Shinjuku at Dusk

-Paul — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 02:22:55 +0000

As I have mentioned before the view I get of Shinjuku is just too good not to photograph some days. This was taken last Sunday at 4:48pm. It is a series of 3 photos stitched together with PTGui. Taken with a Sony DSC R1 camera, ISO160, F3.2, 1/25 exposure. All colors are original, no funny post processing at all.

Looking out my window in Japan

Shane from Nihon Sun has asked the Japan blogging community to post images from their windows. The images I am posting are all from my lounge room window looking towards Shinjuku. I love the view from my window and often find myself on the balcony at all sorts weird times, sometimes in the freezing cold to capture what I think is a good photo. Sometimes they are, but more often than not it is hard to capture what I see. I don’t think I will ever get tired of “Looking out my window in Japan”.

5 minutes: Shinjuku to Kabukicho

-Paul — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 23:53:27 +0000

Today I’m starting a new series called “5 Minutes”. With the recent purchase of an Xacti HD800 video camera and more than enough interesting things happening in my daily life I have decided to capture some of the more interesting moments and share the with you 5 minutes at a time.

The first video in the series is a walk from East Exit of Shinjuku Station to the top end of Kabukicho. Although it was a little dark you can still see a couple of popular landmarks and one of my favorite shops selling maid costumes, you will even catch a glimpse of a somebody you may know.

Night Time HDR Image

This is my first attempt at a night time HDR Image. No surprise as to the subject I used, the great view from my balcony looking at Shinjuku that I have taken and posted about many times before.

After trying various software products I decided Picturenaught was the easiest to use and yielded acceptable results… and it is the right price….free….

I have uploaded the uncompressed original to my .Mac site
