Rain season, we call it Tsuyu 梅雨 in Japanese, is going to over here in Osaka. We have some rainy, cloudy and sunny days recently. Right after rain season we will have long sunny, hot and sweaty summer. I really miss blue and clear sky with cumulonimbi. Anyway, let's go for Osaka and Kobe weather this week.
@Suma beach in Kobe at 14:15 on July 19, 2009: Ricoh GRD2 (Program AE / f/8.0, 1/1000, ISO80 / -0.3EV)
They are all my friends. We set DJ booth at the beach and enjoyed good music, alcohol and sea bathing :)
@Suma beach in Kobe at 14:35 on July 19, 2009: Ricoh GRD2 (Program AE / f/8.0, 1/1000, ISO80 / -0.3EV)
Just before getting BAR LOVE:S at 18:44 on July 21, 2009: Ricoh GRD2 (Program AE / f/4.0, 1/200, ISO80 / -0.3EV)
You can find the nameboard "BAR LOVE:S" in left side. It was cloudy.
Just after leaving BAR LOVE:S at 19:30 on July 21, 2009: Ricoh GRD2 (Program AE / f/2.4, 0.3, ISO80 / -0.3EV)
My stay at BAR LOVE:S was 46min. because I liked to take photo of sky for the photo quest. It was still cloudy but sky changed it color in blue. We had a heavy rain in the night.
A partial eclipse of the sun at 11:12 on July 22, 2009: Ricoh GRD2 (Program AE / f/6.3, 1/640, ISO80 / -0.3EV)
This is the main dish for the photo quest. I enjoyed a partial eclipse of the sun today. It was heavy cloudy and sometimes rainy but, fortunately, I was able to enjoy the natural phenomenon through cloud with the naked eye! Wow!
Through the period of this photo quest, I learned "patience" and "one more shot."
