Photography day

Emi's mother is really into her photography. She knew I had a sporty car so she wanted to take some pictures of it. (BTW Emi's mothers name is Yoko-san or just Yoko in English, I'll use this from now on as it is easier to type. Emi's mother - If you are reading this I hope you are not offended!)
On Saturday 23rd August Emi and I headed off to Yoko-san's appartment, loaded up the car with photography equipment and mother and headed off. Yoko-san's had already done some research and had found an interesting spot for the pictures so we headed off there.
Problem no.1 was that it involved heading down a dirt track and it had rained heavily the night before. This meant that my newly washed car arrived at the scene with muddy wheels! However I was careful enough that the bodywork was still clean.
We spent the next 2 or 3 hours with Emi, Yoko-san and I taking pictures of the car from various places, angles and cameras. I was really enjoyable and I think it has re-ignited the small photography bug I inherited from my father but have never done anothing with, we will see. After the photo session we dropped Yoko-san and her equipment off and then headed home.
In the evening Emi and I went to Toho Cinema in Ebina to watch the new Batman film. People have being going on about how great it is and it will win lots of Oscars. I think the story is very good but the film editing is very poor and there are some superfluous scenes that could have been deleted. So it was good but could have been even better.
Sunday was nothing particularly interesting, just went to the new Mega Donkihote store in Hon-Atsugi and watched the F1 race in the evening.
