It's not new but it's wide - Fujinon XF 16mm f2.8 R WR lens

I like to mix things up. Take a walk in the same old places with a different perspective. On this day it was the wide angle perspective of the Fujinon XF 16mm f2.8 R WR lens attached to the X-Pro2 camera.

A police boat cruising down the Ookagawa river on a beautiful morning.

I guess I'm not the only one out taking pictures today.

Sometimes wide angle isn't the best choice. That little dot under the helicopter is a man being lowered down to the ground.

A couple of runners passing by at Aka Renga Soko.

A small fueling boat is underway to the Asuka II moored at Osanbashi pier.

The domed building in the center of the picture is the Yokohama Customs House; nicknamed "The Queen".

Standing on Osanbashi pier looking toward the Yokohama Bay Bridge.

On the other side of the pier there is a view of Yokohama's famous Minato Mirai skyline.

A closer look at the mighty Asuka II cruise ship.

What's that up ahead?

A lovely wedding couple getting their picture taken by a professional (and me too!).

The inner side of the Elephant's nose at Zou-no-hana park.

Kids running wild? No, it's a grade school field trip.

She's got her man.

This is what it looks like when one moves in real close with a wide angle lens.

It's selfie time (left side background).

Chinatown is always a great place for people pictures.

I think the lady on the left has a headache.

Another enthusiastic photographer.

Last shot of the day: A new gaslight was installed in the foreground.

Thanks for stopping by!
