Fireworks at Yokohama!

花火!

Went to a HUGE fireworks festival in Yokohama with Rob and some of his colleagues. Japanese fireworks are impressive! Some of them even defy gravity and just float in the sky for a while! Very High-tech!

Took quite a few photos of the fireworks, but they didn’t turn out very good…

Lesson learned: to take good fireworks photos, must include the surroundings in the picture composition. It’s not so much the fireworks, but the atmosphere and cool lighting effect the fireworks make on the environment. Duh.

Cheers!

Went to Thai Izakaya in Shinjuku with Byrd & Satomi.

Soft-shell Crab!!!

Nice bokeh blur on that picture!
Because I just bought a new lens for my Canon Digital Rebel XT! ^^

Very cheap but high-performance EF50mm f/1.8 II.

Byrd took this photo. Cool effect!
Intended or not… ^^p

After the Thai Izakaya, we all went to Karaoke followed by Clubbing with Ann-chan & friends and partied till morning! *Phew…

Went to Wireless Japan Show!
Lots of new cool technology!
Lots of new cool phones and gadgets and stuff!

And of course, the cute campaign girls!
No, I didn’t bring my New Big Camera to take photos of them like so many other fans of the campaign girls.

But I did take a photo of the girls with my phone!

Look at that outfit. Wow. ^^

Maybe I really should bring my New Big Camera next time. ^^p
