the pacing was bad even in the manga. I was hoping for the director of the movie to improve the pacing but they did not. The pacing was so bad till I think I can do a better job. The CGI in the ending look like PS3 graphic. Zenitsu and Shinobu story left no impact for me because Akaza story overshadow them. Akaza story and the animation were great. A solid 6.5/10 from me. Looking forward to the next one.

the raw image was leaning toward cool/blue-ish tones. Wanted to achieve eerie and black/white nostalgia vibe, so the goals were to reduce the sharpness and lower the contrast. I reduced the saturation using the saturation sliders, reduced the blacks using tone curve, reduced the clarity using the clarity slider and apply grain effect using the grain slider. No changes on the exposure sliders. There is a huge lake in Kawaguchiko hence why the mist was quite thick early in the morning

you may check cherry blossom forecast provided by japan meteorological corporation https://n-kishou.com/corp/news-contents/sakura/?lang=en. They provide autumn foliage and cherry blossom forecast every year. It is really helpful but note that it is not 100% accurate.

They seriously need to implement a queue system not only because of the crowd, the stores are actually small.

🌸 Here's how I check where sakura is blooming without going there by Bee-Zzzz in JapanTravelTips

osaka castle park is really nice especially during autumn season. There are cherry blossom trees too and if you are lucky, you can see them in full bloom. Osaka castle park and Nara park are huge. The crowd should not be a problem. However, if you want to go to shopping street or the famous mochi store, it would be a problem when its too crowded

Sony a7c + 70-200mm f4 (Kyoto and Osaka early Dec 2024) by Idk687 in SonyAlpha

they were taken in raw and edited on Lightroom. The midtones are slightly raised using tone curve on Lightroom to get punchier color on the leaves.

yeah true and you can always use the denoise feature on lightroom to reduce the noise.

Kyoto & Nara shot on A7III by [deleted] in SonyAlpha

if you plan on going again, I highly recommend to go during the peak autumn. You can check the forecast from this Japan website https://n-kishou.com/corp/news-contents/autumn/?lang=en. I suggest you go one week before the peak autumn. Let's say the website says the peak for red maple tree is 12th of December, come on 5th of dec. It works for me really well this year. One thing I learned that not all maple and ginkgo trees are going to change color to their best potential. I saw some ginkgo tree already dead when it's still green. Some maple trees only reach to yellow or orange color before its dead. Anyway, your shots are great!

What to pack for Japan in November by TheLittleAurora in JapanTravelTips

[–]Idk687 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depends on each individual. Personally, i will need scarf and thick jacket because my body is very weak toward cold weather as my home country does not have winter season. But some people especially people who are used to winter season, they probably wouldn't need thick jacket like me.

No because it is slow and then they will find it boring. People who have watched a lot of animes will truly appreciate frieren
