Cold Cold Rain


Hi friends! How are you?

It's been raining a lot here in Shinjuku. I like rain in the summer but not this cold rain in the winter. It has me shivering every time I step outside.

I'll be posting a couple of black and white photos this week because everything looks kind of blah in color. Hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

  2. WOW! This is an iconic image. I am so glad that you converted it to black and white. I love the group of umbrellas in the foreground and how the buildings disappear into the misty sky. This is lovely and moody and takes you to that moment and keeps you there. Wonderful!

  4. @Rurousha, yes you are the first to comment! I never had the black and white option on my camera before so I'm having a field day with my new one! ;D

    @Rachel, my camera actually has a B&W effects option...which I'm loving right now! I could never get a good umbrella shot in color before but it looks pretty good in B&W :D

    @Birdman, well I love the rain now that I'm not outside! haha.

  5. What a great image Kaori, the tops of the buildings disappearing into the rain clouds looks amazing! It won't be too long before Spring and then Summer again, stay happy!

  6. I love the way the buildings disappear into the clouds, they look like they go up forever. And the crowd in the foreground adds humanity. This is a perfect city shot!

  14. Yes, it looks very cold and grey.
    BUT I have never been to a country with so many beautiful and different umbrellas:)

  15. I love this. The straight uniform lines of the buildings, the collection of umbrellas at the bottom of the image...and the capture of "waiting." Nicely done!
