Japan part 1 (image heavy)

My wife and I went to Japan back in June and had an incredible time exploring this fantastic and beautiful country. I posted a thread of the film pictures I took there (https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/pentax-mx-in-japan-59461) and now that I've finished processing the digital ones, I thought I'd post some favourites.

You can see everything in these two Flickr albums:

For anyone thinking of going, I thoroughly recommend it. These were all taken with the K3 and most with the DA limiteds - 15, 21 and 35mm but also some with the 18-55 WR and the A 28mm f/2.8, though I had a couple of other lenses I used occasionally. Changing lenses was a chore but I enjoy using primes and am glad a took the DA limiteds rather than the Tamron 17-50mm on this occasion.

All images from the city of Kyoto and surrounding areas, including Osaka, Nara and Himeiji.

Comments and feedback very welcome.

What a great opportunity! Some interesting 'off-beat' images in there.My favourites are the red colonnade walkway with the shadow patterns, the rake on the grass (!) and the last one; great choice of dof

8802 and 9138 I really really liked

9612 I like the juxtaposition as on my computer before you see the base of the image it's all very oldie worldie and then you get to the base and see the lady in the tan boots and the man in the red shorts
