Snow in Tokyo

Snow in Tokyo

We had snow in Tokyo tonight. Normally we get a bit of snow between January and March, but it doesn't normally settle so easily. I expect by the morning this snow will also have melted away and things should be back to normal. It was not so cold out, so I took a quick walk out to see what everyone was up to.

    Wow, Tokyo would totally stop with that much snow. We would be closed for at least a week

    Fabulous pics, and the HDR really does the atmosphere justice. I guess these are all single-image HDR's? Good on you for risking taking your camera out in such awful weather too!

  17. Shibuya Town

    Thanks. Yes. all single RAW. Figured it was going to be too difficult with people moving quickly in the snow. ^^

  18. Stuart Bob Cratchit Jukes

    yeah...I noticed the lack of ghosting. - I'll keep looking out for more ! (Enjoyed the rest of the site too ).
