About Just look at that table, will you? And the crowds... When groups from the same office want to party in the evening, the latest recruits are sent off early to stake out their claim to an area and keep watch over it until everyone can get there. No overtime on cherry blossom party day! This was fairly late in the evening, which is responsible for the rather peculiar light... I played with the saturation but can't get it looking "natural."

Glad you liked it, Jessie. Were your cherry blossom parties in Japan? (It sounds like it.) If so, you'll know that contemplating nature often takes second place to enjoying the fruits of nature (specially the grape, malt and rice--and their derivatives!).

love this shot! i, too, have experienced cherry blossom viewing parties. i never thought so many people could crowd in to 'enjoy' nature.

If you ever come to Japan again, try to do so in the cherry blossom season. If you can, it will be a pleasure to take you to this place and enjoy the good food together, and maybe take some photos! (No fried bananas, though...) But to answer your quesstion, no, I didn't use the stereo pair. It is so heavy and awkward that I have to feel in the right mood... usually I just pick up my Bessaflex or the Fuji TX-1 panorama camera.

Good clarity and depth, did you use the stereo system you telling me about...
To dine under the sakura must be different, they seem to crowd the place and looks like they've enjoyed the food, little leftovers on the table left. After looking at the table, I am craving now for some japanese food...
good capture of the everyday life in Japan, it doesn't look evening with the sakura well lighted. Nice shot Roger...
regards...

Wow! Real nature lovers well-captured. Somehow the irony reminds me of earth day in some U.S. cities. Good work.
