City - Higashi Murayama State - SAITAMA PREFECTURE Country - Japan
About
The small country town where I took this is close enough to Tokyo to try and attract tourists to its festival. Here are some country ladies, all obviously knowing each other well and great friends, who were willing to pose for the camera. This is my trusty fisheye lens again, but straightened up a bit. I'm sorry if you find the colours oversaturated, but I reduced saturation as much as I could without making everything unnatural. That red happi coat is almost luminous!
Now I know how to spell popcorn, I missed that to date. Yes it shows to be a fish eye capture right when I saw it. The correction is visible and it is a trade off, leave or correct it. A happy scene, the light was good because it is hard with a fish eye to avoid the flare. Well done.
