Blue Notes Tokyo Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Tokyo International Forum designed by architect Rafael Viñoly.

Taken from opposite my previous post, handheld shot putting the camera on the handrail as a tripod, at 17:58 blue hour.
As for this time zone, the impression is quite different in only 17 minutes.

Hello Hisashi,

What a great graphical work here! What an explosion of shapes, of light. Wonderful!! The blue is wonderful. The sharpening in post processing very well done. Very pleasant depth and contrast without becoming too obvious.
Very nice one!! Thanks for sharing this beauty!

Greetings,
Dennis

Thats extremely pretty and so colourful. The perspective and the angle make it really very imposing and impressive

kmarscher (2881) 2008-03-14 3:32

Carefully framed shot of this architectural wonder in Tokyo, the lines, shapes, and negative space create movement and a dynamic symmetry. Good idea to use the railing to stabalize your camera and the use of hte super wide angle lens "makes
this shot stunning.

Konbanwa Hisachi-San,

Just to get a photo, I will return to this fabulous architectural realisation. This building left me a great impression and I have a lot of admiration for Japanese architecture. This one is a fine example. The wood wall in the hall is splendid.

You've done a great work here Hisashi. I've visited your gallery this week and I was surprised to see your evolution and your shift of interest. You're not doing architecture photography since very long and your results are very impressive.

This image is magical, and the outside blue hour mixed with indoor lighting is sublime. I think that its the juxtaposition of warm and cold tones that create an ultimate colour palette.

Oyasuminasai.

Perfect capture, Hisashi! The depth is amazing. I feel like I were going through a huge whale's mouth. the exposure is spot-on and the colour combination is striking. Congrats!

Hello Hisashi,

Compare to the previous photo, I prefer a lot this one. First because of the blue outside tones much more present and second because of the central composition which works very well here. There are enough differences between the 2 sides to break nicely the symetry effet even if it is strongly present.

Yves.

marine-coeur (574) 2008-03-14 4:52

Amazing construction,excellent patterns,very good details+colours
well done hisashi.

Asiulus (1066) 2008-03-14 5:13

Wow, great quality and wisely thought composition - no coincidences here. Perfectionist, aren't you?
Congratulations

atsouth (253) 2008-03-14 5:40

hi, v nice symmetric composition, the lighting also looks great with all the warm colors and the blue sky. The vertical format suits this pov much better i think than the horizontal on the previous photo, because the space is long and narrow.

regards

Hello Hisashi

The compositions in your pictures show aspects psychedelics, beautiful and colorful, it is understood that everything is a product of high modernism to be admired live in your country.

I am very pleased this structure, with great depth of field and high illumination. Surely that is a great job, congratulations.

Hi Hisashi,
Wow superb place, it all looks so futuristic and sophisticated, the leading curvy shapes combined with the repetition of reversed ceiling arches give the view excellent dynamism, you realized here an amazing architecture picture !
Have a nice day JY

Bruno40 (6442) 2008-03-27 6:43

Hi Hisashi,
I remmeber giving you a critique some time ago of one of your photos. Since then I have not visited your gallery. Now I can see so many beautiful photos, especially during th eblue hour.
Please forgive me if some day I post some similar POVs!. next time in Tokyo I will try some of those.
I have never been to this building, and it seems impressive. The effect of blue hour and wide angle made this shot amazing.
You've got a really nice work here.
congratulations
jorge

Estelle (2319) 2008-04-06 16:40

Hello Hisashi,

The colours and contrast are great
Well done
Estelle

livinitout (938) 2008-04-14 18:52

Very stylistic. The lights are well managed here and the composition is like something taken out of a futuristic spaceship. Nicely done.

ajayrawat (268) 2008-04-17 4:11

Superb! ... your photos are so graphical in nature. You should try using them for poster art. :D

Dyerco (9304) 2008-04-18 20:54

Beautiful patterns and lines in this image. Interesting perspective using the wide angle lens to create a tunnel like effect.
Well done.

Hello Hisashi, I think you have a natural abilty for these graphic, architectural shots and I really like this one because it has great depth, lots of good colour, the curves are fantastic and fit in well with the vertical and horizontal lines at the sides. It's a very fine capture, from a good perspective and well realised.

Hello Hisashi,
A fantastic architecture picture.
The composition is very good and the colours are really beautiful. I like the contrast between the blue and the (yellow)white.
Also the diagonal structures add to the beauty of this picture.

Hi Hisashi:
Stunning architecture and you catch it from a perfect point of view.
it was not allowed to use the tripod or you didn't carry one?

Congratulations.
