The towers supporting the bridge are white in color, designed to harmonize with the skyline of central Tokyo seen from Odaiba. There are lamps placed on the wires supporting the bridge, which are illuminated into three different colors, red, white and green every night using solar energy obtained during the day.

I wonder why during that time the 'rainbow' effect had not appeared. Either we were too early or late. :D

Shot taken without using a tripod. Cam was handheld and at the same time placed on the viewdeck's guard rails for additonal horizontal support.

I was invited by Shaffie to be a volunteer photographer for this year's Utawit, a singing competition for Filipinos in Japan.

This is Tokyo's Mariko Kizuka, who sang "Ikaw ang Lahat sa Akin".

For me, she's the prettiest among the contestants. ;)

I am fond of taking candid pictures; of strangers and friends. I use a mid-telephoto (50-150mm focal range) lens for these type of shots; quite fun always doing it in stealth mode.

Kate was a fellow volunteer photographer for the Utawit event, a singing competition for Filipinos in Japan. She and Rance (another volunteer) had just arrived from our spot when I took this picture.

I saw this old man pop up on one of the building windows across the street. He wanted to breathe some fresh air, at the same time some bad ones too.

'Twas raining in Shibuya during that day (and night) and so, I was shooting in the shade.

Bokeh is an effect in photography referring to the blurring out of unfocused subjects.

Went to Shibuya for some random street shooting. Unfortunately, it rained, but I guess it added some flavor to the scenery.
