Shibuya Crossing and Shinjuku Tokyo

Shot during the end of the Golden Week holidays in Tokyo, Japan, when the streets are full of people enjoying the fantastic weather before going back to work and school.

We shot a few portraits in Shinjuku in the late afternoon before moving to Shibuya Crossing at dusk.

It worked out great at this busy intersection, used a 2 second exposure to capture the people streaming across, and flash to freeze my wife in frame at the end.
