Not overly motivated to get out for pictures too much at the moment, partly due to the weather - it's too hot and humid to move in the mad metropolis of Tokyo - and also the feeling that I'm creatively in a rut. I need a change of scenery (as so many of us do, in the current pandemic). Will try to snap out of it by focusing on the ordinary. Nothing is more ordinary <yawn> than mooching about down by the Sumida River. Note to self: must do better. 

M10M + 28mm Elmarit-M ASPH. Slight extra grain added in LR.

I agree that Pandemic effects our mood and creativity -- we feel constricted but good photographers, as Ruth Bernhard remarked,  can make interesting photos of anything (i.e. Besides classically lite nudes she photographed a smashed tin tea pot run over by a truck -- it is a classic). Edward Weston made iconic photos of Peppers. In your photo I like the gentle curve of the steps/retaining wall along the straight path. I think that might be the photo composition rather than the vast river and skyline. Just a thought keep making photos!! CHIPS

The blacks are so deep and rich. Did you use a felt cloth background or just paint it black with LR and the Brush? CHIPS

Hi Chips. No, the background is actually water. I shot with a yellow filter and since the blue sky was reflected in the water that darkened it a bit. I selectively burned in the "shadows" (actually just water) in Photoshop.

Same problem here in Madison, Wisconsin. Our weather has been like the jungles around the equator. 

Your lack of motivation due to needing a change of scenery is also fairly common. I haven't been anywhere for 18 months, thanks largely to the people who refuse vaccination and masking, thereby prolonging this pandemic far beyond when it could have been under control. 

Ironically, it doesn't show in your photos. Your b&w work is some of the best on this forum.
