Well, I arrived here on Friday evening and pretty much went to the hotel and to sleep in Tokyo.

Woke up on Sat. morning to find there`s a typhoon on the way.....great (and it`s raining when I look out the window)

I did venture out with the camera (though my brother ended up borrowing it for pretty much the whole day)

Went to Ueno park and zoo (pretty much a bust all round as it was raining most of the animals were hiding away out of the rain).

The Shinkan-sen (bullet train) is currently suspended so I`ll have to wait till later this evening to go to Osaka.....so Tokyo was a bit disappointing this time due to bad weather.

On the plus side the weather in Osaka is supposed to be good, so hopefully can get some decent pics.


Oh and i picked up a 70-200 F2.8L IS lens yesterday :D for the grand sum of 19,3000 yen (£778) :woot:
 
Saw typhoon report on Euronews last night, lots of damage.
 
Hope things start looking up for you soon. It would be a shame to go all that way and not get any good shots.
 
Congrats on the purchase ... hope you get to use it out there!

Look out for some colourful Maiko & Geisha ... I need some inspiration ;)

Hope the weather improves some for you.
 
hope the weather improves for you mate. Did you pick up my complimentary 24mm f/1.4?;)

/thumbs through yellow pages for HMRC........ :D
 
Hope the weather improves for you :) , just seen on the news about an earthquake in the north of Japan, its all happening.
 
Well it's been fun while I was out there, was shorter than I would have liked.

A couple of preview images while I sort through them all.......

Didn't take any pics in Tokyo as ******* it down would have been putting it mildly while I was there.

Got loads in Osaka though :) (oh and a 70-200 is wayyy too short for a baseball game :bang: )

I'll get a few more up when I've been through the lot
 
:eek:

Looks a bit like you guys were nearly in a low orbit there!

:lol:

Pity your trip was not as enjoyable as it could have been!
 
ROFL! :lol: What sort of plane were you in!?

I really like that Kendo shot. ;)
