Sometimes I see a nice scene, but my camera doesn’t. It can only see the thing close up or far away, but not both at the same time. So I take two pictures, each with a different focus.

Such was the case when I walked through Horinji (法輪寺), near Waseda University, a few weeks ago.

The same thing happened a few days later while visiting Suijinja (水神社). I couldn’t decide whether to focus on the fallen leaves on the roof…

…or the maple leaves still on the tree. So I took two photos to cover all the bases.
