Tozai Platform, a photo from 東京, 関東

Photographer's Note

I took this picture on the last working day of office as I was going to it at about 6:45 am.

This was on the Tozai Line Platform in Nakano station. The hour was not early enough as there were still a couple of people on the platform before me :-)

This is my first attempt at wide angle lens photography.

How wide is your lens? I think to make a an even better wide angle lens photo, you need to put something of interest in the foreground, to accentuate it's perspective... otherwise it just looks like it could have been taken with any lens, only you just happened to be standing closer.

For me this is the quintessence of Tokyo daily life : a train platfrom, waiting for the next train. I think you have captured it well.

This is a great perspective shot. I especially like the 4 yellow lines - they remind me of the firing-sight on some computer games. Nicely framed.

Interesting photo - very clear details and well composed. It looks as if there's a slight tilt and I would like to see it with a train pulling in maybe? But a good idea for a wide angle shot.
