Boring?
Well, the photo above is not interesting. It is a traditional Japanese room with tatami mats and a very low table. The reed blinds on the window might be interesting to some people. Some people might think that a cool breeze is blowing through them. But that was not my intention. What I wanted to capture was behind the reed blinds. The contrast of the roof tiles, the tropical plants and the shadows in the room made the room look cooler.

I know the next photo needs no explanation. Hydrangea is a rainy season plant, and it looks more beautiful in the shade. The temple behind the flower should have been more blurred. I actually took some blurry photos. But in the end, the blurry photos were just photos of flowers.

Finally, I would like to show my failure of paying attention the background. I wanted to take a picture of a bollard with a background of a bay and a bridge. Pan focus would be better but the focus should on a bollard. I didn’t find any concern. However, I realized my simple mistake. There was no bay water between me and the bridge on the picture.
