Having been greatly inspired by the previous stories I have read, I have continued to read through many of the f-stop stories at http://www.fstopgear.com. A story that particularly caught my attention was ‘EXPLORING OLD TOKYO WITH THE NEW URBAN SERIES’. I was drawn to this mainly because Tokyo is somewhere that I would love to explore with my camera someday so I decided this would be a good story to read to gain some knowledge from those who have done.

The article has been broken up by the use of photographs taken on the trip. This makes the piece easy to read and also gives the reader a visualisation of what the writer is taking about. I love the composition of the images that I have attached above, these particularly caught my eye when reading the article. I feel that they really capture the culture of the city and the people within it as well as having a beautiful liveliness about them.

I particularly like the black and white image with the break dancer because the tones are really strong and although there are only a few people in the frame, there is still a really big sense of culture throughout it.
