Now that we are back into summer here in Okinawa it's time to get back in the water and underwater model, maternity and couples shoots have been getting more popular.<br />

Really enjoying these Okinawa photo tours for AirBnb! Today I took Lauren from Korea around Okinawa with her Contax film camera and Leica digital to a couple of different waterfalls as well as the always popular Maeda Beach 51 and Manza's Mermaids Grotto. Being the rainy season it started out sunny then rain then finally back to nice weather just in time for sunset. Here's a few photos from the tour.<br />

Air BnB recent started offering Experiences in Okinawa and contacted me to see if I'd be interested in setting up a photo tour. Sounded fun so I signed up, attended online seminars to get me up to speed with running these tours and now I'm offering them up to 3 times per week.<br />
<br />
These tours are aimed at people interested in upping their photography game but not limited to serious photographers. Anyone even with a smart phone can join and not only learn to take better photos but also see some hidden gems in Okinawa that most tourists never get to see traveling around in the comfort of my 7 seater van.<br />
<br />
Tour locations can slightly change depending on weather conditions, tides, if there's been rain etc.. but in general we visit 3 locations, 2 hidden gems such as beautiful beaches or a waterfall and very photogenic cape Zanpa lighthouse and cliffs area.<br />
<br />
Tours generally depart at 3:30pm 2 or 3 days a week from American Village in Chatan and return around 7-7:30pm and can be booked at this link.<br />

Haisai folks!<br />
Long time now blogging. It's been super busy in Oki with family photoshoots and weddings etc.. As well as working on my online photo stock site. But now I can offer my Okinawa prints for sale directly from my webpage. Images of landscapes, seascapes, underwater and from the air!<br />
<br />
Prints can be made in various sizes and prints not just on paper but also canvas, metal prints which are my most popular these days. Also on other things like mugs, tote bags and more.<br />
<br />
Default currency is set to US$ for shipping to US and Military APO/FPO addresses. <br />
For orders to Australia be sure to use the AUS$ currency setting. <br />
For orders to Japanese addresses please use the Euros as the currency setting. <br />
<br />
Check out my online Okinawa print gallery at this link <a href="http://www.fotoshisa.com/p666285881">http://www.fotoshisa.com/p666285881</a><br />

Santorini bridal photoshoot</div>
<br />
<br />
Just returned from an amazing trip to Santorini, Greece for a post wedding photoshoot for Dana & Alan for whom I photographed a wedding for here in Okinawa. This trip has been in the works for quite some time now and our timing couldn't have been more perfect for the weather.<br />
<br />
Santorini had always been on my dream trip list for a long time and it did not disappoint.<br />
<br />
To get to Santorini from Japan I first had to fly out of Tokyo to Doha city in Qatar, then onto Athens and finally on to Santorini.<br />
<br />
Its a photographers dream there but there are a lot of tourists and the driving situation is a little crazy to say the least. But oh them views are to die for!<br />
<br />
Photo gear for the trip supplied by Spider Holster, Cactus image (flashes) and Velbon tripods.<br />
<br />
Here are just a few shots from our photoshoot. <br />

Shooting the Milky Way with some waterfalls at 3am in the jungles of Iriomote island</div>

Just returned from an amazing trip to Iriomote island which is a 50min boat ride off the coast of Ishigaki island. Myself and 4 good friends Nayuta, Mark, Shawn and Vish flew over to Ishigaki island then onto Iriomote for a few days of adventures in the jungles to shoot the night sky and some of the beautiful waterfalls on the island. This was also a great chance to wear in my shiny new Canon 5DmkIV camera!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is my 4th trip to the island and theres always new waterfalls to visit and shoot. This trip I wanted to visit the biggest baddest waterfalls on the island so I got our guide Daichan to lead us on a 14km round trip hike plus it took a small 15min boat ride just to get us to the starting point. It was a very tough but beautiful trek along rivers with multiple small waterfalls and a few very large ones before finally getting to the big beast Maegusuku falls. All in all it took us 12hrs of hiking with lots of steep muddy climbing and getting attacked by leeches to get there. But it was well worth it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I forgot to mention we started this hike after only about 2hrs of sleep as we also trekked into a different waterfall the night before in hopes of capturing the Milky way with a waterfall at the optimum time of 3am. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Apart from wanting to see and photograph these beautiful falls I was also there to shoot photos of my good friend Nayuta for her upcoming CD and also to sell as stock photography. Plus myself and Mark Thorpe will be leading photo workshops/tours soon on the island and so wanted to get some new promotional material and also suss out which falls and other nice places would be better for leading workshops on. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Will have more info on upcoming Iriomote island (and possibly Taketomi island) tour dates in a future blog post and also I'll be announcing dates on my main Facebook photo page<a href="http://www.facebook.com/fotoshisa" target="_blank"> fotoShisa Photography</a></div>

