i know you have heard this time again, but thanks for the shot. i live in la and it is good to see the sun rise in the land of the rising sun. maybe some day i will get to go and see it for myself before i die. haha!(^.^)
Great video and some very interesting lense flare. Good move buying a tripod to save on those fingers. Thanks for sharing Tokyo's first sunrise of 2008 with us!
Thanks for your kind words, even though I was shooting it with just a regular shirt-pocket digicam (with a simple digital zoom video function). Plus, I MISSED the actual sunrise (aiming in the wrong direction!). Duh ! :-)
Speaking of videos, yours has been very well received by my Japanese university students.
Wow, summertime in Japan is magical...lots of festivals and fireworks shows. And there's always a beach somewhere nearby. Check out the English-language site metropolis dot co dot jp to stay abreast of the latest happenings.
Well...compared to the snow country of Minnesota, I guess I should stop complaining about cold Tokyo. At least we haven't had any of the white stuff so far this winter. Yee hah !
Happy 2008 to you....the Year of the Mouse. May all your dreams come true !
It's pretty quiet here right now...the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd of January are national holidays, so almost all stores and businesses are closed. Good time to travel locally by train or car as there's not much traffic. But TOO cold !! :-)
Wow, same to you ! I have visited your beautiful country many times...Vancouver, Lethbridge, Waterton Lakes Natl. Park, Calgary, Banff, Moncton, the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia, and even had a roommate from Toronto here in Tokyo.
Hey Gary thanks for the comment and yeah it is very cold here too in Canada and I see you have visited Canada many times but have you been to Edmonton Alberta that's where I am from. One day wish to visit Japan and I heard it is a very beautiful Country to visit too and again have a wonderful new year!
Ah-hah! Oiler country. No, never been that far north. We had some Oilers in my hometown of Houston, but they split for Tennessee several years ago and became the Titans. Traitors ! :-) Yes, this country is breathtakingly beautiful, but I haven't seen anything yet that comes close to the Canadian Rockies. Check out the mountain photos on my home page. I've climbed all of the 18 highest peaks in Japan.

Well at least you had a sunrise! I was very disappointed that I didn't get a sunrise for my vid. :(
Great to hear you've shown the vid to your students and I'm glad they like it. Thanks! Consider me subscribed :)
