August and September are the seasons of festivals (although I am starting to think that every weekend has some type of festival). A few weeks ago we were told that we will get a great view of the Jingu Gaien fireworks. It was one of the longest and best fireworks spectacles I have every watched.

It was fun to shoot … I have never shot fireworks before and played with the different settings. I was using my Canon 5D Mark III and a 70-200mm f/2.8.

A few more – the sky kept changing color.

I can only imagine the view on the one side of that apartment building.

An ode to Tokyo’s Olympic bid.

A few more …. I was starting to get the hang of it.

Spectacular view.