I just received the honor of taking two 1st place wins and a 2nd place in various categories for the 2016 US Army photo competition! I had forgot I entered a few shots at the end of last year then finally I got an email a couple of days ago with the good news. The image above I shot while back in Australia of the super cell storm cloud took 2nd place in the nature/landscape category while the images below took 1st place each in digital darkroom and Military life categories.<br />

So I recently bought the new DJI Mavic Pro drone to use when I dont want to take my bigger, heavier and much more expensive Inspire 1. It is so awesome to be able to pop it into my camera bag and have it set up ready to fly in about 1 minute or so. It does not hold up in strong wind as well as my Inspire 1 but so many other great benefits such as range, battery life and way less buggy. So far at least anyway. Heres a little video I put together filmed just out front of my house on the sea wall. Hope you enjoy! For more of my videos check out www.youtube.com/user/doksik<br />

This afternoon I headed out with good friends the Wendlands for a family photoshoot before they leave the island next month to live overseas. Right now the beautiful Cosmos fields are in full bloom here in Okinawa so its a great time for location photos with them as the background.<br />

Heres some quick samples from today. Starting out with a fun one of Lindsey doing a great job levitating amongst the flowers.<br />

A couple of samples from the first day of 2 days of model shooting out on a boat up north for a fishing lure company. What do cute Japanese girls from Tokyo and fishing lures have in common? I dont know either but Im sure its better than looking at some dirty stinky drunk fishermen lol. Anyway I must admit it was a nice change from the busy wedding schedule! I also did some aerial video with my drone which is always good fun! Drone video and photo packages are getting more and more popular. Also just did a couple of days shooting aerial video for a Singapore food TV network that were doing a documentary about food of Okinawa. Great stuff! </div>

Its been over a year now since we've had a decent typhoon hit the island. Anyone who knows me knows I love to get out and shoot the waves and craziness of the big storms. This morning we had some pretty wild conditions on the seawall out front. Went for a little walk with Lilikoi to check it out this morning and ended up pretty wet!<br />

Me at the front there presenting in Japanese for a sold out audience in Fukuoka city. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was recently asked by Japan`s biggest album printing company Asuka to fly up to Fukuoka and speak at a seminar about photography. The catch was that the audience consisted of professional photographers from around Japan who of course spoke Japanese. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I figured I`d base my seminar on how to better use off camera flash for portrait and wedding photography because from my experience when I used to shoot weddings on main land Japan there was practically no one shooting with speedlites off camera. Of course people are shooting with studio strobes etc.. but for some reason shooting wirelessly with light weight little speedlights has not caught on in a big way yet as it has overseas. Perhaps because we have access to cheaper gear and knowledge of cheap lighting gear more overseas where as here in Japan most people only stick to name brand gear for their cameras. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Im lucky enough to be an ambassador for the amazing Cactus Image flash gear. So I was showing and demonstrating how to use this gear and the benefits of using speedlights as opposed to studio strobes, off camera flash rather than on camera flash and various other techniques. </div>

One of the most popular bits of gear from the show turned out to be not flash related gear at all but my Spider Holster. If your not familier with Spider Holster thats the belt Im wearing thats holding my cameras in the photos for which I`ve also been an ambassador now for several years. </div>

The seminar went well and lots of people came up enthusiastically afterwards to meet and chat with me. It was a great experience to talk in Japanese with such a big audience but not something I`d like to do too often even though I can chat just fine all day in Japanese its a different story when your teaching and trying to get your point across. </div>

While shooting a family location photoshoot yesterday for my friend Todd and his family this beautiful super cell storm cloud appeared out over the ocean to the north of where I was shooting at Toguchi beach. The last time Id seen a cloud like this was a couple of years back in Australia while shooting a wedding. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Seeing these kinds of rare clouds always gets me excited, especially if I have a camera in hand. Now that the rainy season has finished here in Okinawa its been pretty much awesome weather and nice sunsets almost every day. </div>

