2019 UK / Scotland 2

January 09, 2019 by Jonathan Chow in UK, Trips

Day two was probably our most eventful day of the trip, so I’ll be splitting it into two posts. First up, wrapping up driving through the highlands.

2019 UK / Scotland 1

January 08, 2019 by Jonathan Chow in Trips, UK

Starting the year off with a new experience, out in cold old Scotland. Amazingly, it was also a (mostly) dry experience and while we were secretly hoping for snow, it was probably for the best that we didn’t since we were moving around a LOT. The trip covered the Scottish Highlands, Edinburgh, London, and ending at Dublin. Here are the pics from the first day as we drove up to Loch Ness.

Crossing over into 2019

December 27, 2018 by Jonathan Chow in In The Moment

Just as this crazy year we call 2018 is starting to wrap up, I’m looking forward for 2019 to begin. 2018 was such a wild year for so many reasons, but personally it was one of my strongest and most satisfying years in recent memory. Here’s hoping for that streak to continue into the new year!

Testing out the Voigtlander 40mm f/2 on the Nikon Z6. Pretty happy with the results!

2018 LA Autoshow

December 27, 2018 by Jonathan Chow

New camera, new reason to take photos again, new reason to blue again! Here’s some pics taken at the LA Autoshow this year. Yeah it was a while ago, but it was only just recently that an update for Adobe arrived which can now convert the new Nikon RAW format, so good reason to post some stuff up!

Overall pretty happy with the camera, though I noticed that I do need to be more mindful with the autofocusing compared to the Canon. This was shot entirely using the 24-70 f/4 Z-Mount, so we’ll see how the 40 f/2 Voigtlander will fare in the next shoot.

Japan Trip / Rides 2

January 21, 2018 by Jonathan Chow in Japan, Trips

Second half of my ride-specific pics. 

IMG_9790.jpg

Oh look, the perfect car for everything, aka RS4 Avant. 

IMG_9844.jpg

S class rocking a full Lorinser kit!

Japan has some strange cars, but never would have expected a modded XKR! Looks like it would have come straight out of a catalog from the late 90's.

Tokyo is definitely the place to be for some perfect condition Euro classics!

This 901 seems more fitting going to a meet at Venice Beach than cruising Tokyo, but it works there too!

Admiring the beautiful bikes in this city when suddenly a wild Dodge Ram van appears!

American cars are far from popular in Japan, but whenever you spot one, it's always an interesting model.

Something timelessly classic about the Toyota Century.

Shy little guy

I think I'm in love...

And on the very last night, near our place, I finally ran into a proper R34 GT-R, though I spotted some interesting mods. It has some aggressive venting on the passenger side of the bumper but not the other side. But then it's also rocking Endless calipers and what appears to be BBS RE-MG wheels (!!!), so who am I to judge?

Japan Trip / Rides 1

January 18, 2018 by Jonathan Chow in Japan, Trips

So now that I've wrapped up the general travel pics, I gotta of course mention all of the amazing cars and bikes I encountered while in Japan. I didn't spot anything too exotic, but for such a metropolitan city that frankly doesn't require any sort of personal transportation to get around, there's an amazing amount of interesting rides. So, that said, here we go!

Subaru, please! If you're not going to give us a hatchback Impreza WRX, then for the love of God, please bring over the Levorg! Honestly I'd prefer the Levorg, and if I were going to push myself for a new car, this would be the one car that I'd immediately jump for.

Why yes that's a Lancer Evolution IX Wagon with an older diesel G-Wagon in the background. That's Tokyo for ya.

Japan Trip / Pt 12

January 18, 2018 by Jonathan Chow in Japan, Trips

Finally at the end of the Japan posts, at least the ones focusing on the trip itself.

I've been eager to go to Japan for years and despite the amount of excitement I had when the opportunity finally arrived, the experience still managed to live up to the hype.

Can't wait to go back as soon as possible!
