Cityscapes with the New Camera

January 7th, 2005

I haven’t had much chance to get out as I’m resting up from the whole nosebleed situation, but at least I can take snaps out the window, as I have before. And jet lag, for all its inconvenience, does wake you up in time for the sunrise.

This one was just out the dining room window at sunrise. But then I decided to take the elevator up to the top of the building, where there is a landing which affords much better photos:

This is fully zoomed-out of the Tokyo cityscape from about 20 km out…

And above, this is zoomed in on Shinjuku–but this image is scaled down to fit a 450-pixel width, while the image below is simply cropped. I’ll have to wait for a very clear daytime shot to get the best detail on these buildings. The building at center, by the way, is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.

And finally, a shot of Tokyo Tower and its surrounds. That’s a bridge over the Tama River in the lower foreground.