My fantastic supporters at Spider Holster are just releasing their new revolutionary hand strap for mirrorless cameras. They already have wicked good holsters for your camera allowing you to do away with shitty camera straps and insanely comfortable hand straps for DSLR cameras and now they are catering to the mirrorless camera shooters.<br />
<br />
These straps are nothing like your traditional camera hand straps. I've tried a few of those in the past and they never stayed on my camera too long. Spider Holsters hand straps however are super comfortable, easy to get your hand in and out of and importantly easy to operate the buttons on your camera.<br />
<br />
Check out their kick starter campaign at the link! Also remember if you want to get 20% off their other products on their website www.spiderholster.com then use my special code Leong20 at check out. You can thank me later 8)<br />

Not photography related except for the photos which were all shot with the new Sony A7RII I just bought while traveling in Taiwan along with the Canon mount Sigma 35mm f1.4 art series lens used along with the Metabones adapter.<br />
<br />
Anyway I'd been contemplating getting a dog for ages and figured I'd go ahead and adopt one as all the cute ones I saw in the pet shop were between 130,000-180,000yen!! Yes thats like $130-$180 bucks. So I took a look at the pets that were up for adoption first at Petbox, a pretty popular local pet shop here in Okinawa but most were not too attractive looking. Then after that to the new big Vet park pet store here in Chatan where they had lots of doggies and cats to give away.<br />
<br />
Ended up with this little girl who is 2 months old and has some Rottweiler in her I think.<br />
<br />
Needs lots of attention and potty training etc.. but shes super cute. Think she'll be called Lilikoi (Hawaiian for Passionfruit) maybe...<br />
<br />
Heres a few first day picks of her.<br />

For those interested in shooting specs, all photos were shot at f1.4 with the Sigma art 35mm. I absolutely love this lens. I used to use the Canon 50mm f1.2L lens but sold it and got this lens and haven't looked back.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just returned from a week of photographing the beautiful nature of Taiwan. It was a fantastic trip driving down from Taipei along the stunning east coast right down to the bottom of the island. First though I stopped by "Camera street" near Taipei station to browse the countless camera shops and see if I could get a good price on a Sony A7Rii and a metabones lens adapter while I was there so I'd be able to use it with my Canon lenses that I took along for the trip. I also brought along my trusty Fujifilm XT1 which I planed to most of my shooting with during the trip. Oh and I also took my drone, the DJI Inspire 1 and Osmo so I could get some aerial video and photos over the mountains and ocean. Below is my little video showing Camera street and my little shopping spree I did there. </div>

So far loving the image quality and sharpness from the Sony. Surprised to say I think the images are sharper from the Sony with my Canon lenses than my Canon bodies with Canon lenses!! Thats pretty crazy. Not to mention the much better dynamic range and I prefer how the Sony handles white balance better than my Canon's also. Not every thing is better with mirrorless. I wish I could choose M and S RAW with the Sony was I wasn't forced to shoot at 40+ megapixels every image. I don't need that big of a file for all the weddings I shoot but I would never shoot in jpg which does offer L, M and S size. Also I wish I was able to magnify the image faster than how Sony seems to handle it. Unless Im missing something. It seems that when you want to zoom in to check focus on an image it takes you straight to 100% but takes at least 2 seconds of waiting before it shows the image. On all my other cameras including Fujifilm you can just zoom into the image with the scroll wheel slowly increasing magnification and there is no waiting/lag time. Perhaps theres a setting for that I've not yet come across in the messy menu system. Anyway over all Im loving it and its quite a blast to shoot a wedding with a totally silent shutter. Almost not sure Im even taking a photo. </div>

When I was invited to fly over to Miyako island to do some location photoshoots with newlyweds Samantha & Jason it didn't take me long to accept to offer. Miyako island located pretty much half way between Okinawa and Taiwan is one of my favorite islands in Okinawa with its beautiful beaches and amazing diving. I used to shoot a few weddings down here a few years ago when I was working for Watabe wedding but never got a good chance to explore the island. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luckily my good friend Cindy is the general manager of the Allamanda resort and was nice enough to hook us up with a very nice lagoon room with its own private pool. Not only was the accommodation amazing but the staff were super friendly and the food at the restaurants was just amazing! All very high class and top notch stuff. But on to the wedding location shooting. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the first night we went down to the beach with Samantha & Jason to get a shot of them with the beautiful night sky. </div>

