A photo weekend

Last weekend (11-12Apr) was spent shooting photos. A walkabout lens is most useful for amateurs and weekend candid and general photography.

Above shot is an interesting combi, orange heels and mesh stockings. What a combination. Even dogs are 'fashionably" dressed in Japan...Fashion is a very individual thing. Some like it hot, others....

Below is a traffic warden at Motomachi in Yokohama, holding her "light sabre" and whistle. She stops pedestrian traffic using both, whenever a car needs to cut across the pedestrian street, which I estimated was about once every 10minutes. Not a bad job compared to in Bangkok.

The above were shot with the trusty old Olympus 50-200mm walkabout zoom, which gave me an effective range of 100-400mm equivalent field of vision.

Now on to Nikon, my new telephoto 300mm zoom.

First photo was sunset over Kawasaki skyline. Then an Oriental Turtle Dove in Tokyo Port Bird Reserve.

Last but certainly not least is Chloe at the Bird Reserve.
