I'm in the middle of uploading the final few of my photos from Japan. Not entirely sure how many there are in total, but it's lots. I wasn't totally happy with many of my photos, many under-exposed and I've found some pretty nasty vignetting from my Canon 17-85mm f4 IS USM lens. Still, there are a few nice subjects in there.
Japan is a great place to take photos, but you have to be not reticent when taking photos of human subjects. The deal seems to be that you just ask and they're more than happy. But you must ask. And I was too unforthcoming in that respect, so I didn't get many pictures of the very interesting people. Candid shots seems to be something that aren't culturally what you do. People like to pose and be ready for the photo. So I have none of Geisha (we didn't see any anyway), no front-on of ladies in kimono; and there are plenty of ladies who do wear them, especially in the evening to go out for dinner or something.
