Protests in Shibuya
I spend most of today in bed trying to get over this cold. I needed to run out this afternoon to restock my cough drop supply and decided to run down to Shibuya and hit the bank as well. Today’s configuration: Leica M9, Summilux 21mm f/1.4, ND4, 21mm viewfinder, iso160 @ f/1.4 and various shutter speeds. Protest shots were at f/5.6.

Hopefully after a good nights rest I will have most of this cold kicked. I need to get on with my Golden Week. Here is my current shooting list; Yashio, Yoyogi, Harajuku, Kichijoji, Shimokitazawa, Roppongi Hills, Tokyo Midtown, Akihabara, Nagano, Yokohama and Tokyo International Forum. If you have other suggestions, please don't be shy about leaving a comment.
