Tokyo-X-Vario: Shooting Motion and B&W

X-Vario @ 70mm equiv. 1/30th sec F/6.4 @ ISO 3200. Handheld through a window. 

Sometimes you think a shot is impossible. You’re tired. It’s dark. You have to handhold a 1/30th of a second shot at 70mm with no image stabilization. But there’s a really cool looking guy standing very still, obviously waiting for someone along a busy sidewalk. You know it’ll be a great shot from the angle you have (upstairs at a McCafe in Harajuku looking down) if only you can keep the shot still. I took about 10 shots, but this one was the keeper. I’m happy I decided not to give up on the camera and its ability to capture the image that I had in my head.
