No I wish, this was shot in Fukuoka actually. The big spot for these types of pillars is the Inari Shrine which is a lot longer and was made famous by National Geographic shooter Steve Mc Curry.
Our coach driver stopped here where he said it appears like the map of Scotland is seen in the Loch below-- I used outdated Fuji Neopan 400 downrated to 320 ASA and processed in home-made Acutol-S Formula 1+1, no filter.
Taken from Skye,looking towards mainland Scotland -- I used outdated Ilford XP2 Super 400 rated at 320 ASA and home-processed in C41 - I held a Yellow-Green filter over the lens.

A quick three minute 'Photo Stop' our coach driver gave us ! -- pity about the barbed wire strands-- there was no time to climb over. A small amount of SUNSHINE at last in Scotland while we were out -- usually the sun came out just as we had returned back to the Hotel for dinner ! - I held a Yellow-Green filter over the lens for this.
I put into practice everything I learnt through many years in Camera Clubs-- the man is on the 'Intersection of Thirds', there is a 'lead-in line' of the white flowers and 'Recession of Tones' in the further mountains ! -- Let's see if a Judge agrees when I do a print for Brentwood Photographic Club next print competition !
the Witches' Pool-- if you sunk and drowned you were NOT a Witch, if you surfaced and survived you WERE a Witch and were taken and burned at the stake --- a 'No-Win Situation' !
taken though a moving coach tinted window as we were going into Glencoe on the way to our Hotel in Fort William -- the coach driver would not give us a 'photostop' !
I was lucky to have had the 18mm with me I think on this trip. Not easy manually focusing in the slot canyons with their tricky light I wouldn't recommend it.
Thanks guys. This light is only available in Antelope Canyon at 11am and last just a few minutes so I had to work fast. Of the 50 or so shots I took in the Canyon only about a dozen shots turned out.
Hi, Thanks! Actually I had to borrow this lens for Antelope Canyon. I had a 14-24mm, but all my other lenses were zooms in the midrange. I felt I might need another extreme FX wide lens so I grabed the Zeiss 18mm for the day for this shoot. Love those National Parks! ^_~
Tim, I always amazed at your portrait work. You work with you M8 and ZM 50 Planar, and produce great results. In the essence of simplifying and keeping it simple.

The lens mount is a little tricky to mount. The adapter is quite smooth. Only that you need to get the alignment right. Takes practice.
Yes, I love the lens. For the price it is pretty amazing. I bought mine on Adorama.
