Shades of Bladerunner: Shinjuku, Tokyo
I was out with one of my students the other night. We were on our way to the top of the NS Building and found this view from the 13th Floor. The borders top and bottom are actually the window-surrounds. I shot this at about f/7.1 for 2seconds, lens-hood removed, lens flat against the window with my weight pushing against it to brace it still. No tripod? Just improvise!

When I lived in Tokyo I used to take my family to the top of the TMG building in Shinjuku. I never paused to see the view from any other floors; this is nice!

Very Impressive, but shades of Bladerunner ? I was hoping for shades of The Sunset Warrior Trilogy, but I did not expect this Shades of Something I was not. I was never expecting to be as impressed as this, I was impressed i was ever here, but I was not expecting it.
