A twister hits Japan!
Our first night out with a new toy we made. We are happy with the results and will probably post a tutorial on how we made it.
We were hoping for a near full but found cloudy skies when we arrived at our first location which was the top of a dam located deep in the mountains. The reason we chose this was because we can access the top of the dam freely with out any security or fences to go through. The thought of a large unprotected dam anywhere else in the world other than Japan is crazy. Usually people are not free to wander around anywhere and especially at night. After a couple shots the skies cleared up and we decided to change locations to a remote mountain temple for a shot with the large torii or temple gate which is the one pictured above. This test shot below was the first at the dam and as you can see the tool we had not quite mastered how to use the tool yet.
Here is the evolution of the shot in terms of composition
I left the camera to sit and capture the control center for the dam as we cleaned up after the shoot and prepared for the next location.
