More Sunlight and Plaster
Comments: 6
On the spur of the moment we decided to visit the Nihon Minka-en yesterday which is a park full of old houses that have been collected from all over the country (how they were brought to the park is a mystery, but there they are). I now have more photographs of sunlight on plaster than you can shake a stick at.
There ought to be a word for the way sunlight acts on certain surfaces, lifting the object slightly away from itself so that the light appears to come from within. Maybe there is and I just don’t know it.

these are beautiful photographs Jeremy.
They have a real romantic mood to them.

“Minak-en”? Typo?

Yep, a typo. Thanks for spotting it.

I think the word you’re looking for is “gorgeous” ;) If you don’t mind my asking, what camera setup are you using?

“There ought to be a word for the way sunlight acts on certain surfaces”
Maybe in The Meaning of Liff ;-)

Robert —- These were taken with a Nikon D1X which I recently bought second-hand and am still getting the hang of. The lens is a 28—80mm 1:3.3—5.6 G series, not one of the finest lenses ever made by Nikon but not a total piece of crap (it was cheap, bundled with an 80—300mm, and lets me shoot while I save up for the serious glass ;-)
