Another one from My evening walk around Ikebukuro,Tokyo, with My Nikon D3s and just My 50mm prime lens.
And here’s a before and after comparison for you.
This one is made from the top of the World Trade Center in Tokyo, where you have a great view of the city.
It’s made through a window and unfortunately the was some reflections from the window in the sky part of the photo, that I was able to remove, and that’s the reason for the photo being a bit to dark at the top to My liking’s, but I still like the rest of it and there for chose to post it here on the blog anyway.
Sometimes when I’m traveling, I give myself these small challenges, like with this photo from Tokyo, that evening I only brought my 50mm with me.
I do it because it makes me think differently and be creative with what I got and not with what I have in my bag, and the most important factor makes me learn to live with the fact that I might have missed a photo that would have been great with another lens and then just focus on what I can make with the lens I got.
And then it’s nice to “travel” light, for once.
How about you, do you give yourself photographic challenges?
At first I was kind of not happy with the way I made this photo, I wished I had moved a bit more to the right, so the escalator would go straight down the center of the image.
But after trying different stuff in Photoshop, I ended up cropping a big bit of the bottom, I really became quiet happy with the photo as it turned out.
Do you know that feeling, when a photo just needs that last thing in order to get just right, but you just can’t put your finger on what it is.
And then when you finally figures it out, it’s such a relief and a great “yes, that’s it” moment.
This one is made from the top of The World Trade Center in Tokyo, a place and can highly recommend if you wanna make some nice cityscapes of Tokyo.
It’s open to the public and you can bring your tripod without any problems, of course you are standing behind glass and some reflections may occur, I had to remove some in the photo you see here, but they are nice enough to keep the light on the floor at a minimum.
Once again I’ll give you the before and after photo, if you are interested in see the difference between the original photo and the processed photo.
Happy birthday! Mom
