Lurie Garden North 3

Historic spots, Modern architecture, Scenic beauty, I don't care.
I've been to Korea to take pictures of them and it was awesome than I thought.so I want to try another one in Northeast Asia. the decision is Japan.:) Please let me know some fantastic specific places!
Every corner of the country.


Kinkakuji (Kyoto, Japan)
Himeiji Castle (Himeiji, Japan)
Tokyo Tower (best to go at night)
Todaiji Temple (Nara, Japan)

Those are the ones I can think of at the moment, for more ideas check out my blog (in my profile) as I am currently travelling in Japan.

What camera lenses should I take for traveling (Nikon user)?

I'm heading to Asia for 3 months - can anyone recommend a good mix of lenses to take for my Nikon DSLR? I like to shoot pretty much anything - landscapes, architecture (old and modern), candid portraits, photojournalism-style shots in public places, night photos...

So far my mix includes the kit lens (17 - 55mm), a 50mm f1.4, and possibly a Sigma 10-20mm for wide angles. I don't really want to take more than two lenses, though, because I am hoping to store all of my gear in a small inconspicuous shoulder bag that doesn't scream "steal me". So I'm thinking of leaving the kit lens at home, even though I am used to using it as a default in just about any situation. Am I going to miss the range it offers, or will the 10-20mm work as a default lens?


I don't do digital, so can't offer any specific recommendations.

With that in mind, were I you, I would likely take the 10-22 and 50mm 1.4. I personally love wide angles, as well as low-light shots, which is why those two would be my choice. I will often go out with only a 20mm or 24mm on my film cameras, and if I had such a lens as you had, it would probably be one of my favorites.

My other inclination would probably be to pick up the 18-200 VR, if you can find one, and take that along with the 10-22. The 18-200 seems to get great reviews for what it is, and these two lenses would certainly cover you well.

Your 50mm is small enough, though, that I would personally take it along regardless of what other lenses I took. Most of the time, you'll hardly know you're carrying it around with its size and weight. When the light gets low, though, you'll be glad you brought it along.

What is a good name for a photo studio?

I am thinking:

Telepop studio

Viva Studio

The pictures are about everything. but witha modern touch to them. We photograph landscapes, architecture, people and art. If you have any other suggestions please write them but let me know which of this two names inspires you the most!


Viva studio could be a tad too general. For example, you could probably name a hair salon that.

Telepop is catchy!
You could look for names that people can shorten, if the know your place well. Like I could hear people saying "did you go to TP's for that?"

  • Green Building, Modern Design: Green Modern Kits!: Sustainable ...

    "Casa-ti is a remarkable example of how far prefab residential architecture has come. this greenmodernkits kit home is located on 55 acres in a heritage area in the western portion of virginia. the most exciting yet challenging thing about the casa ti project is that it contradicts any idea that the landscape is a stayed design, or an anchor for the architecture. we are taking a very historical site contextually speaking and turning it on its ear...creating a post modern design that connects the home with it’s expansive environs. i think the opportunity to design a functionally sustainable, yet whimsical site plan for casa ti is a true honor and an evolutionary process. we are talking about the first kit / prefab modern home that is completely ‘off-grid’ / fully sustainable in the state of virginia.* this shows that the greenmodernkit home can translate anywhere, in any capacity. it is my job and again, opportunity, to create that threshold between the prefab sustainable home and...
