Asamushi Aquarium
This weekend, I decided to take a drive. So I went to Asamushi Aquarium. It is definitely nothing like Churaumi Aquarium in Okinawa, but it’s one of the local attractions. The drive took about an hour and a half, close to two hours. There was a lot of scenery on the way up. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to stop to take pictures on the way as the road I took was single lane and no shoulder. This particular outing, I used my brand spankin’ new lens ‘Canon 17-40mm f/4 L’. It is obviously not meant to be used indoors, particularly at an aquarium, but I wanted to try it out. It didn’t do too bad indoors. Obviously you can tell by the photos that all the outdoor settings were much nicer. It is of course a great piece of glass none the less. Anyhow, as soon as I finish sorting out these photos (probably tonight), they should be up on my new gallery page. Feel free to leave comments. Enjoy!
Edit: Photos are up. Go check out my gallery!
Under Construction
Bear with me, I am working on updating this with tons of photos. Just trying to get a feel for posting. I am aiming to have two other pages along with this one. One will be a photo gallery to showcase photos that I have selected as some of my best photos. Another page will be for HD videos. I am still an amateur to this, so the updates will be slow and painful, well at least for me it will be. Check back every now and then for new stuff. Enjoy.
Asahiyama Zoo
So I went to the Asahiyama Zoo. Located in, that’s right, Asahiyama. It is about a 2.5 hour drive from Sapporo, 2 hours if you’re speeding. The zoo design is what is called a ‘Capsule Zoo’, in that each display had an indoor capsule to view the animals on the outside. The concept is interesting, but due to the winter weather, all the animals were not very active. I’m sure in the summer time they would all be out and about. In any case, click on “pages > gallery” to see the pictures.
