Super Yosakoi 2008 – Getting Ready

On August 23^rd and 24^th, 2008, a very big festival was held at Omote-sando of Harajuku for the commemoration of the 140^th year of Meiji Government and the 50^th year of renaissance of Meiji Jingu shrine.

There were many activities there, including stage shows and street parade. I went for both days and these are the shots of the performers getting ready for the stage show on the first day.

Nikon Digital Live 2008 – Another Model Shoot

During my visit to the Nikon Digital Live 2008 event, I was give a chance to shoot with a D700 and the Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G. However, I only managed to shoot one of the two models with these equipment.

When I went out of the shooting ring, another model came on stage and I was with my own D300 and Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8D. So, I took some shots of this model with my own setup.
