Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages,
with colours that haven't faded.
So that our wishes, too,
will be in someone's heart someday,
Let's shine on like that star!

Now that the light is released, surely it can't fail,
across time it's got to reach someone.
The light of glory is right across the way
It's the story I'm about to weave with you all.

Another photo inspired by the brilliant first opening of the Bleach anime. Those of you who are familiar with it might recognize this part: [link] This is our own take at that scene. It wasn't meant to be entirely accurate. We just wanted to capture the feel of the song, and the series as well.

I chanced upon that spot during one of the solitary walks I usually take around my campus, and brought the whole team there on the day of the Karakura High photoshoot. This was a lot of fun to shoot, with Erving using us as test subjects for his experimental photography and favorite multiple flash tricks.


For your amusement, we shall share our unedited failed attempts at this shot before we finally got it right:

1. [link] : The colors turned out pretty cool, but we look like we're about to get hit by a truck.
_{(But my glasses have that Ishida glare! Hoho! AND KEIGO CAN SEE FOREVER)}

2. [link] : Too dark, and so many extra people!

3. [link] : LOL, default flash photography. Our photography professor would smite us for this.
