About the Image(s)
Shibuya Crossing
It is in the very center of Tokyo and next to the Shibuya station. The main image was taken from the south side of the crossing. It is one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in the world, and perhaps it is the most iconic symbol of the city of Tokyo. It has been estimated that over 2.4 million people cross Shibuya every day. With its large advertising screens and heavy foot traffic, it is often compared to the Times Square intersection in New York City and Piccadilly circus in London, and it is seen as representative of the ultra-modern image of Tokyo. One of the moat popular spots to watch this flood of pedestrian’s is from the second story of the Starbucks cafĂ© located in the north side of the crossing and seen in Original. There is always a line of people to get in.
The image was created using a Nikon D5 with the Nikkor lens 24-70 mm f/2.8 @ 40 mm and these settings: ISO 4000, f/8 and 1/30 sec. The image was PP in LightRoom, Denoise applied, and cropped.

But I thought, cropping f/g by one inch & adding contrast can make the image more interesting. Pardon me, if you disagree   Posted: 02/06/2025 03:54:21
