ahhhhhhhhhhh   So many pics from the ground, but now the whole thing, is prettier than I imagined.
I have the impression of a gold spider's web, wondering if the circular layout runs back to medieval times...

Thank you for the nice imagery! I do think the street layout harks back to older times, but I'm not sure.

a great way to put your D4 to good use
great aerial picture! knowing how complicated and expensive it is to get permission to fly a drone in the city the helicopter ride might have been cheaper and less complicated
I have to remark that I find the blue hues a little bit oversaturated, in my opinion de-saturating them would help to achieve a nicer orange-blue complimentary colour contrast

burningmonk In reply to da-phil [2016-11-29 12:17:37 +0000 UTC]

Yes, this is the kind of shooting this camera was made for! Low light and high speed!

As for your feedback, thank you! I rarely get constructive feedback. I will try what you suggest on this raw file and see how it looks. I really respect your landscape work so this critique is prized!

I tried it, and see what you mean, but the issue I found is that the rooftops became a gray, which looked more natural certainly. I think it was an improvement in that sense. In any case, it's good feedback to get!

Gorgeous! 
To be able to see it from a bird eyes view, and see the intersection, lines, urban sprawl.

Yes, it's famous for anime/manga culture, so it makes sense that it would be referenced.

Amazing. I thought this was some kind of fractal work at first! I'll never get my head around the size of Tokyo. It's like a country by itself.