Just returned back to Okinawa after a week in Australia visiting family and friends from north of the Sunshine coast in QLD down as far as Byron bay just into NSW. It was great to catch up with family I hadn't seen in years and also some new additions. For this trip I wanted to travel light, especially with camera gear as I wasn't going for any "work" shooting, just fun stuff so I took along my Fujifilm X-T1 with just two lenses. The Fujifilm 18-55mm f2.8-4 and cheap but impressive Rokinon 12mm lens which stayed on the body most of the time for landscape shooting.<br />
<br />
Having just got back and trying to catch up on wedding editing jobs I haven't had much chance to edit all the photos from Australia yet but heres just a few samples of what I came across.<br />

I have a lot of fun filming and editing these kinds of videos and hope to incorporate it more into my fotoShisa business this year. Last year was mainly all about practice flying it and getting better at cinematic shots, editing etc.. Not that I'm a master now by any means. But offers have started rolling in from companies wanting to have their company or use some footage of Okinawa for their promotions. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My latest video has been doing great on social media so far with over 460 shares and 17,000views in just a couple of days. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All of the locations for the video where shot around Okinawa and surrounding islands like Tokashiki island out in the Kerama island chain, also the famous Kouri island bridge, Zakimi castle, Sesoko island, Kaichu doro for kite surfing and other local spots around here in Yomitan, Onna area. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The video also stars Jammie Leong and Jenna Leong although they are not related at all. Jenna is my baby girl at the start of the video running along the beach path and Jammie is the model that can be seen on the Tokashiki island beach and is a good friend from Canada. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Thanks very much for all the support on this video! Please feel free to share it if you haven't already so that others can see the beauty of Okinawa as well. </div>

<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Oj6CB7rZp8c" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
For about the last year I've been using all Cactus gear for my speedlighting needs after using Yongnuo speedlites for several years before that. Was there something wrong with the Yongnuo's that made me want to switch? No but I was given a whole bunch of Cactus gear from a Japanese supplier to use and test so why not. I've since taken the Cactus gear along with me on hundreds of shoots both here on Okinawa and overseas and have been mostly very happy with them. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In the video I go over the basics of how I use the flash and V6 trigger off camera to light my subjects. I really love the dial on the back of the V6 triggers. They make it fast and easy to quickly change the power of the flash so I don't have to physically go out to each flash to make the changes saving lots of time and frustration. The signal between the V6 and the RF60 is also very good. I've had them fire every time even over long shooting distances. The only negative points I can think of are sometimes the battery door on the flash unit opens a little too easy, sometimes even after a slight bump sending batteries out onto the ground. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Also sometimes it takes a few seconds before the flash units start to react when Im changing the power from the V6 trigger which can be a little frustrating until it kicks in then it works fine. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As for battery consumption I can shoot pretty much all day on a single set of Eneloop rechargeables. Towards the end of the day though flash recycle times do start to take longer of course. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lately I've been enjoying firing dual flashes at once via a tri flash mount when Im out shooting in bright conditions. By doubling the flash power Im able to stop down to f16 and get a nice star burst effect from the sun while illuminating my subjects in the foreground. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For diffusion I usually use the Cactus CB60 softbox as its light and portable, can fold up really small and the mount system for it is better than the much more expensive Lastolite EZbox. I used to use the Lastolite boxes a lot in the past and they are good but in my experience can fall of the mounts a bit too easy in windy conditions. I've had a few blow into the ocean then the sea water rusts the metal frame inside them and eventually they break. Haven't had that problem once with the Cactus softbox falling off its mount. So all in all Im very happy with the Cactus speedlights and will continue to use them. I still have a few much more expensive Canon speedlites sitting around in my gear draws that hardly get used anymore. Just occasionally if Im shooting an event and I want to run and gun with TTL flash. I just don't see the benefit of spending $500-600 for a Canon or Nikon flash when I can do just fine with a flash that costs anywhere from $70-200. Having said that I do own one $2500 flash system for my location shooting and thats the Profoto B1 with air ttl radio trigger. Expensive combo and it has the extra power when I need it. But to be honest I prefer the Cactus trigger as the Profoto has its own problems as I talk about in the video above. I leave you with a few sample photos with the Cactus RF60 flashes in use. </div>
