Arakawa River 03

Posted by Darren (Tokyo, Japan) on 6 February 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Well with 2 photo's of the boat I decided to add the Jetty to the collection.
This was a pretty scary looking Jetty, I can't believe they trust walking on it let alone tie their boats up to it expecting them to be there the next day.
Anyway, hope you like this one.
I wasn't completely satisfied with it so any tips would be good.
Cheers Daz.

Colors are sublime, and the framing is very professional.

@Sidonie: Thanks mate.
The framing has been something I've been playing around with recently.

Jen from United States

They walk on that? I thought it was abandoned!
One suggestion I would have pulled back a bit...but I still like it.

@Jen: They sure do. I do have another shot taken a little farther back. Maybe post sometime in the future.

Totally agree with Sean and Sidonie here. A wonderful shot, Daz. Your processing is improving in leaps and bounds mate.

@Stu: Thanks Stu.
I will keep at it. Now I have a couple of big memory card I'll start to shoot in RAW format to get some better detail.

Duncan Galbraith from kyoto, Japan

Your processing is remarkable. Im going to get on the next shinkansen out of here, go to Tokyo, and watch what you do. See you in about 4 hours.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks Duncs.
When you get here give us a buzz and I'll meet you at the station and on the way home you'll have to show me your secret for capturing people on the train.

Great shot mate, it definitely has character to it. I'd try showing more of the surround scene, maybe include more water in the shot; the way you've processed it is great as usual and certainly suites the subject well.
