I wrote in a recent thread on another forum that there were probably more landscape photographers in Japan than in the rest of the world put together, I do now have the means to prove it...



Cheers,
Bernard

One of my most amusing memories of my trip to Japan was crowd-watching at Shinjuku Park in Tokyo during cherry blossom season.  We didn't aim for cherry blossom season, but happened to hit the beginning of it in Toyko.  Trees in blossom with about a hundred people clustered around each, including lines of photographers like that.  A weird cultural experience!

Thanks for bringing back memories. :-)

As I drove up to the Zabriskie Point parking lot at dawn last March, I laughed out loud.  There were at least 30 shooters present.

This is a GOOD thing!  : )

Sometimes at lunch we talk about how we should become painters because at least painting still has a pretty steep learning curve to keep out the masses.  OTOH I have been going to the local area's #1 fall scenic location every day for the last week and on one day there were actually more plein aire painters than photographers, and plenty of each.  

#1 Fall Spot along that ol' Rio Grande near Albuquerque.  Only had to stamp out one painter and the other photographer was kind enough to shift from my right side to my left side as I swung the panohead.

I guess that there must have been around 50 around that small pond...

I didn't bother removing the x1.7 converter from the 300mm lens otherwise I could have shown many more...

Nice shot of the Sandias, Bill. The clouds really cooperated.
