Japan 2011 by quashlo

I know, I know, another photo thread. But I couldn’t resist. I had forgetten what a sensory overload this place is.

Needless to say, I’m in love with my new camera. Enjoy!
I’ll probably be reposting properly through Flickr once I slip out of warp and back into normal time.

Thanks for the comments. Here’s the last few for now, otherwise I will have nothing to post later…

Great pictures. The picture of the dad in his suit with his daughter in the kimono is very cute.

I’m finally back, but I will kick things off slowly, partly because it takes me forever to go through all the files, and that’s with completely skipping any Photoshop editing at all. These are straight from the camera (converted to DNG and then JPEG).

I’ve decided on 1024 × 683, but I will try to keep posts short. I’m mostly posting the better pics, but I may go back after I finish a first run-through to post the more mundane stuff. Also, apologies to any people I captured in my photos… I know there are lots who don’t like their photos taken for various reasons (me included!), but I wanted to take pictures of much more than just buildings and streets.

Otherwise, enjoy!

====================================
====================================

At SFO International Terminal Station, where I bid an abbreviated farewell to home for a while… I certainly wouldn’t be missing BART on this trip.

Connecting flight at LAX. I was a little worried about the arrival time at Haneda with JAL, so I chose AA on the flight over—a decision I ended up regretting to some extent… While there were lots of empty seats next to me and I was able to spread out a bit, the entertainment system was horrible (limited selection and malfunctioning equipment).

After a short few-minutes rest, it was time to re-immerse myself in the raw urbanity of Tōkyō… One of the best places to do that was Shinjuku.

Walking back to Ikebukuro Station:

View from my hotel room in Ikebukuro after surviving a one-stop, rush-hour sardine-can ride with luggage on the Saikyō Line:

Really learned to appreciate why this is sometimes called 最強線 (“The Almighty Line”)…
In reality, though, Shōnan-Shinjuku Line was extremely crowded, too.

The observatory is free, but the views aren’t that great at night.
