<\/span> both the cherry blossoms and the ugly wall in some earlier posts:\n\nLong Night Exposures and Cherry Blossoms<\/a>\n  ·  \nGetting Started With Cherry-Blossom Pictures<\/a>\n  ·  \nCherry-Blossom Full Bloom Hits Kyoto<\/a>\n  ·  \nPictures of People Taking Cherry-Blossom Pictures<\/a>\n  ·  \nEnjoying the Cherry Blossoms<\/a>\n  ·  \nIndeed, the blooms have bloomed in Kyoto<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
