Autumn trip to Kyoto Part 2

i then headed to nison-in. finally a place that allows tripod!to be fair, there was ample space to walk about. a 3 sec exposure to capture the crowd.

the sun was shinning from behind giving it a nice glow.

a 10 minute exposure! i wanted everyone gone but some guy was just in the frame for too long, sigh. kinda looks like a wandering spirit though :P

a multiple exposure shot. thought i tried something with the post processing this time. i used the water color filter to get this effect.
another shot of it.
the famous bamboo gardens at arashiyama. i've been here twice before and it usually wasn't that crowded. but it was so blardy packed this time round. it was like people were queueing up for a concert or something.

after that i took a few more pictures , then i decided to go to the city centre. the trains were ff-ing packed again! by the time i reached karawamachi, i was tired as hell. so i decided to call it a day and rest in a cyber cafe. i took a 4 hr package deal which was until 11+ cos i wanted to watch the arsenal match. but when i settled down in the cc, i felt so tired, so i went to ask if i could change it to a 10 hr package but the guy said no!wtf!blah. so i slept about an hour or so,and did this and that and was out by 11. i went to an irish pub where they were showing footie. at first it was the chelsea match cause the bartender said there were quite a few of its supporters that night. the match was dull n boring...by 2nd half alot of people went back, so i asked whether he could change it, which he did. the moment he did it, i regretted my decision, 2-0 down! #@$@!$
our season is over man... the match ended, and i decided to go back to the cc but to my dismay it was full! and so was another one not too far away. i gave up on finding one and decided to go to mcD!bought a cup of coffee,sat down while playing with my ds. i then noticed that alot of people were sleepin!! i finally gave in too and decided to do so before being woken up by the waiter. unsurprisingly he only woke the guys without waking the girls :P and that was how i spent my night in kyoto! more pics for the following day up on the next post.
