Title: Airship
Post by: dgpno2 on November 29, 2015, 21:48:17
This scene reminded me of the film Blade Runner. The building is the Roppongi Hills tower in central Tokyo.

We just need to add the Coke advertisements and take down the brightness 3 stops. And let it rain all the time ...

On a lighter tangent, surely must be dangerous to navigate an airship like this in a maze of high-rise buildings.

I'm sure this Metlife dirigible is much, much higher than any of the surrounding buildings.

Terrific shot. I like the framing very much.

Fantastic shot!

Probably easy for a competent pilot, blimps are as slow as any aircrafts could possibly be.

Excellent capture, Dave!  I like some other-worldliness of it.  The gradation of the background is beautiful and effective.

Bjørn - I did think of going that route, but processing time is very short on this trip. I'll take another look at this image when I'm home.

Kim is more-or-less correct - the airship does stay somewhat above the buildings. Luckily, perspective, angle of view and camera position sometimes made the two objects appear very close.

Nice late afternoon catch, Dave. I have noticed that airship hovering around over the last couple of days, but didn't think of photographing it!

Contrasts nicely with the high tech Roppongi Hills building.
