Fée Délice
Good Crêpes in Harajuku: Fée Délice – as always, over priced cider though :(
Matsuri Faces
Taking the GX85 for a night out. AF tracking of faces works really nicely, even in low light. JPEG are straight from the camera and noise remains ok up to ISO 3000. After that, the denoise produces overly soft pictures. Overall, not too bad for a micro 4/3.
Shibuya Shoot
Girls having fun in the middle of Shibuya Crossing.

Yukata Season
The Yukata season is back – yeah !
Yodobashi Parking

Shinjuku Parking
Surprisingly old parking entrance right next to JR station in Shinjuku.
