Behind The Lens

Location

Taken from a bridge across the road above the train station in Shibuya.

Time

Taken early evening, as workers where starting to leave their offices.

Lighting

Just a slowish shutter speed of 1/50sec with large 2.8 aperture and iso pushed up to 400.

Equipment

It was shot using my old Sony A55 using a Tamron SP 17-50mm lens.

Inspiration

Tokyo has a great photo opportunities everywhere you look, this iconic crossing is probably one of it's most well known landmarks.

Editing

Just a small amount of HDR effect added using Lightroom v5.7 along with lens compensation and cropping.

In my camera bag

I have just bought a Sony a7ii, this along with a Sony a6000

Feedback

Go to Tokyo and start taking photos!
