Behind the Yellow Line [Special Effects Man Made Things]
Uploaded: January 10, 2006 05:51:09
1/15, f/5.0, ISO400, desaturated and contrast increase in PS.
The famous Yamanote Line train pulls out of Shinjuku Station, Tokyo as I stand cautiously behind the yellow line.
The Yamanote Line runs in a loop around Tokyo and defines the metropolitan area. With 29 stops it takes 57 mins to complete a loop. These trains come every 3 mins from first train at around 5am to last train at 1:30am.
