Indian Bricks

This is just a shot of a pile of bricks at a roadside stop in India between New Delhi and Agra. I had just arrived in India the night before with my business school class and we had a day of leisure before we started our company visits. Talk about overstimulation! We couldn't keep our eyes off of the road...and I guess it's ironic that of all the pictures I took on the road to the Taj Mahal, the one that interests me most isn't shots of camels walking on the road or snake charmers...but a plain old pile of bricks.

Shibuya at Night

I was in Japan a few weeks ago and I spent some time after work one night in the Shibuya area of Tokyo. Shibuya is known for being the hang out for the young. This shot is taking from Hachiko Square, near the main exit to the train and subway lines and the main entry point into the shops, restaurants and other nightlife of Shibuya.

The picture taken below is a panorama compiled from four individual shots I took with my Nikon. I then stitched the photos together using a really nice piece of free software called, Autostitch. All you need to do is take a number of pictures in succession with some overlapping scenes and then drop them into the program and after a while a panorama will appear.

Over the next few months, I will be spending a lot more time in Japan for work. I am taking my camera each time so that I can take more panoramas of places like the Imperial Palace and the Ginza area, etc.

A shot like this really needs to be seen in a much larger size. Download the full photograph by clicking on the image below.
