"Postcardable???"

Posted by Kelly Photography (Tokyo, Japan) on 24 November 2006 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

One of my favourite pictures....I took this because I'd just purchased my new Velbon tripod and wanted to use it ASAP. Ok honestly I wanted to look like a pro and this is what came out.

For those who have liked my over saturated over edited pieces I guess you'll really like this one. To give you scope of how big this bay is check out the little people standing near the water.

Not a huge heartbeat piece but I think it's got a little.

definitely postcardable. I love the lights of the buildings and their reflections. If i were you I would crop out the land jutting out on the bottom.

@Kelvin Chan: Thanks mate...I was going to make this a postcard and send it to my brother. Your advice has pushed me to do it.

Nice night shot! I like the reflections on the water and the large sky !

@Still: Thanks, i like the relections too but I wanted the water to be more still but it:s the bay so the chances of that are almost impossible.

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

Sweet shot! I havent tried any night shots with the Kiss x yet. You're definitely getting the most out of it though. Very...very nice!

@Stu: You:ll love the quality of night shots with the X mate!!! It:s got unbelievable quality just make sure you use the tripod and timer or remote.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks mate!!! Your last photo was a corker super funny!!

Matt Trujillo Photography from Portland, United States

Nicely done. Rotate the horizon to 0 degrees horizontal, and you've a postcard. Also, I like the land on the bottom, as it gives the viewer something to "stand on", and lends the context that the entire bay is in the shot.

@Matt Trujillo Photography: You:ll have to excuse me as I:m pretty new to all this photography stuff but what does *rotate the horizon to 0 degrees horizontal* mean?? If you could help me I:ll give it a go. Thanks.

Darren Halliday from Toyko, Japan

Stunning bridge shot. Very cool indeed. Do you know the name of that bridge? Is this shot near Tokyo?

Laurie from United States

This is indeed lovely...I think what Matt means is that the horizon is ever so slightly crooked and can be straightened by rotating it a bit.

Blain from Toride, Japan

Ah yes, the famous rainbow bridge. You sure picked a great angle to shoot this from. Love the composition. I'm gonna post a similar shot in a few days. You're lucky you got the Kiss X; I bought the N, and then about two months later the X came out :(

Oh man! You got lot os stuff covered in this shot.

Dan from New York, United States

Definitely postcardable. However, it would've been nice to see the lit up bridge not in the center like that

26 Nov 2006 5:27pm

Michael Zhang from New York City, United States

I agree, this is a beautiful city night shot. I especially like the cloud pattern overhead.
