great shots danny! i never went to benihanna's but i heard it was great!
Tch - fancy not going up Tokyo tower til now! I spent ages looking at that main expressway when i went up there. Looks like a vein, and the wee cars are blood vessels! Nice lift ride too. Superb night shots mister Choo - really colourful pics. You must have a sniper hand (aided by diazepam) to take steady pics at such long exposure times without a tripod. Im amazed you didnt pick up any reflections from the slight interior lighting too.
Sorry - forgot to add this to my post! Any chance of some huge-ass 3000X3000-ish size versions? ISO enhanced cityscapes at night make for the best wallpapers ever.
Wow, those are some great pictures Danny. Really beautiful sites. Makes me envious that I can't be there now.
Awesome pictures from the Tower Danny! Makes me want to visit Japan now..
Hmmmmmmm... I'm defo no pro-photographer but there's something about these images that don't look quite right. I've seen people use the exact same cam as you with the bog-standard kit lens and no tripod but their images don't look like what you have here. Yours seem rather wishy washy. Were you using "spot metering" or something? I'm actually more concerned about your Cam. Are these the first and only shots you've taken with the cam since you cleaned the sensor yourself? Like said, exposing the sensor to bright light for long periods is not ideal (of course, for 5 mins once in a while isn't a big deal). We've been standing in the exact same spots here. Not that theres many places to stand...
very nice pictures Danny. the clouds and citylight makes it look like you're taking the pictures jus about when the day is ending and everyone in the city has just turned on their lights.
nice...must go next time when i go to Tokyo again... 'knives' btw, not 'knifes' lol
It will be a dream come true if i could spend my new year with my loveone in Tokyo Tower. :p Perhaos the best thing that could ever happen... Anyway great shot Danny!
whoaaa... tokyo looks totally amazing at night... like the way you wide angle lens gives the pictures a curvature. i guess the only thing missing is a giant mech stomping around, fighting another evil giant mech/monster/alien/god thing, lol...
Dude, didn't that tower get blown up, like 58 times?
Danny, congratulations to you both on your 10th wedding anniversary! I've hear this before, go to Tokyo Tower this time of the year, and you feel like you are part of a couples tour. ^^; I wonder if couples still leave padlocks on the tower... Never critical of your photo skills because I'm definitely not a pro as well. Did you shot these threw Plexiglas? You probably used evaluative mode or standard mode. My 20D will do the same in this metering mode. It just can't make up it's little electronic mind how it wants to set exposure. Anyway, your photos are interesting. It's amazing how alive the city feels at night from the air. Every once in a while, we will get to see Central Florida and Orlando through the HUD of the Space Shuttle during night landing. It feels just like these photos.
1stly, Id like to wish you a happy anniversary, I hope you guys have many many more!! 2ndly, awesome shots Danny, Id like to visit it one day......
Great night view! The centre looks like a giant starfish! Hate to think what the traffic is like right in the centre point! And er, talk about light pollution... I guess there won't be any stargazers in Tokyo ^^; I went to France once but never went up the Eiffel Tower. Disney Land was the destination then XD
celebrate your 10th wedding anniversary back at the place you met ^0^ Ho, ho, ho, it s so cute!
Im living close to tokyo tower, like its 3 minutes walk from here. I can see it...Wanna visit? xD
Nice... Kind of remind me of missing my chance of going up the Pearl Tower back in Shanghai...
Did you manage to find Ryuk flying around the Tower? And he's laughing evily..finding his next prey.. Fu fu fu...
Whoops, I almost forgot, Happy Decennial (Tin) Anniversary to you and your Wife Danny!
BEAUTIFUL scenery. Thanks for the photos! Really, though, I can't imagine living there. While I'll be visiting Japan for a period of time in the future, I really kind of hope I spend more time closer to nature than. Yet I hope I get to see the Tokyo Tower view in person. Oh, a note on registration: Registration went well (I can live without mixed-case usernames), but it seemed the screen telling me to check for the confirmation email had the incorrect encoding declared (as observed by me on Safari). I can't really confirm *exactly* what the problem is, since I was booted back to the registration form before I could check everything, but I'm sure you can figure it out. And I'm sure it won't matter once the form is in English. Perhaps other browsers compensate better, as well.
the wealth of information on your site is perfect for folks interested in japan, gundams, anime, etc.. good work and thanks for keeping things updated.
Tokyo Tower is a definite place for visitors of Tokyo should go to. I went during mid afternoon so I could not see the awesome lighting that surrounds Tokyo Tower. Also congrats on the 10th Anniversary.
How do you take such great night scenes?, i cant setup my kodak v530 so that it can take nise pictures like that.
Kye Henney Beast, Used an ISO setting of 1600. Mac in Podunk, Thanks for the info - will look into it. Marvin, Gordon Pekeur, Edward, Thanks ^^ Tiny Red Man, Not on that day. Edward, Trying to shoot without reflections was tough. I'm still not god with the camera at all and set it to "P" mode. Chaos Incarnate, 59 times. Linc_31, My spelling is terrible! Eddie, I wanted to take wishy washy photos and studies up on it. AndyH, Give me just a bit more time for that wallpaper tool ^^;
WOW cant wait to go there, its so freakin awesome!!! Btw; Danny got some latest scans of Gundam Musou for you. Its taken from the Famitsu > http://www.ps3focus.nl/sitee/nieuws/bekijk.php?id=3923&cat=catps3
Hey Danny, Congratulations for your 10-year wedding anniversary! It is quite an idea you got there. Your wife must have wondered where you could have invited her and I'm sure she was very happy that you remember about the place you met her. Reminds me of old good Eiffel Tower and home too (I lived in Paris for a long while). Great pictures and view there... (On another note, I like the animated gif of Haruhi Suzumiya, hope to see others like that!) Happy vacations!
Late to the party, but I'd like to give my congrats. Seeing Tokyo Tower should be one of the first tasks I do when I go to Tokyo. I could have sworn that it'll be redesigned in five years, give or take a year. Oh and I'm liking this new profile thing. So amusing. Ha ha ha!
sure beats Eifel Tower , hahaha Good To See Your Enjoying Yourself Danny :D
What a view!
My japanese teacher took me there about 1 1/2 years ago. I loved the view! Took so many pictures. Did you find that little crepe-roll place underneath it? Did you try one of those? they rock. [I ended up with the banana/icecream one]
great shots danny! i never went to benihanna's but i heard it was great!
