I gave Charles a photo lesson down in Tsukishima on Saturday. Guy and Rob tagged along for the outing as I was also testing-out a new venue for a photowalk I am doing soon. Great neighbourhood, on one of the first islands of reclaimed land in Toky; reclaimed back in 1892. The main street [running across this picture from left-to-right] is known as Monja Street, because of the profusion of monjayaki restaurants [monjayaki is Tokyo's equivalent to the kansai dish of 'okonomiyaki'].

This is an HDR image, from 5-bracketed frames, spaced one-stop apart each. Merged in Photomatix 2.5.4 and then converted to black and white in photoshop, with red channels tweaked to look a little like a deep-red Wratten Filter [normally used for infra-red] had been applied.

I also used the lens correction filter to vertically correct the distortion out of the shot, hence the proximity of the road markings to the edge opf the frame... I should have shot it with more space around them really.
