masaさん、今晩は。 イチョウの落ち葉ともみじの共演がきれいですね。綺麗なイチョウの落ち葉はタイミングが難しくてなかなか撮れません。

秋色の中のお散歩は最高ですね。まさに至福の時。

Thanks, Maciej! Autumn season passed and winter has just come in Tokyo. SISI_DADさん、ありがとうございます。 今日見回ったら、イチョウの葉は全て落ち、モミジも茶色くなっていました。東京も冬です。 Booth-Kさん、お久です。 私のワン公は、ジャック・ラッセル・テリアという体重８㎏ほどのチビで、ちょこまかせわしなくて、こんなゆったりした散歩は期待できません。 毎朝、会社へ行く前の30分、町内をぐるっとひと回りします。

Hidetaka Nishiyama (西山 英隆 Nishiyama Hidetaka, October 10, 1928 – November 7, 2008) was a prominent Japanese master of Shotokan karate. He was an internationally recognized instructor, author, and administrator, and helped to establish the Japan Karate Association. Nishiyama was one of the last surviving students of Gichin Funakoshi, founder of Shotokan karate.He was based in the United States of America from 1961 until his death in 2008, and was a pioneer of karate in that country. Nishiyama held the rank of 10th dan in karate. Nishiyama was born on October 10, 1928, in Tokyo,Japan.His father was a lawyer and kendo master, and he had two sisters, Sumiye and Michiko. He started training in kendo in 1933 and judo in 1938. Nishiyama said, "I began, as is the custom in Japan, on the 5th day of the fifth month at the age of five. I started in kendo." By the time Nishiyama reached 14 years of age, he had attained black belt status in judo. In 1943, Nishiyama was promoted to the rank of 1st dan in kendo and commenced training in Shotokan karate at the art's honbu dojo (headquarters training hall) under its founder, Gichin Funakoshi. His interest in karate had been sparked by two things: an old book written by a sword master, and Zoku Sugata Sanshiro (1945), a film by Akira Kurosawa. He recalled that training in the honbu dojo was around 80% kata (patterns) and 20% kihon (basics), and that Funakoshi and his son, Gigō Funakoshi, would divide the teaching load evenly between them. Nishiyama served in the Imperial Japanese Navy before the end of World War II, and was unable to continue his karate training during this brief period. In 1946, he was promoted to the rank of 1st dan in karate, and in 1948, he was promoted to 2nd day. With the war over, he was able to begin studying at university. While enrolled at Takushoku University, Nishiyama became a member of the university's karate team, and in 1949 he was named team captain. That same year, he helped to establish the Japan Karate Association (JKA). In 1950, Funakoshi promoted him to 3rd dan in karate.[2][6] Nishiyama received a Master of Arts degree in economics from Takushoku University in 1951. He began working for Shell Oil, but his JKA role soon became his full-time occupation. Recalling notable graduates of the course, he said, "There were many but I think Mr. Kanazawa was exceptional, even though he left the JKA. There were many very good people, like Mr. Enoeda, Shirai, Mikami and many others as well." In 1952, Nishiyama began teaching karate to US military personnel from the Strategic Air Command (SAC). In 1960, Nishiyama published his first book, Karate: The Art of Empty-Hand Fighting (co-authored with Richard Brown) This work has been recognized as a seminal textbook on karate; the cover of a 1990 reprint noted that over 300,000 copies had been sold. In June 1960, Nishiyama was promoted to the rank of 5th dan in Shotokan karate. In July 1961, Nishiyama moved to the United States of America at the invitation of his students from the SAC, and founded the All American Karate Federation (AAKF). It was around this time that Tsutomu Ohshima invited Nishiyama to take charge of his karate students in the US, as Ohshima was planning to return to Japan following completion of his US university studies. Four years later, in 1965, Nishiyama organized the first United States vs. Japan Goodwill Karate Tournament. In 1968, he organized the first World Invitational Karate Tournament, held at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. In 1973, he co-founded the Pan American Karate Union and was elected its first Executive Director. Nishiyama became Executive Director of the International Amateur Karate Federation (IAKF) in 1974. The first IAKF World Karate Championship was held in Los Angeles in 1975. The organization would later become the International Traditional Karate Federation (ITKF) in 1985. In 1979, the AAKF became the American Amateur Karate Federation (and kept the same acronym). Nishiyama was elected as the inaugural President of the new AAKF. Through the 1980s, Nishiyama served in a variety of administrative leadership roles, including President of JKA International (USA), Chairman of the AAKF, and President of the ITKF. He was based in Los Angeles, where he had settled with his family, but travelled across the world to teach karate. Nishiyama was featured on the cover of the December 1986 issue of Black Belt magazine. In 1989, he published the Traditional Karate Coach's Manual. In 1999, the United States Senate honored Nishiyama by presenting him with the US flag that had been flown on October 10 (his birthday) that year over the US Capitol in Washington, D.C. The flag was awarded in recognition of his contributions to traditional karate. At the request of US Senator Slade Gorton, the accompanying letter stated: "I would like to thank you for your many years of service to this country. Your efforts in bringing the art of Karate to the United States Armed Forces has been immeasurable. On behalf of your grateful students and friends, I wish you the best in your many endeavors." Nishiyama at a karate seminar in 2006 In May 2000, Nishiyama was honored when the Nishiyama Cup was held in Moscow, the first official karate event conducted in Russia since the end of the Soviet Union. On November 3, 2000, the Emperor of Japan awarded the Order of the Sacred Treasure, 4th Class (Gold Rays with Rosette), to him in a ceremony on the grounds of the Tokyo Imperial Palace. Nishiyama was one of only 11 recipients of the award from outside Japan in that year. During the first Traditional Karate World Cup, in October 2001, Poland honored Nishiyama with the Officer's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland. The award was presented by the President of Poland, Aleksander Kwaśniewski. On November 1, 2003, the International San Ten Karate Association (ISKA) awarded Nishiyama the rank of 10th day. Nishiyama died on November 7, 2008, in Los Angeles, following a long battle with lung cancer. His funeral was held on November 30 at the Hompa Hongwanji Buddhist Temple in Los Angeles, with over 500 people in attendance. Nishiyama was survived by his wife, Yohko, and their three daughters: Yumi, Amy, and Nami. On October 10, 2009, the ITKF posthumously awarded the rank of 10th dan to Nishiyama; his daughter Nami accepted the honor on his behalf. ITKF Chairman Richard Jorgensen recalled, "[Nishiyama] always said he never wanted to achieve the level of 10th Dan because he believed to do so and acquire the highest rank meant that his learning and his life would be over ... he would never accept the rank while he lived

