Canon 5D mark 4, Tokyo Auto Salon leftovers, sushi and more... #7Days7Minutes (2017-01-17)

No holidays in bali, No shots of my trophy girlfriend's ass to generic house music (Though there are some asses to synth wave), No Lamborghini aventadors (Actually, there is 1), just the mundane reality of my life.

You really want to see me vlog? really? Maybe this will change your mind.

TOKYO AUTO SALON 2017 - Stance & Stilettos - (iPhone 7 Plus) 東京オートサロン2017

The best Tokyo Auto Salon 2017 on YouTube (Even if I say so myself), Shot in 4K UHD on  on the Apple iPhone 7 Plus using Mavis.

This is the one you've been waiting for!

It's that time of the year again, and as in years past, Akihabaranews sent me to Makuhari Messe to capture images of Stanced rides and stilletoed companions . Unlike years past however, My camera was off at Sony for repairs and so I was forced to extract as much as I could out of my iPhone 7 Plus. Much to my surprise, for stills, with clever lighting, it churned out some impressive results.

It wasn't as good at video, but using the Mavis app, controlling exposure, and recording at a higher bit-rate did do some to help the video quality. Add motion and some fancy cuts to help people not focus on the noisy shadows and, as it turns out, something halfway decent can be extracted out of Apple's latest Flagship.

It's not going to be replacing my Sony a7S anytime soon. But for the regular folks out there who are far less worried about quality and aren't quite up at the enthusiast photographer level, I don't see any reason to spend money on any camera.

Tokyo Auto Salon 2017 Wallpapers

Of the 400 odd pics that I whittled the Auto Salon shoot to, These lent themselves well to the 16:9 resolution that most monitors are rocking. It's not the sharpest or best  quality work I've ever taken but considering I was shooting on an iPhone this year. I think the results are pretty good.

Use them or don't use them, It's up to you. 

All images are 4K UHD (3840x2160p) click through the link and save or right-click "save link to".

If you do, I'd appreciate a small comment to say so, but you don't have to if you'd rather not.

If you guys want mobile walls, let me know. I may be able to hook a few up.

iPhone 7 Plus Raw Photos. Tokyo Auto Salon 2017 Preview.

I've been forced to push the limits of my new iPhone 7 Plus while my Sony is getting repaired.

 As with all cameras, RAW is what you need to shoot if you want the most out of your photos. I used Adobe Lightroom mobile to shoot DNGs on my phone and the synced them and tweaked them on my machine.

It's no full frame. But for what it is, the quality I could extract was rather impressive.

 Incidentally I shot these at Tokyo Auto Salon 2017. There are plenty more coming soon.

Tokyo Weekender: Tokyo Auto Salon 2016 Shows Off Its Curves, Leaves a Bit in the Boot for the Future

After sifting through 2500 odd photos, I narrowed them all down 800 odd. I will post a few of my favourite cars and companions here over the next week or so, then put all the pics on flickr after they have been published in the places they need to be published.

First up is an overview of the event published by Tokyo Weekender online:

Tokyo Auto Salon 2016 Shows Off Its Curves, Leaves a Bit in the Boot for the Future

Duet and a sexy wallpaper

Since switching to the macbook, the lack of screen real estate has been a big problem, especially for work. Since i had the old retina iPad I looked into screensharing apps to get a little more space on my desktop. I settle don duet because it works over the USB cable, not wifi, so there is less lag. It does the job. I now have a place to dump my footage library in premier, making editing a little less cluttered. Yes a proper display would have been both bigger and faster... but I'm poor and the app was way cheaper than an actual display.

I've also sliced up a few of my photos to use as wallpapers on it. I reckon you guys might like this one, from the 2015 Tokyo Autosalon, so I'm putting it up. feel free to use as a wallpaper on any device you want. If you wanna do more with it, drop me a line and we can discuss things (I can also give you a better res version).

