Tomorrow I’ll fly up to the Japanese mainland for a two week photo trip. I’m going to visit  Beppu and Matsuyama, then head north via Okayama and Kyoto for a festival near Matsumoto. I return to Okinawa on the 11th.

Blogs will be a bit sporadic once I am travelling, but I’ll hopefully return with some great shots or at least a few amusing anecdotes.

If there are any orders for prints while I am away, I will sort them out on my return. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Just finished getting all my gear together. Most of the camera equipment goes in a Lowepro DryZone rucksack that is just on the limit of carry-on. Tripod, flash, clothes, wash kit and tea bags go in a second larger bag.

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go…

My bag of goodies (Camera, lenses, hoods, lightmeter, polarizing filters...)
