Colors of My Heart

A beautiful collaboration between the Paris Hotel and the moon. I took these photographs using a D40x that I had just bought for my wife at the time. I remember setting the ISO to 400 to minimize noise and pressing the camera firmly against a nearby building to prevent camera shake.  Even today, the D40x remains my go-to camera for casual walks.

During our summer visit to Kamikochi, we were welcomed by an abundance of wild flowers—Geranium thunbergii, thistles, Silene stellatoidea, Dianthus shinanensis, Adenophora remotiflora, and Impatiens noli-tangere, just to name a few. Taking a relaxed approach, we captured these blooms using a variety of cameras. My daughter shot with the E-M10, while I took the rest of the photos. Although I only gave her a quick explanation of how to use Aperture Priority mode, she made full use of the kit lens and captured remarkably beautiful images. Her photo of the thistle, in particular, is so vivid that it almost leaps off the screen, conveying the very atmosphere of the moment.  For my photos, I used a D850 and a D5500. Sharing and looking through our photos together at the inn after a day of shooting was such a wonderful experience.

The Artillery Arms is a traditional pub located just north of the City of London, near Bunhill Fields Burial Ground, operated Fuller  by the famous British brewery Fuller’s. Its exterior, adorned with beautiful seasonal flowers, makes it a truly charming and popular spot. I’m not much of a heavy drinker, so I rarely frequented pubs, but I absolutely fell in love with the atmosphere here. The classic brickwork framed by colorful blooms, and the lovely sight of people enjoying lively conversations both inside and out—it captures a wonderful, relaxed rhythm of life that feels uniquely London.
