Akihabara @night series

Posted by Kelly Photography (Tokyo, Japan) on 22 March 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Akihabara or otherwise known as Electric town is home to basically electronic, game and comic stores. It's an Otaku's heaven and so it is mine. It's great to have a look around here because the place is well....interesting. But if you ever want to buy anything I'd suggest another place in Tokyo because the service sucks!!!

I go past this place everyday on the way home and I always see the potential night shots and so decided to take the pics.

I chose the most terrible day ever!!! Not only did the temperature drop it was windy as hell and in the end it started snowing. I was actually taking photos with gloves on otherwise I wouldn't be typing now with the lack of fingers.

Enjoy everyone there's another 4 or 5 pics to come.

I've been messing with gradients of late and some of these are the end result.
