Early Morning Ebisu Walk

The subway was just getting started

I was up early and decided to take a walk around Ebisu and towards Naka-Meguro. It was dark at the start and without a tripod some of the photos were a bit shaky as I was taken 5 frames for each photo to merge in HDR. Maybe next time I should take the tripod.

These were a bit rushed in the cold and without any planning. I might try and find a good place to capture the sunrise with Tokyo scenery in the background. Does anyone know good places?

  • Your getting pretty good at this HDR thing ! Loving it 🙂
    I already commented on one of the shots on Flickr; don’t think about getting a Tripod *smack in the head* totally not needed; just ramp up the ISO as you were still on 200 according to Flickr so you still had plenty of room to go up 🙂 ! The sky is the limit ! Well.. ISO 6400 is the usable limit *lol*

    Keep up the good work 🙂

    • Thanks. Yes, I tried some HDR the other day, but had the ISO around 3200. The results were not very good, too grainy. It looks like the noise in HDR is one of the big problems, so keeping ISO to around 200 is the ideal. I prefer not to have a tripod 🙂

  • For the record, a tripod will also allow you to take long-exposure shots too, which can be useful for making people “vanish” in crowded spaces, or for those washy-looking water shots.
