Tokyo Nightscape

Tokyo Midtown Project (still under construction)

Roppongi Crossing

Imperial Palace

im not really a HDR fan, but this is nice. how about trying this with a lower ISO

true colors of tokyo

$Tokyo Nightscape by /\ltus.$

Brought my Pentax dSLR to work today so I could make a run to the top of the Roppongi Hills Mori building after work; just before the usual Thursday night Tequila drinking with friends.

Could see the city just fine, but it was raining fairly hard so the windows on the 52nd floor were covered with water, thus couldn't get clear shots :-(

HDR rendered photo taken atop the Roppongi Hills Mori Building in Tokyo, Japan.

Is it my imagination or are you so high that you can see the curvature of the earth? This couldn;t be any more sci fi if it tried, I am thinking William Gibson thoughts ...

markofphotography says:

@ jasmic - It's impossible to see the curvature of Earth from anywhere lower than about 50,000 feet. The curve you're seeing is an effect caused by the camera lens and human eye.

Great photo though! Found it on digg.

nex says:

stunning! please post more of these, i can't get enough! my attempts don't even begin to compare.

oh, and i agree with grmeyer ... could you make the big note smaller? it obscures another one, which we can't read at all now ... i'm wondering how that poster figured out what ISO you used, though :-)
