I had debated doing this, but I've been unhappy with the small resolution and inability to specify landscape or portrait orientation with photos that I've posted by phone. So, in addition to correcting the orientation errors, and replacing the small size with full size I've also done some basic digital darkroom work on a few of the photos.<br /><br />Digital darkroom work, to me, means that anything I could do with a negative in a lab, I can do in the computer and still call it a photo. As long as it's not blatently manipulated (orange skies and the like), it's still a photo. So, I'm taking the liberty of doing some cropping and changing the brightness of the photos but not much else.<br /><br />I've learned a few lessons over the past couple of weeks, namely that this project may have been a little too ambitious; maybe I should have started with a month or something, but I'll keep on plugging along. A second, and more valuable lesson has been that I need to re-familiarize myself with different lens lengths and their properties. I found that when I suddenly switched from a full SLR with a good set of lenses to a small resolution point and shoot that I was having a lot of trouble getting the shots that I wanted.<br /><br />Anyway, look for these changes to be happening over the remainder of this week; hopefully today will be the last cell phone camera post for a while and I'll be able to get some better shots in soon.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-0942398138138766";

I've built this website in the hopes of capturing a little bit of what makes life in Japan so interesting, especially through the summer months.<br /><br />The title "91 Days" comes, very simply, from the fact that there are 91 days in the combined months of July, August and September. My goal is to post a photo a day during the course of those three months. And, although I plan to shoot primarily around the town that I live in, in North Central Japan, I have plans to visit several other areas around the country over the next few months and will post what I can, when I can.<br /><br />For shooting, I'm using a Pentax *istD with (for the moment) a 90mm Tamron fixed lens and 20mm Sigma for wider shots.<br /><br />I plan to simul-post my photos on <a href="http://www.flickr.com">Flickr.com</a> under the tag "91 Days" as well as opening the occasional <a href="http://www.cafepress.com">cafepress.com</a>, as I've done with <a href="http://www.cafepress.com/ebisu">this</a> photo of Ebisu. <br /><br />If you have any questions or comments about myself, or this blog, please feel free to contact me at <a href="mailto:mightytoad@gmail.com">mightytoad@gmail.com</a>. Thank you for your time; I hope you enjoy the photos.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-0942398138138766"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; google_ad_format = "468x60_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel =""; google_color_border = "CCCCCC"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "000000"; google_color_url = "666666"; google_color_text = "333333"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/11645499-112014316329783920?l=91days.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Mighty Toadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11696586130501416358noreply@blogger.com0
