Some photos from Tokyo

[jjcha]

Hi everyone... I'm still a newbie here (and with cameras) but have really enjoyed sharing in the R-D1 enthusiasm and thought I'd share a few photos from my recent trip to Tokyo. Most were shot with the R-D1 and a 35mm Nokton or 12mm f/5.6, but there are a few M8 + 35 'lux photos here and there.

Anyhow, any thoughts, comments, whatnot would be appreciated. Unfortunately, with the new job I just started, I won't be able to spend as much time taking photos or attending photography classes as I have been, but I will say these last 6 months jumping into photography, especially with the R-D1 have been really a lot of fun.

Best,

Marvelous sense of place with those photos. I really enjoyed them. Did you shoot film or digital? If film, what was it?

They bring memories back. I hope you can get to more that the Shinjuku to Ebisu strip on your next visit. Tokyo is an amazing town.

Wonderful work there. I lived in Tokyo for over four years; you've managed to capture life there the way I remember it.

Hi, excellent photos, you excel at capturing movements.

Just a thought, if you remove/replace some of the similar ones, it would make an even better gallery.

Hi all,

Thanks for the very kind comments. I really enjoyed being back in Tokyo (I worked there for about three and a half years) and "seeing" it from behind a camera was a lot of fun. Japan is such an easy/great place to photograph... it's almost like it demands being shot.

shadowfox, thanks for the thought, it is bloated at the moment. I'm trying to figure out which ones I want to keep... but I imagine it should be culled down to like 8-12 or so...

Best,

-Jason

Your series of excellent images brought back memories from my stay in Nagoya a few years ago. I enjoyed the most the sense of motion and when there were back to back images taken seconds apart. Well done.
