I took this picture and many more last week in Shibuya. The picture is taken facing South West from the rooftop of the Shibuya Scramble Skyscraper. In the background you can see the silhouette of Mt. Fuji. It was a wonderful experience not only being 47 stories above Shibuya, but catching a beautiful sunset too.
Shibuya is my second home. I've spent so much time there over the past 20 years and it's been wonderful watching it change over those years. Shibuya Sky gives you a unique view of the city. I love looking at these pictures thinking about the clubs I've played in, the buildings that are no longer there and the rooftops that I've never seen before.
The picture was taken on my iPhone 11 with the following specs:
Aperture Value - 1.696
Exposure Time - 1/25
Focal Length - 4.25 mm
ISO Speed - 500
F number - f/1.8
I know there are properties lacking in the photo, like Cerulean Tower(The skyscraper) is a little washed out. This may have been due to me taking the picture through a pane of glass. Most of the rooftop is enclosed by tall glass panels, but there is a helipad in the center that allows you to get above the glass. There is also a small area where the glass is only 4 feet tall, but it gives you a limited angle of the city.
I'll do a post about Shibuya Sky, the name of the rooftop attraction on top of Shibuya Scramble. It has to be one of the most incredible attractions in all of Tokyo.
I'm in the process of turning 5 of the best pictures I took from Shibuya Sky into an NFT series which will most likely be issued on Cardano.
Thanks for reading!
