Blue Hour

I’m nothing if not excited by rich colors, and of course the blue hour (not even a full hour, really) just after sunset delivers. This church is just atop the hill in Shimla, which seems out of place until you realize that Shimla is a British hill station in the Himalayas, and was the British summer capital of India. Who wants to stay in Delhi May through September?

Megane-bashi

This photo of the famous “Spectacles bridge” (that’s what megane-bashi means) in Nagasaki represents everything I’m trying to “do” with my photography — that is, capture decent night scenes where the light is rich and colorful. I lack a decent tripod and a cable release, but I try to make do.
