.: My Dream Hokkaido Trip Comes True! :.


Fantastic shots! Great job man =)
 

Triple wows! Hokkaido has never been on my wish-list, but now it is!

Beautiful pictures!
 

amazing series!!! i wish i could do F&E like you!!
envy you!!
 

Great series!
That 18-200 is in good hands :)
 

Outstanding. Wish I could go again...
 

Lovely photos. May I ask how do you take your panos - is it turning on a point or moving horizontally?

My pano can never look so nice :cry:
two200, it's turning on a point and stitched in Hugin. :)
 

great shots!! amazing place it is. I"m missing the place already!

I've been there in late Oct, some shots at www.reddotphoto.com.sg/hokkaido (best with >1200px + sound).

TS: do let me know if this is an intrusion of your thread and I'll remove the link.

Jon from RDP
 

right thanks! You did your own planning and booking of your sefldrive?

Yes, we did the planning ourselves (it was more of my wife doing all that planning via the Internet). And yes, we also booked at Mazda rental company in Sapporo (and we got a Nissan March instead of a Mazda car!!) and returned the same car in Kushiro :)

You can always do DIY - go off the usual track, plan with your loved ones or friends and take turns to drive. Enjoy the drive, the occasional detours (to new-found fun places along the way). Laugh when you missed a turn, eat good food and don't be afraid to shout "Oiishiiii!!!! ne" haha.. :)
 

Thanks for sharing, very nice :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
 

nice one bro !

totally impressed with the pictures....

make me wanna go to Hokkaido again....
to rekindle the good feelings.

btw,
wat gear did you bring along..?
seemed like there's wide, macro, fish eye.....

was it more of a holiday with your family, or a pure shooting trip...

a lot of places i've been there...
but your angle was simply brochure-like good !!

I only brought one lens - Nikon D90 +18-200m Nikon VR (old model), not the VR2 version. The fisheye like effect is due to the silver ball, not a lens effect :) It was a holiday with wife, I just take a little more time to capture scenery :)
 

Heya bro,
Wonderful set. Must learn more from you, see when you free then discuss with you after my work someday. I like the koi one.... too bad it's not featured in the calendar!

Haha.... Cos it's portrait and the calendar is landscape :)
 

such nostalgia ur thread brought up :)

# 15 Lake Toya promises great hues! Perhaps a little suggestion would be to try to level out the horizon, i understand there will be curve distortions on merging multiple shots, although in instances of some aspect of architecture it might actually enhance, but for water surfaces it might be less desirable.

# 30 somehow reminds me of the shot on one of Bryan Peterson's photog book cover :thumbsup:

# 63 in its simplicity, the light and shade is my favourite :) It has a certain chinese water painting composition to it.

# 64 looks with great potential, abit more red space if feasible gives more isolation to the beautiful tea/dessert setup.

many thanks for sharing!

Hi GiantCanopy!
Thanks for your inputs :thumbsup: Will take care about the horizons in future panoramic stitches.
For #64, not feasible cos the rest is the brown bench and the gravel floor.... :confused:

Loved this trip - I would like to go somewhere in the south of Japan in the next trip.
So far have covered the Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and Hokkaido regions, about time to go south... :)
