Taking some test photos… found an outbreak of Godzilla Plague

On Friday afternoon went out and took some test photos with a colleague who has the same camera, he’s been having some trouble with sharpness so we thought we would do some comparison shots. Anyway, one of the things we took some test photos of was this telegraph pole. It’s pretty amazing how many cables there are, and this is pretty normal for streets in Japan.

Here’s another one, just a bit further down the same road. This is looking towards Roppongi Mid Town from just near Izumi Garden Tower. I actually ended up quite liking this photo, the afternoon sun on the cables and the huge red billboard in that background with Godzilla advertising Kirin Fire – canned coffee.

 

I didn’t really think any more about the billboard, advertising is everywhere here, but then today, we were at Roppongi Hills with some visiting relatives and we went up to the City View on the 52nd floor. It was a really foggy day so not to good for taking photos of the view, I was just going to throw this photo away, but something red caught my eye…

 

It’s a plauge of the huge red and black Godzilla billboards.
