What are /r/japanpics' favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

"okashi sugi", "too funny". However okashi can also be "sweets"/"candy"/"confections". So perhaps "too sweet" with the play on words? I don't speak any Japanese, I just googled, so I might be completely wrong.

I'm not the OP but I'm taking a guess. There are a few different ways to go about this for a timelapse.

​

The most basic is a mechanical device that moves kind of like an egg timer, dinging and all: https://www.amazon.com/Movo-MTP2000-Panoramic-120-Minute-Smartphones/dp/B01C9AKRHE/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=pan+head+timelapse&qid=1569161418&s=gateway&sr=8-10

​

Some things like this are electronic or have more customization to them, but this is the main idea. It starts at where you want the video to end, and you rotate it to where you want it to begin, and start recording.

Never thought /r/japanpics will be where I'd spot a wild Lobster.

Could be wrong but the 日本国 looks like this don't, no? Not sure about the "JAPAN" font

This is a rudimentary complete map I plotted. I plotted day to day maps under that account too but it might be too boring for you hahah

Great. Yea, I read Gideon Lewis-Kraus' "A sense of direction," which has a section about shikoku in it, but not the other one. I think I was limited to what I could read on my kindle, for weight purposes :) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072NZZYE/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 Should we start a Henro community on reddit?

This is just a part of my film about Tokyo, which I've shot during half a year exchange program. I think you may like it because there are lots of Tokyo's pictures made in different places. My goal was to show the atmosphere of the city. I'll be glad to hear any comments :)

Here’s the link from Amazon Japan, not sure where you are located, but it was around $50 with shipping to US.

This is my approximated route. A more accurate day by day route is also available under my profile if it doesn't bore you!

No problem, just looking out for other photographers. Want tour photos to be the best that they can be. I will usually head here https://www.pexels.com/search/sky/ for stock sky photos if I need to. I would also say to use one that has the same angle of photography as your photo that you are bringing it into.

Philosopher's Path! It's full of sakura right now (and people, but you can't get away from that), and it's probably extra beautiful now that the petals started falling.

You should follow Kamo river up and take the side river Okazaki Canal past Heian Shrine. Make sure to go down to the river bed when you get to the end of Okazaki Canal and then up the "train tracks". At the end of the train tracks you go left and follow the aqueducts to Nanzenji Temple. Then finish with Philosopher's Path. It's a long walk, but you will have amazing sakura almost the whole way.

Thanks. Before the a7 I was using (and still have) the a6500. The 18-105mm f4 might be a good option for you and the range most closely matches my Sigma lens. It covers a lot of ground and is well priced. Not dirt cheap, but very versatile so I think it's worth the money. https://www.amazon.com/Sony-SELP18105G-PZ-18-105mm-OSS/dp/B00ENZRQH8?ref_=d6k_applink_bb_marketplace

Saying that, these 3 shots were at roughly 35-50mm , so maybe a 50 or 85mm prime might work too. Would certainly be cheaper depending on what you go for.

I found it very inspiring and helpful. plus very much matches the look you are going for. I love flipping through the pictures

I have a $30 one and I love it. Something like this. All it uses is the clean cold water incoming to the toilet and use it to spray you clean. It doesn't have any electronics like these fancy ones.

Alan Booth made a similar observation back in the 80s in <em>The Roads to Sata: A 2,000-Mile Walk Through Japan</em>, finding all manner of rubbish washed up on Japan's western shore.

Shame about the litter, but cool photo all the same.

Best wishes :)

here's the type of camera I use as well... stock without the rest of the stuff
