Japan - Night Shots, Shibuya District

Part of our tour group went to a mall, and at some point we emerged into this, the "Times Square of Tokyo", the Shibuya District.  Except it's much larger than Times Square.  Another difference is the sense of safety - not once did we feel threatened or that we had to retreat to someplace else for security.  No cops in sight, obviously not needed.

But like New York, it wasn't long before we passed by a professional video in production.  Due to the nature and the kind of individuals involved I concluded that it was a music video, but can't be sure.  Interesting to watch, though.

Technically this and the other images in the district were easy to capture.  Because of all of the lights around, the shutter snapped at an eightieth of a second with the ISO bumped up to 800.  As always, exposure compensation was set at two thirds of a stop on the dark side so the highlights would stay intact.  Because of the gamut of colors, virtually no correction needed here.
