Kyoto to me is all about colors, temples and nature. This trip was about pleasure and snapshot photography, 50/50. Kyoto is both photogenic, as well as a peaceful and leisurely place, perhaps a bit underwhelming for the Hong Kong tourists. During the 7-day trip I have enjoyed the company of my wife Tiki, and Mr. and Mrs. Tony Yu. Sorry about the 'vivid' colors I have tuned in the Photoshop, but it was what I felt around there. We lived in the local guest house instead of hotel, which helped us to understand this city - a mix of 14th and 21st century, and to save money towards the tasty local cuisine.

Equipment that I brought - Panasonic Lumix FX01, Nikkor AF-S 17-55mm F/2.8 G and AF-S VR 70-200mm F/2.8 G mounted on D2X. Ocassionally Nikkor AF 14mm F/2.8 D and AF 10.5mm Fish Eye were used. All images were shot in JPEG fine.
