Birds of a feather…

Japanese rivers boast many a sight, such as men with easels or even instruments, but, at certain times of the year, it’s also possible to spot small gangs of men sporting some of the larger lenses bonuses can buy.

Fellas (as it’s almost never females) whose patience, like their equipment, is of envious proportions.

But, as a picture by somebody with none of the former and the wrong sort of the latter amply proves, you certainly need both to stand any chance of securing even a semi-decent shot.

The only other option being to have subjects that are incredibly accommodating.

Confined to one spot.

      Yes. I’ve never been so close to such beasts, or at least uncaged ones, and I was amazed how beautiful they are. The owl sat on the log in particular was just mesmerising.

    Yes, creatures like this are notoriously shy and solitary and tend to avoid human contact. Fortunately you can get close if you know the areas they locate. Train stations and camera shops seem to be favourite hangouts.

    I should get into photography. Professional cameras are so expensive though. Nice photos.
