So I went on the roof  of my apartment last night to take a few shoot. Since it was freezing cold ( 10˚C is freezing cold for Tokyo! ) I’ve bracket every shoot I took to be sure I had one on the right exposure. Then, they all end up pretty well exposed, so I decided to post-process all my shoot into HDR, but I’ve try to stay very subtle and not pushing all the slider to the max. Anyway, tell me which is your favourite!

    Wonderful HDR photos of your neighborhood. I like the #1 best, shows a nice contrast between the suburbs and office areas with the drains leading in. Nice series.

    Yes I live right between Nakano and Shinjuku. I got the best of both world, the proximity of a great downtown area, and the peacefulness of a residential area! Thanks for your comment!

    Very Surreal pictures of your neighborhood. I could swear They look like something pulled from Google Earth or something. The lighting and environment makes the buildings look like 3D or CGI…They have this Video game feeling.

    I must say the 1, 5, 6 are my favorites…Superb photos indeed!

    I have to say that #5 and #6 are definitely my favorite. I like what you did with the HDR in these shots. They feel natural, but like something you'd see out of a visual novel game. I really like the angles as well. =] Definitely think there's more to see in your night shots than in the day. ^_^
