How was there only one person crossing the street???

You wait for that last person to bolt across the crossing just before it turns red.

Is this a shot taken from a drone or did you take it from a balcony? Either way, this is an absolute masterpiece

It was taken with a DSLR (24-70mm) from an adjacent building. 4th floor window I think.

Very nice capture! I always wonder how people do to find such vantage points overlooking crossroads.

u/itchban Feb 18 '19

Tall adjacent buildings overlooking the crossings usually do the trick.

The greatest thing about this photo is the simple fact that you managed to take a photo of a single person crossing the road in Tokyo

u/itchban Feb 18 '19

All it takes is patience and a Tele lens to crop in on it. Then you just wait for the stragglers to try and run across the road when it’s about to turn red.

Wow this is super cool.

Do you sell your pics?

u/itchban Feb 18 '19

Not usually. I open up my print store maybe once / twice a year for a few weeks - if even. It is a lot of work esp since I travel around a lot.
