Skytree Flypast

Since Bunkyo Civic Centre was closed, a last minute decision to head to the i-link Town Observatory in Ichikawa turned out incredibly well with clear skies for the evening and the setting sun intersecting Tokyo Skytree from this viewpoint.

The vantage point from this observatory offers panoramic views of both Mt Fuji and different landmarks in Tokyo - you can see the silhouettes of Yoyogi Tower and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in this frame (along with a few other iconic buildings as well).

We reached the observation deck early and managed to secure a good corner spot to frame our shots before the evening crowd came in. As it was a clear day, we had many local photographers joining us as well, and they all seem to have planned for this shot too - many of them wielding dual camera setups to avoid missing a key moment.

Despite being an enclosed area, it was still cold and windy as the roof allowed wind from the outside to pass through, so keeping our setups stable especially with long lenses was problematic. It was still worth all the trouble though, for this angle that we didn't plan for!
