It is hard to describe what these blue lights looked like in real life. This photo makes them look almost like a field of glow worms.

Taking photos of the illuminations is a great date course for couples at Midtown.

The main colors of these illuminations were blue and white. I think the white by itself looked a little bit too cold.

The blue lights at ground level made the scenery appear like the ocean.

    Did you see the shooting star effects down by the main complex/tower itself? I thought that was pretty cool.

    I was only out at the back of the complex in the park. I was a bit pressed for time so didn't see the front. Looks like they put on quite a big show. Might go back tonight to see some at Roppongi Hills or Midtown again.

    These were all freehand. I have a small tripod but never take it out with me. Maybe should start thinking about taking it in future. :)

    Thank you. I wasn't sure whether these pictures really conveyed the atmosphere well enough, but am pleased to hear you like them. You encourage me to go take some more. :)

    via @Shibuya246: Tokyo Midtown Illuminations, Japan Photo-Post | Shibuya246 http://bt.io/CJSg As usual a great set of photos. :) All the great colors combined make for a great combination. I wonder why the blue color is so prevalent in usage there?
