Shot of the Month : April 2007     Past Shots of the Month 2006 to 2010 2006 2007   2008   2009   2010

This digital photograph was taken from a low angle with the 24mm setting (35mm equivalent) on a Schneider zoom lens on a Kodak P880 camera with an ISO setting of 50. The low angle together with the stark contrast between the white of the Torii gate against the deep blue sky adds impact. The strong physical lines of the Torii gate and the powerful figure of the lion in the foreground adds further visual impact. Japan is an incredible place for photography as well as having the biggest photographic shops in the world full of digital cameras & accessories.
