Best view in large , from Sapporo TV Tower
Sapporo Snow Festival one of Japan's largest winter events, attracts a growing number of visitors from Japan and abroad every year.
Every winter, about two million people come to Sapporo to see the hundreds of beautiful snow statues and ice sculptures which line Odori Park,the grounds at Satoland, and the main street in Susukino.
For seven days in February,these statues and sculptures(both large and small) turn Sapporo into a winter dreamland of crystal-like ice and white snow.
The Snow Festival began in 1950, when local high school students built six snow statues in Odori Park. in 1955, the Self-Defense Force joined in and built the very first massive snow sculpture, for which the Snow Festival has become famous for now. The Festival has grown from these humble beginnings to become one of the biggest and most well known of Hokkaido's winter events.
The Snow Festival is considered to be a festival of international-caliber.

It was 2005 my honeymoon, I remember this shot was difficult because I could not use tropod and a cloud of people around me. The most difficult was need to put the len on the window (due to reflection on window or flash from other cameras).

Des Voeux Road bus stop
Sitting in the bus and point the len on the window; bus stop and shot. It is not bad because I haven't snapshot like this long long time.
So lucky to get this bus stop in quiet. Close up is not much people there.
No crop in the picture and the bus stop is just in the perfect middle.

Go to Sapporo
The light that moment was exactly what you see. Thru this raw picture, I was impressive in some way the Digilux 2 the exposure metering. With 1/60sec f/2.0 ISO100. This is so quick snapshot the reason as you see this train was ready to go and my wife called me back to train.
Shot at underground of the New Chitose Airport, my wife and I finally found the train to Sapporo.

New Chitose Airport
It was the day I left the airplane and walk to New Chitose Airport and I found the blue sky with almost dark blue on the ground. It may be because of after the big snow and water clean up with reflection come up this chemistry. I think one of our human big discovery is airplane...so we can flying and save time travel around this beautiful world..
Light
My intention to this shot at the beginning was capture the shadow more than light. At the end, it comes up such I feel comfortable light with half spot on right. I will not intent to do any adjustment because it is the light all about! The buidling now is only background and light is object.

Pig waiter
I remembered that night my wife and I just like that traveler couple so hungry at lower temperature night in Kabukicho.
We found this Japanese noodle restaurant and the pig waiter just like standing there and asked me: "You must be hungry, we have great noodle, come and we show you, you will love it". If you get close up, you will find how those characters relationship and the guy was making noodle .
In fact, they have great noodle, but perhaps that moment I was so hungry.
I really enjoy these restaruant style which kept the traditional Japanese culture and of course the quality of noodle was wonderful.
This shot was handhold with 1/60sec, f/2.0, 28mm wide open, ISO100 only! I really appreicate this Digilux 2 even though no len change but how quickly Digilux 2 gave me all those setting at that moment I could still remember.
