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.

Driver Portraits - Daikoku Parking Area Dec 2016

Those of you who follow my Japanese underground instagram account or follow my facebook page will have seen these, and my previous portraits like them. If it's your first time seeing my [driver portraits] series, the basic concept is that all the cool cars are nothing without the people who build their hearts and souls into them. Everyone shoots the cars, which are just secondary representations. The true creativity, beauty, passion and soul of a vehicle is the person behind the wheel.

If you want to see more of the people that mainstream Japanese society shuns, and the amazing things they do, check out my instagram account or follow my facebook page.

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.

I tried to get this up while I was in South Africa but the slow internets wasn't having any of it. So. Happy New Year, with the last bits and bobs of the old year!

Incidentally, I'm back in Japan.

Daikoku - a petrolhead's Mecca #JapaneseRides

When some mates were over earlier in the year, they rented a sports car and enlisted me as the driver. When you have a couple of petrolheads to show around there is only one place to Take them.

I took too many shots to stick on here... I put the rest on FLICKR.
