    Tokyo skyscrapers
    Hi all

    Any comments/criticism would be welcome. I shot this yesterday with a fisheye.

    Pretty cool. But the compositions are kind of static. The whole game is in the fisheye and it's not enough. They need another element to add some tension and make them come alive. I would consider these a good experiment - a good test. And now I'd go back with a plan to add something else to the scene in order to make it interesting. I could see a person looking down into the lens, a plane flying over, something thrown in the air. It needs something, though.

    Please consider uploading the photos to the site instead of just linking to them. When you upload to the site you build your own gallery and it helps build an archive of photo posts on the site.

    Ha! Doing some sloppy cut and paste with Godzilla would be pretty funny :)

    Thanks for the responses. Yeah I kinda agree that it needs a little something extra.But what, I don't know. Finding someone to look down the lens would be a little difficult (I do;t fancy having my ugly mug on the pic). I like the idea of throwing something in the air but with an exposure of around 8 seconds I'm not sure the camera would see it all that well.

    Godzilla on the other hand would be easy to do :) I'll see if he's (or is it a she?) busy next Wednesday.

    Good idea about posting the pics in the gallery here. I had forgotten about that.

    Thansk again for the comments
