Still in Hakone

Pict 1:
The 2nd day morning, woke up at 6am, walked over to Motohakone for morning shoot. Bad weather, strong winds, low/dark clouds, overcast sky, rough waters.

Well, extreme weather makes for an interesting shoot, just more tedious. This was taken along the walk towards Hakone Shrine. Picked something with striking colours against the dull weather.

Pict 2:
On my way back to the hotel for breakfast, weather is still as bad (strong winds et al), the local folks are beginning their day. It was very surreal. Like I'm living in a Japanese movie. I couldn't help but capture this scene, which so depict the country life.









Pict 3:
We went back to Hakone Yumoto. Now the weather is calmer, but the sky is still overcast. Well lit, but dull. Tried to make the best of it by taking slow shutter/ motion blur images. This is of the main river in Hakone Yumoto.









Pict 4:
On the way towards the Hakone Shrine, walked through a forest. Many trees have growth on their trunks due to the moisture in the air.









Pict 5:
It was nearing sunset and we were on our way back, out of the forested area, facing Lake Ashi. There, a pirate cruise ship was ferrying passengers to and from MotoHakone-ko. Caught a shot of it before it disappeared into the mist.
