I started 2013 in Spain where I took the first pictures of the year. I spent the rest of the year in Japan taking photos with my Nikon D800, Fuji X100 and my Iphone 4. The only addition to my photography equipment this year was a Nikon 28-70mm f/2.8D lens (until now I just had a 50mm f/1.2 lens). I am very happy with the new lens, it has helped me take photos with a different style than that captured with the 50mm.

This year more and better photos!

You can see all the photos in this Flickr set and download them in high resolution.

Last year we had the opportunity to visit a small photography exhibition by Natsumi Hayashi, a Japanese girl that takes photos of herself levitating. Her photos are great, she uses different techniques to be able to achieve such a credible levitating effect. While on the exhibition we tried to imitate her style just by doing simple jumps. The most difficult thing is the jump timing.

This was the result of the photos that we took during the exhibition:

This one was the most difficult to get. To make everybody jump at the same time and take the photo in the exact moment was not easy at all.

You can see her photos at her website Yowayowacamera.com.

Miyoko Ihara (31 years old) has been taking photos of Misao (88 years old) and her cat Fukumaru for 8 years. She has taken so many photos of Misao and Fukumaru’s life that even they have published a photobook.

These are some of the best pictures of Misao and Fukumaru:
