The Yutoku Inari Shrine
This is a pretty epic location in Southern Japan and it's not that old surprisingly. It was relatively empty this day I went although I did need to wait a few minutes for this entrance to completely clear out. It seems there was always one or two stragglers but finally it cleared out and I was able to get a few shots.
For this photo I used an HDR processing technique mixed with texture blending to give it a gritty aged look.
I shot it with the Canon 5dmkii and the Canon 16-35mm f2.8L II lens at an f8.
