UJINA DAY TRIP
Ujina is the port of Hiroshima, and a nice place to go for a stroll when you need a dose of the sea air, and the good thing about it is, there are never many other people there. It’s a twenty-minute tram ride from Hiroshima Station, and this time I managed to arrive in just as cherry blossom season was beginning, which added to the photographic potential.
Here are the resulting snaps, all taken with the trusty old Nikon D7200 with either an 18-200mm superzoom or a 10-24mm ultra-wide lens. Processed in Affinity Photo 2.
Once again I have to mention that thanks to Squarespace, the host of this website, who do not provide any way to resize pictures or arrange them in a grid, I’ve had to avoid posting photos in portrait mode, since these would appear gigantic on desktop computers…
Ujina marina - a polarising filter made them clouds all nice ‘n’ floofy.
Walking around the promontory with cherry blossoms and the Inland Sea islands visible.
No bugger in sight, just how I like it…
There were actually a few people on this stretch, but I zapped them with studio trickery…Also, the sky really did look like that, I swear, your Honour…
I magnaminously allowed the humans to remain in this shot…and violated their privacy with this clandestine capture.
Cherry blossoms and ugly pylons - Japan in a nutshell.
Looking back towards the city after circumnavigating the Ujina promontory…