昔々、高校生のころに、空手部に所属していました。体力はつきましたが、強くはなりませんでした。でも、いい思い出です。

遅い返事ですいません。 SISI_DADさん、構成枚数で新旧の設計判断は私は分かりませんが、予想以上にいい写りだと感心しています。修理、早く直ると良いですね。 ゴルティさん、ワンポイントで見つけたモミジには、望遠がぴったりでした。もうしばらくは近所でも楽しめそうです。

「レンズ」だけではありません　「ハート」を感じます

Ｓｕｚｕｍｅさん、コメントありがとうございます。 そんなことを言われると照れてしまいますよ。楽しんで撮れたらそれが一番ですね。

ゴルティさん、こんにちは。ここは東京の、近所の公園です。グダグダな絵になるかと思っていましたが、案外楽しめそうです。これからの季節が楽しみですね。

一部紅葉がはじまつたのも　いいですね　◎。

Ｓｕｚｕｍｅさん、こんばんは。 まだ活き活きとしていて、これからという感じが良かったです。今週末辺りどうなっているかなぁ？

染井吉野さん、今晩は。 良いアングルですね。おっと、IIsですか。にじみの無いシャープな絵に加えて歪曲収差が修正されて、ピシッっと仕上がっていますね。

それはどうもです、、現場で見るあの高さの圧倒感がなかなか写真では再現されない気が、、、まぁまだ建築中なので完成まで注目です。 ⅡSの解像力（解像度）かどうか、この写真のビルの窓をアップすると中の様子が見れてびっくり

SISI DADさん、お早うございます。 　心が休まる黄葉が美しいところですね。

このころが懐かしいほど今日は寒い日になってますね。 この写真をみてて秋はよい季節だと感じれました。

Nozawaさん、 ゴルティさん、今晩は。コメントをありがとうございます。 一本桜の芝生広場など小春日和にゆっくり散歩するには良い所です。シシィーも「智光山散歩」と言うと有頂天です。

「そうだ、京都行こう」とかなんとか言って、いつかは京都の紅葉を堪能したいです。青空にも映えて、見ごろですね。

こ！！これはK5Ⅱsではないですか！！ うらやましい！！とてもスカッとした絵で気持ち良いですね。

Ｑシリーズをお持ちの方は多いのですね。コンパクトで魅力はあるのですがお金が・・・ピントがしっかり合っていて季節を感じる写真となっていますね。

黄葉の背景に紅葉のボケの組み合わせが美しいです。私も06買いましたが、予想以上に使えますね。

暗く落ちた背景に、輝くもみじが美しいですね。瓦屋根にも朱色が反射して日本の紅葉の素晴らしさ満喫ですね。

Booth-Kさん、コメントありがとうございます。 この場所は、写真に慣れた雰囲気の方が撮られていた箇所をまねるように撮りました。色合いのバランスだけに気をつかってとりました。

Booth-Kさん、おはようございます。 コメントありがとうございます。光が当たってなかったら汚い葉っぱばかりでした・・・とはいっても色合いは気に行った写真が撮れたとは思っていますが。

ゴルディさん、今晩は。 大きく撮れていてとっても良いです。人が多くてなかなかこういう感じ撮るのは難しいです。今年は良い色づきですね。

SISI_DADさん、コメントありがとうございます。 今年は10年に一度のきれいな紅葉とは言われていますね。

これ、エスカレーターの両側が鏡になっているんですか？

面白い視点での撮影です。ミラーレスでミラー撮り？ Qの新しいファーム、フォーカスアシストがさりげなく入ってマニュアルには嬉しい改善ですね。

kusanagiさん、Booth-Kさん、今晩は。 JPSフォトフォーラムを聞きに有楽町マリオンに行って来ました。エレベーターホールとエレベーター側面が鏡面仕上げになっていてずいぶん不思議な光景でした。 QのFW Ver.1.1はちょっとノイズが減っている?気がします。 フォーカスPeekingをOnにすると雪がちらちら降っている様にノイズが強調され、少し暗いところでは使えない感じです。 残念ながらAdobeRGBの間違いは治っていませんでした。

買われましたか。それなりに背景もボケるようですね。私も思案中です。

Booth-Kさん、今晩は。木枯らしが吹いて寒いですね。 少し手振れしています。45mmだと十分背景がボケます。ただ、コンデジスタイル撮影だと45mmは手振れが止められません。難しいです。

習作さん、こんばんは。東京はまだ色付き始めですが、富士山周辺はあちらこちらで色付いていました。理屈抜きに見ていて嬉しくなりますね。

Booth-K さん、お早うございます。 　紅葉も今が美しい盛りですね。

Nozawaさん、こんばんは。辺りはあちらこちらで色付いていて鮮やかでした。東京はこれから、楽しみです。
