Rubberneck syndrome

[Akira]

All images were shot in Ginza, Tokyo.  D750, AF-S24/1.8G, no images were trimmed.

[Peter Connan]

Great series!

Either your neck is better than mine, or you are using the D750's tilting screen to great effect.

[Andrea B.]

Very interesting as a series. Cool play on textures & geometry.

I have that lens now. I will try to put it to the same good use as you have shown here. "-)

[Akira]

Thanks for kind comments!

Peter, I used the OVF exclusively.  Even though the subject is static, I prefer the fast shutter lag using OVF over the tilting LCD.

Andrea, the lens is so inspiring, which is more important to me than the excellent image quality it offers.

[Jacques Pochoy]

Great pictures, showing a variety of facades ! 

[Jakov Minić]

That's a lovely series Akira.
You certainly use your gear well!

Akira

Very nice series!

I'm not sure the last building fits with thee other very modern architecture , also the light looks different, probably just for the lack of reflective surfaces

Do you warm up your neck before this sessions?

[elsa hoffmann]

lovely series - and well captured
I would have fallen over

[Akira]

Thank you, folks, for stopping by and commenting!

Jacques, the buildings newly built recently in Tokyo have interesting facades.

Jakov, I hope so.  I love the AOV of 24mm!

Armando, your notion makes sense.  But, the images were intended as parts of the set, and I thought the old building would give a nice variation to this series.  Also, Ginza is a popular place of tourists for shopping, and I thought "rubberneck" is a fitting title.  It was pretty hot yesterday, so I didn't need to warm up. 

Elsa, LOL!  You would then need to carry a large cushion!

[Bruno Schroder]

Nice variety in texture, Akira. The first one with the 2 protruding poles made me think of a stealth Star Trek ship

[Akira]

Bruno, thanks!

The facades of most modern buildings indeed look like the surface of some SF starships. 

[Longhiker]

Delightfully dizzying (a valid word?). Lovely lines and graphic depictions.

I have had similar neck-workouts myself, but maybe not so many on the same day. I hope your neck isn't too sore. I like the first one best, with all the intersecting lines. But also the third with all the crossing diagonals.

[Akira]

Bob, thanks for the comment.  Yes, that makes prefect sense. 

Kjetil, thanks for your concern.    I liked the steep perspective which compresses the patterns of the facades and gives completely different look to them.

[Tom Hook]

Akira,

Interesting way to look at these buildings from the bottom up.

Also, the first four are so contemporary and the fifth offers a nice old fashioned contrast by comparison.

Well done.
