\"DSC_3043\"
\nThis is Uchihori Street. We go around to the left and enter through the Sakashitamon Gate.
\nStill, there are so many people for a weekday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3046\"
\n<\/a>The Nijubashi Bridge\u2014such beautiful architecture, and I’m seeing it for the first time.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3049\"
\n<\/a>As expected, the police presence is extraordinary. The atmosphere is quite tense.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3053\"
\n<\/a>We go through baggage checks and body checks before finally being allowed to enter.
\nHandling this many people must be quite a task.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3079\"
\n<\/a>In any case, the crowds are overwhelming.
\nThe cherry blossoms have already fallen, so there’s not much to see, and we just drifted through.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3081\"
\nBefore I knew it<\/a>we had arrived at the Karyomon Gate… how fortunate, how fortunate!<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3102\"
\n<\/a>We cut through the East Gardens as a shortcut. I’ve never seen so many people in the gardens before.
\nIt really is vast\u2026<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3097\"
\n<\/a>PC Micro-Nikkor 85mm f\/2.8D<\/a> and other manual focus lenses are the only ones I’ve been using lately, oddly enough.
\nSince I’m not shooting moving subjects, I suppose it’s the urge to focus manually myself?<\/p>\n

\"DSC_3115\"
\n<\/a>Being an older lens, you can find reasonably priced examples with macro capability, 85mm working distance, and tilt\/shift functionality\u2014a very versatile lens.
\nSince it’s a specialty lens, the limited number of used examples makes it hard to choose.<\/p>\n

Such beautiful weather\u2014I’m truly grateful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
