I took a two week vacation to Japan with a friend from college recently, and had an absolute blast. We were able to stay in Tokyo with his parents, so that cut down our costs immensely. Highlights of the trip included various places in Tokyo, the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Suzuka, temples and shrines in Kyoto, hot springs and hiking in Hakone, and taking the shinkansen (bullet train) all over the place.
Of course, I made sure that my D70s got a good workout while I was there.
I only had the 18-70mm Nikon kit lens, and I found it to be somewhat limiting on the cloudier days and for any night shots. I had tried to locate a fast prime before the trip, but I wasn't able to get one in time. Still, I'm pretty happy with the way most of the shots came out. I ended up shooting 714 frames, but pared them down to 234 shots for my gallery.
Please feel free to take a look and let me know what you think. Comments are always appreciated!
