Neon in the Rain

    This shot is *not* HDR. None of the 3-shot sequences I took would line up (unlike the previous two posted pics where about 1/5 of the shots I took came out aligned).

    So...having to make do with just one exposure on this one. Taken one major crossing down from Ginza's main crossing (heading towards the Imperial Palace).

    Tokyo, Japan.

      I suppose you removed some noise?
      A very nice picture indeed!

      I have always wanted to shoot light with rain, but I live in Arizona. That leaves me with February 7th...if I am lucky.

      Awesome shot as usual. I saw the bright colors and thought, "sweet, another HDR". I miss the bright lights of Tokyo :-(

      NICE! - The contrast on the asphalt with the rain and light is awesome. I think this is almost better for the fact that its non HDR. Great Stuff

    27. Sandmania (51 months ago | reply)

      Love how the colours are reflecting off the ground. Superb shot.

      What a beautiful mood. Neon shining on wet pavement gets me every time! I miss how polite everyone was in Tokyo.

    31. kurokojpn (51 months ago | reply)

      how is that? HDR looking tones and brilliance from a single straight shot!

    33. /\ltus (51 months ago | reply)

      Thanks y'all!

      @kurokoshiroko - Found that with just the right amount of Photoshop rendering I can simulate (somewhat) HDR type pics. Not exactly the same but in some instances can come close.