Cheers

The Ladies of Tokyo Auto Salon - EXCITING GALLERY #1 (AkihabaraNews.com)

The Ladies of TAS 2015:

Of the record-breaking 309,649 people that attended the 2015 Tokyo Auto Salon from the 9th to the 11th of January, a rather substantial portion of them were rocking camera kit that costs more than I made last year. But they were not there to shoot the bold, anti-automotive establishment designs from KRC Modified, or the beautiful tread patterns on Toyo’s new semi slicks - they came for the other staple at car shows: Sexy Ladies.

Intellectually, I’m not too sure I agree with the practice of parading beautiful women around as objects of lust secondary only to the cars themselves, but sports cars are not about thinking with your brain and so...I don’t really know where i’m supposed to go with this.

Editor Reno Interjects: 
Brevity is entirely acceptable here. People didn’t click on this post to bask in the warmth of our journalistic integrity.

You know the drill. click through to AkihabaraNews.com and get an eyefull.

The Rides of Tokyo Auto Salon - BIG-ASS GALLERY #1 (AkihabaraNews.com)

On the Rides of TAS 2015:

This year's Tokyo Auto Salon was held from the 9th to 11th of January. Unlike the biennial Tokyo Motor Show, which is all about showcasing the newest technological developments (translated: how to make driving, quiet, boring, safe and slow), the Auto Salon is all about modified cars; that could mean sticking a V8 into a prius (it was done… and I want to drive it), or it might mean bolting fenders to a lambo because Lamborghinis are boring stock (;p). All the best custom madness from one of the most custom-crazy places on earth was on display.

This year saw a marked increase in non-Japanese cars on the show floor, especially from the bigger houses - it doesn’t help that Japanese automakers seem fundamentally opposed producing any new cool cars that moneyed folk would want to buy. With the exception of the 86 and the GT-R, the majority of Japanese tuned vehicles were the same mid-nineties to early-naughties classics.

It also reflects the state of the tuner market because, increasingly, the only Japanese people who mod are the overly wealthy who buy sports cars to stroll along Tokyo’s Aoyama-dori showing off how well they exploited Abenomics. Or, there are the increasingly poor car enthusiasts who scrape their continually decreasing (thanks to Abenomics) part-timer wages to spend on the 25 year old JDM because parts are plentiful and dirt cheap (and they don’t break).

The funny thing is, out of all the cars on show, the only car I desperately wanted to take home was the Car Guys/Vertex Nissan Silvia S15... Okay maybe the Roberuta Ferrari F40 too.

Editor Reno Interjects: 
Ferrari F40 all the way. No debate. Also, I made Nayalan use the phrase “Big-Ass Gallery” in the title, and I stand by the decision.

Picture galleries are all on AkihabaraNews.com go lookie!

Tokyo Autosalon 2015 - sexy cars and fast women.

I went to Tokyo Autosalon as press this year to take photos, which are going to be published (I'll post them when they are up), but nobody wanted to pay proper money for the vid (nobody seems to want to pay proper money for any content these days it seems). SO I put it on my own YouTube channel. Enjoy.

Tokyo Auto Salon 2015 - A Preview.

I hit up the Tokyo Auto Salon once again this year, and as always it gets better each year. This year I rekindled some old contacts and made some new ones. There is a lot of sifting, retouching and admin, as well as a whole bunch of video editing needed to get all the content ready and out to where it's going to be published, but for now, here is a small taste of what is coming.

Thanks to to the intro of a mate of mine, I also got to to meet and greet the LB Perfomance crew. I also met the man behind all their illustration and graphic design. Who is, like Just about everyone in the automotive world it seems, a really cool guy. I now need to capitalize on some of those contacts and dig myself deeper into the industry. If I'm going to be doing media job, I'd prefer to do them for rev-heads and yankii businesses than the impersonal corporates power-suit suit ones.

2014 Tokyo Auto Salon - The Girls

2014 Tokyo Auto Salon - The Girls, a set on Flickr.

Because much to the dismay of anyone fighting for equality between the sexes, where beautiful cars are on display, beautiful women will be put on display right beside them.

The rational and logical me realises why this is not good for our society... but a tuner show is all about lust and eye-candy.

So feast your eyes!
