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.

CP+ rant, Miso Ramen, plum blossoms and more... #7Days7Minutes (2016-02-22)

It's been a while since I've vented frustrations on this vlog, but what's a vlog, if not a place to vent. I make up for it with scenic shots of places no other J-vlogger will show, and some bonus CP+ fanservice to make up for it though.

Bringing down property values #JapaneseRides

I like seeing rough rides on the sterile streets of Tokyo, because, more often than not, they are driven by those bent nails that refuse to be hammered down by Japanese mainstream society. One day, very soon, I will, once again, rumble down the boring boulevards in my S14, a blight on my surroundings, a stiff middle finger to convention, free from the impositions of the herds of sheeple on their cattle-cart trains.

Pagan metal, Cyberjapan dancers and slices of Tokyo #7Days7Minutes (2016-1-18)

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:

Halloween in Shibuya - The craziest halloween street party on Earth! #RandomJapan

Raw footage of the insanity that unfolded in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan on Halloween in 2015. Eseentially, it's the craziest Halloween street party on earth!

Holding Godzilla's Leash #JapaneseRides

Of the thousand odd shots I took in Shibuya on Halloween night, This one is probably my favourite. Not because a good looking woman is driving a GTR, but because the non verbal interception we had after I took this shot showed me that same pride in her ride that I feel when I drive mine. She recognised the driver in me and she understood that I knew and respected the driver in her. She sits in the best seat in her universe and at her whim she can unleash, and direct Godzilla's fury at the road ahead...

This socially-engineered pedestrian existence is killing me. I long to be behind the wheel of a sports car again.
