Night time shenanigans











Its freezing cold, there are people everywhere and its time to meet Lukas for a night photography tour. The instructions are very detailed and I manage to arrive without getting lost. In the busiest train station in the world with 36 exits and 5 levels I was very surprised. We set off and travel to overpasses, underpasses, little alleys, back on a train down to Shibuya all the way snapping. There are 6 of us all with different cameras and ideas, Lukas effortlessly helps us figure out all the dials and controls on our cameras. He even manages to point out where another Invader is nearby and I run off and score it. Another plus is I get to warm up a bit running back up the stairs to the group. But like all tours the best is kept till the end, we are lined up at Shibuya crossing. The lights change we race for to a manhole, drop to our knees and shoot the pedestrians coming towards us. The pedestrians behind merge it is like being in the middle of whirlpool. The countdown starts and Lukas yells time and we run back to safety, all puffing and laughing as we go. Lukas checks our shots makes some adjustments and we do it again, this time a bit more death defying and its a very close call!
