| Tokyo Metropolitan Building |
Tokyo, Japan one of the largest cities in the world, with a population of over 13 million people; this is a city that has something for everyone. During my two week adventure, Tokyo was my base of operation. I ventured out and returned to Tokyo. If I had the time I could have stayed in Tokyo for two weeks and wouldn't have skimmed the surface on photographic opportunities. Districts like Shinjuku, Harajuku, Roppongi, I could go on and on.

| Hie Shrine Torii |
Before my trip to Japan I purchased a Gorilla Tripod to use, when I wanted to lighten my load, and bring just a camera and one lens. I didn't remove it from its' original package but should have. One day I decided to take a trip to the Hie Shrine. When I reached my intended destination, I took my Gorilla Tripod out of the package and realized it didn't have an attachment so I could mount the camera to it. Without my tripod it was going to be difficult to shoot certain scenes. Even with an image stabilizing lens holding the camera by hand just wouldn't produce a photo that was acceptable. One particular scene I wanted to shoot was the long tunnel of Torii. Without my tripod I sat the camera on the ground, set the timer, but I still needed to tilt the camera forward. Because I had to tilt the camera by hand this was very unstable and produced some shake. The photo of the Torii I included in this post is not what I envisioned. Unfortunately I missed out on an opportunity to produce a quality photo. I'm not sure why the company that manufactures Gorilla Tripod doesn't include the necessary attachment to mount the camera on the tripod, but whenever I buy new equipment, whether Hi-Tech or Low-Tech; I will ensure it has all the necessary gadgets that are needed to operate that piece of equipment. "I Learned From That".
