Odaiba Ferris Wheel
Made by Extra Medium
So many great photographers have long exposure shots of ferris wheels going around at night. This was my first time I had the chance to do one, and... no tripod. It was safe at the hotel. I didn't feel like bringing it with me to the recreational island of Odaiba which is a short 10 minute train ride out of the city, which hosts a bunch of museums, malls, fun centers, a Toyota museum and Pallete Town, with this 115m ferris wheel. Here it is in the Large version for my friends and random people that might trip over this So I set my camera up on my camera bag and used my sweater to get the proper angle and then did a hand-held minute exposure to get this. Not bad for not using a tripod. Exposure: 73 sec (73) Aperture: f/14 Focal Length: 17 mm ISO Speed: 100 Oh yeah, and I'm finally home now. And after taking a nap, took the family to Round Table Pizza, which is the most American food I could think of. After a week+ of eating noodles, sushi, curry, rice, etc... it was nice to eat something you could actually sink your teeth into.


The Hearbeat of Venus
Made by YST (aka kryptos5)
Fort Venus, a shopping mall with a Venetian touch. It has a ceiling that gradually changes from a clear blue sky to an orangy one at dusk and to a dark starry night sky. Couple that with the European frescoes - you've got a romantic dating spot. In fact, it was chosen as a lovers' sanctuary in the year 2007. Yeah, true enough, it is the best shopping mall I've been to in Japan. I thought they were all crampy. And while I was checking up the official site of Fort Venus just now, I discovered this. Look at the photo again. See the inverted pyramid right on top of the fountain? Supposedly, there's a heart shining in pink. You can't see it because it is hidden. But there's one spot from where it is visible. Those who can spot the heart will be blessed by Venus. Blessed, exactly in what way, I don't know. But oh, what did they call her? The goddes of love? Dang, that's motivation enough for me to pay the place a second visit. Who knows I might get a heavenly-sent angel by 14 February!


What's Your Colour?
Made by YST (aka kryptos5)
Cosmo Clock 21 at Yokohama, Big-O at Tokyo Dome City... It sounds as if the Japanese are a bunch of ferris wheel maniacs, doesn't it? Oh, should I also add that they're obsessive with rankings too? This one was voted as the ferris wheel with the best night view in Japan. (Number two comes Cosmo Clock 21.) In addition, it's supposedly the biggest ferris wheel in the world. I love those colourful carriages. Doesn't the ferris wheel resemble a gigantic rotating colour palette? What could be a more fitting landmark for Palette Town, eh?


Tokyo - Odaiba: Toyota Megaweb - 1957 Toyota Corona ST10
Made by wallyg
In the 60's and 70's, the sales rivalry between Toyota and Nissan was symbolized by the Corona-Bluebird battle. Toyota had developed the Corona ST10 in 1957 to compete with the popular Nissan Datsun 110, which later developed into the Bluebird. The nickname, Dharma Corona came from the rounded exterior. Toyota Mega Web is a giant Toyota showroom that shows off all of Toyota’s latest models, car accessories and technologies. Attractions include test driving of cars (valid Japanese driving license required), a driverless car ride, and a museum exhibiting cars from past decades.


New Year Taiko Performance
Made by YST (aka kryptos5)
5 weeks left till thesis submission deadline. I suppose I wouldn't have much time for photos these few weeks... despite having gotten my 60D! My initial plan was to let it have its debut this weekend. But unfortunately, that'll have to be postponed. Till then, I'll be uploading some shots taken last week. This photo was taken in front of Venus Fort, Odaiba. It was New Year's Day and I was there just in time to catch a taiko performance. This is one of my first shots taken with my new lens, EF17-40mm F/4.0 L. 40mm F/4.0, 1/200, ISO200.

Tokyo_16 Salone dei giochi a Odaiba
Made by Viaggiatore Fantasma
Non vi è angolo del Giappone ove non si trovino sale giochi, grandi o piccole che siano. Il rumore assordante delle macchine, i colori sgargianti, il continuo via vai di gente rendono questi templi del dio denaro luoghi dal fascino ipnotico e perverso al tempo stesso.
