Flying Through Tokyo
This is another shot I took last week from the World Trade Center in Tokyo. I saw this road between two tall apartment complexes, and I knew I wanted to get a shot of it, but I wasn’t really sure how. You can’t really tell in this photo, but to the right of the frame, there’s a big park so the space is just empty, and thus the composition wasn’t that great for a landscape...
Postcard Tokyo from the World Trade Center
A couple of nights ago I took a visit to Tokyo’s World Trade Center. I had heard they were pretty lax about their tripod policy, and with a great view of the city, it seemed like a good stop for the evening. I got quite a few pictures I like which I’ll be sharing over the coming weeks I’m sure. This wasn’t my favorite, but I think it gives a good idea of how nice...
Squared Off Sky

I really like the way the lines work in this shot, and how shaped off the whole thing is. Camera: Nikon D7000 Lens: Nikon 35mm f/1.8G Shot Info: f/9 | 1/125sec | ISO200 | 35mm
Jitensha
The other day I went to the Bunkyo Civic Center in Tokyo to take some morning photos of Mt Fuji. I had never been before but I’ve seen enough photos from the building to know I wanted to take a stop by sometime. Unfortunately, the weather upon entering the train and the weather upon exiting the subway were significantly different. I could still see a lot, but Fuji was completely covered in clouds. But, I...
Tokyo Cityscape & Working With Limitations
This is one of my favorite images of the Tokyo Skyline. It’s also a shot that wasn’t particularly easy to take. This photo was taken from the Funabori Tower, which is on the outskirts of Tokyo. It’s a wonderful observatory to view the city from, as it’s quiet and out of the way. But if you want to get shots of the city you may be in for a challenge. That’s due to the fact...
