The Shibuya area in Tokyo is a photographer’s dream! These ever-changing black-and-white glass blocks are located in the Shibuya Stream Building. While always black and white, the glass blocks are constantly changing in their uniform patterns and balance of black and white. It’s a semi-circular backlit glass wall in an interior passageway. To create the double reflection, I laid my camera on the shiny black granite floor and waited for an interesting person to walk by Despite our group utilizing no tripods, shortly after I captured this image the security guard ran us out of the building! Post-processing in Lightroom, Photoshop, On1, and Luminar.
