Mostly Monochrome Monday #226

Nobody tells what is used to be over there. Yet, everybody tells how it will be, though. That’s life we know.

そこに何があったのかは誰にも分からない。それでも誰もがどうなるかを教えようとする。人生ってそんなもの。

A Photo a Week Challenge : Gateways

There should be a lot of gateways around my place, sometimes to draw a line indicating in and out, sometimes it just stands with no reason but historically, or simply it should be. I don’t know the meaning of above arch and gateway but at least, once you enter the town, the Christmas time should come to you.

どういうわけか身の回りにはたくさんの入り口となる道やアーチがあるのだが、こちらはクリスマスへの道らしい。

Mostly Monochrome Monday #225

Whenever any wind blows over the tip of promontory, a lighthouse stands quietly. Just only I find shelter from the storm.

岬の先端でどんな風が吹こうが灯台は静かにそこに立ち、自分だけが避難所を見つけているような気がした。

A Photo a Week Challenge : Bokeh

Needless to say, as same as common photographer, I often take some photos with bokeh. It’s a kind of one of basic techniques to lead eyes to the subject. However, I prefer also to use bokeh to add decorations of lights. Cheerful illumination for Christmas can be a good subject to test it. It’s always difficult to take it, though.

柔らかなボケも写真の楽しみのひとつだろうが、キラキラと輝くボケもまた楽しい。まもなくクリスマスのイルミネーションが絶好の被写体になるのだろう。なかなか思った通りには撮れないのだけれど。
