Furusato Kawa

After going to Motorland Speedway, my friend Nao and I drove around and we found this river called Furusato Kawa.  It was beautiful, only I had made the mistake of only bringing one lens with me.  All the shots were done with my 70-200mm f/4 L lens.  There is one long panoramic bridge shot that I uploaded.  How did I get a panoramic out of a zoom lens you ask? well of course, photoshop/lightroom played a role in that feat.  I had to plan out two shots so that I could stitch together what would look like a panoramic.  The 70-200 performed quite well in my opinion and I like how the photos turned out.  I was considering selling it, but after this day, I think I am going to hold on to it for a little longer.

    i used lightroom and i made some custom tweaks. i put it on grayscale, then i made it a low contrast b&w. then i upped the blacks, upped the fill a little, upped the clarity to give it some grain, and then i tweaked the colors a bit. i think i upped the reds a little.
