stemik 14 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 really like the sake barrels shot........great photo for another tourist brochure. Keep them coming all summer Muika-san Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Thank you. Actually, there might not be any more trips before my summer holiday. We shall see. I have a lot of things to do before then, I don't really like the heat and the weather doesn't co-operate much at the moment So it might be September before I can continue my Japan travels. But I have a few places lined up for then and always adding more. Fun! Link to post Share on other sites
happyhappy 0 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Love your photos muikabochi, you should make a book. Nikko is a great place too. One of my favourites. Link to post Share on other sites

Yep - you walk past lots of bakajizo - with red hats on, get to see some stunningly clear water along the way as well. Will hunt out my pics on my pc, and post some up.

charlotte 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Brilliant! You are an inspiration not for the photos (I'm no good at photos!) but for getting out and about and visiting new places here. Keep it up! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Thanks for the comment happyhappy but I hardly think so. Trying to learn and get better though. It's simply for the fun and giggles, that's all. Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 You're much too modest! Learning technique is one thing, but having "the eye" for a good shot is something entirely different - and you already have it. Link to post Share on other sites

griller 9 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Michael Jackson!!!! I wish I could take pics like that. Mine always come out crappy and washed out. Oh well. I'm good at other things. Link to post Share on other sites
Myoko Guy 0 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 The highlight from our visit last year to Nikko was Tamozawa - the old imperial residence. Most people seem to flock around the temples however. There's a really awesome soba restaurant almost opposite too. These two pics are too big so will just put up links http://snowjapan/_X4DA0hI7j50/SHuOkavp1PI/AAAAAAAAARE/9NJjYvAGMMQ/SV101844.JPG http://snowjapan/_TVx4sXnvD58/ShG_xVK7oZI/AAAAAAAAC0s/CMn-bhJjAMQ/IMG_3177.jpg We also went to one of those 'old town' re-creations - Edo-mura. What a waste of time that was. There was also a closed down 'Western' theme park. Our driver said it used to be really popular until the bubble burst. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted July 7, 2009 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted July 7, 2009 Photos being too big will not be a reason for them not displaying using the tags. Did you not try uploading them to SJ, Myoko Guy? It's very easy and the system now resizes photos automatically. If you try and need any help please just let us know.

SnowJapan Moderator SnowJapan.Com#4 5 Posted July 28, 2009 SnowJapan Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hi snowjunky - you just need to be careful to put after the URL of the image. That URL will always end with .jpg or .JPG - if there's anything else after that it needs to disappear. Hope that helps. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 thank you sj4 - what did I do wrong? Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Moderator SnowJapan.Com#4 5 Posted July 28, 2009 SnowJapan Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2009 There was some stuff after the end of the URL, like ? and some numbers. Not sure where they were coming from, but they needed to be taken off. If you ever have any problems just give one of us a shout. Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thanks for sharing snowjunky. It doesn't looks busy at all when you went. Is that the Chuzenjiko waterfall taken from above then? We are seriously considering putting Nikko on our plans. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Ta Bag Yes it was quiet, being winter and all. We tagged the trip on at the end of a couple of weeks ski time. Actually did it as a long day trip out of Tokyo though spending an overnighter in Nikko would be better. Plenty of reasonably priced ryokan around at that time of year. The waterfall is Kegon Falls just 300 metres from the main street of Chuzenji Onsen. My waterfall pic is quite a contrast to Muikabochi's summer shots earlier in this thread - both in content & photographic quality (I suspect Muika's gear is a lot more sophisticated than my point & shoot Fujifilm). And yes it was taken from the top viewing platform. Friggin cold up there! Another Chuzenji main street highlight was watching the urban monkeys wrestling with tourists & their plastic shopping bags. With the history, temples, shrines, lake & general scenery it is worth adding to your plans if you can Link to post Share on other sites
