Asakusa Waterfall with ND filter

Picture made with a Canon G11, a point-and-shoot camera, using a small tripod and the incorporated ND filter. You need an ND filter to get this motion blur effect on water during day light. It just reduces the amount of light coming to the film/sensor. Don’t confuse it with the f-stop. In fact as a parameter to measure the “darkness” of the filter, an equivalent f-stop value is used but the purpose is to indicate the reduction in the amount of light and it doesn’t produce any other effects related to the depth of field.

Saving Water

I found this in the way back home from my office just a couple of days ago. The lady that own this shop is trying to save the rain water by putting it in that watering can. Later she will use it for her shop’s plants.

A world without maintenance

Really interesting documentary in Google videos about what should happen in the World if humans disappear. After some centuries almost everything get destroyed and corrupted by time. Only Egypt pyramids will still survive more than any other modern construction.
