When I woke up this morning and went out my front door I could see – albeit part-obscured by buildings from our 8th floor flat – the cone of Mount Fuji as clear as I have seen it all year. I knew the sunset would be a good one and sure enough it was. This is taken from the 13th floor roof of our block of flats, just before 5pm this evening and looking towards the Tamagawa area of Tokyo. Nikon D300 / Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 ED
I shot this just a few minutes after the other shot of the same scene on here. The sunset just went on changing colour slightly for a little after this, with the evening encroaching and all the lights in the buildings coming on. Wonderful scene. Nikon D300 / Nikkor 300mm f/4 ED
I was back up at the Bunkyou Civic Centre yesterday, this time with one of my students. The sunset was extraordinary. It was impossible to control the lens-flare as I was shooting straight into the sun for this shot. Five-shot bracketed HDR with very little done to the colour. This is pretty much, apart from a bit of a shift in the tonal contrast, what the scene looked like through the lens. Nikon D300 / Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8 ED / 5-frame bracketed burst merged in Photomatix 2.5.4
