The Great Buddha | Nara

Posted by & filed under HDR, Japan, Nara.

Our last excursion was from Kyoto to Nara which took about 1 hour to get to, it was pissing down with rain pretty much all day but I was still looking forward to seeing Daibutsu or the Great Buddha to me and you. There are many Daibutsu statues located all over Japan however many have been destroyed or severely damaged by earthquakes over the years.

Nara was a beautiful location which comprises of many temples and shrines, as well as the deer park. Nara is famous for its wild deer that inhabit the area, which on occasion get a little over excited when hordes of school children make there way through the park carrying food.

This was a HDR composed from a Single Raw, it was almost impossible to get a multiple exposure shot of this beast as the temple was swarming with school children and fighting my way through the sea of black hair was a real challenge.
