The visibility in winter is amazing. I feel more freedom in terms of the choices of lenses I can use, especially for wide angle views. When outside temperature is warmer, I guess we get more noise (dispersion & diffusion?) in the air, and with wide angle views, it’s hard to get crisp Pan focus.

The same is true (maybe even more so) at night (The photos below are from early 90s with film).

 

I missed seeing fall leaves in Japan this year. I was looking back some files from a number of years ago, and found some pictures. Fall leaves reminds me of my childhood in where four seasons in the country side were much more discrete and dramatic than the city where I live in now.
