Crowded Commute
Rush hour in the evening in Shinjuku.

Electronics & Maids
Little sunday stroll among the electronic shops and maid cafés of Akihabara. Even though Akihabara has changed quite much with its little electronic shops disappearing and maid cafés multiplying, there is one thing that does not change : the otakus !

Avid Reader
Was interesting seeing this guy taking magazines one after another from his bag, and reading them with an obvious display of concentration : plains, trains, even buses :)

Nozomi Experience
Shinkansen ride back and forth between Tokyo and Okayama. Why Okayama ? Closest stop for Naoshima :) Also a good opportunity to try shooting a video with my 5D mark III. Not too bad but not too good either : visible distorsions (Jello Effect) on nearby objects when reaching 250km/h.

Fascinating Captain
Commuting with JR in Tokyo can be fascinating (and not only for a 5 years old as pictured above). There is often a large glass at the back of the driving cabin, allowing passengers to see what’s happening in the cabin, as well as the train tracks.

Iidabashi on Fire
Apparently, a cable caught fire near the train tracks in Iidabashi. No more sobu-sen and chuo-sen for a few hours as a result.

Tokyo Monorail
One of the random shots I took while driving back from Kamakura. Not bad, no ? I especially like the tilt and vibrant colours ! There’s a stretch of the highway running in parallel to the monorail and I’ve always wanted to take a photo… Mission accomplished :)

E5で行こう
Advertising for the Tohoku Shinkansen Hayabusa service. According to JR, on March 5 2011, the new Hayabusa Series E5 Shinkansen trains began service on the Tohoku Shinkansen Line between Tokyo and Shin-Aomori. The Series E5 Shinkansen lead car features a unique extended-nose design, and the train exterior proudly boasts the JR East green and white ...

In a Japanese Train
Sobu-sen during a national holiday : unusually not crowded in the morning. The images a 16-35mm produces never cease to amaze me !

Best Shot of the Day
Trying to find my iPhone in my jacket… The 16-35mm always produces fantastic results !

Short Skirt Long Socks
Haven’t used the filters in Lightroom for a while !

Commuting in Tokyo
Thought it could be interesting for you to see how it looks like to commute in Tokyo’s metro (slightly after 9:00 to avoid the crowd), so I carried my camera and randomly shot ~300 photos… here are the most interesting ones, enjoy !

Waiting for her train
Very nice bokeh as always with the 135mm/f2.0L !

If you’re in Tokyo and don’t know what to do for the weekend, I would recommend a visit to the Railway Museum in Saitama. More Images »

Shinkansen
Getting away from Tokyo for a few days. Hope to look back and think it was useless.
