The Picture of Lines and Curves in Tokyo
This is one of the most photographed spots in Tokyo. The blurred lines, clean colors and the composition make this picture, and in turn this spot, a must if you like photography. The picture is taken on a train looking out of the window at the very end of the train. Because this train is automated train, there is no driver’s compartment at the front nor at the back of the train. Meaning you can either sit in the front of the train or and back of the train to take this picture. Depending on when you click the shutter on this train ride, the composition will change so you will have to ride the train a few times to nail the perfect shot. View below to know the exact location of this spot.
You will have to keep the camera steady either via a table tripod or a GorillaPod once you are on the train. The exposure is of less than two seconds. Depending on the time of the day and the direction of sunlight you will need to adjust the exposure settings. Both at night and during the day can result in epic pictures. It might help if you have some ND filters with you if you are going to shoot during the day.

Like warping into a time hole, the images you get from this location are something out of this world.
Reducing the shutter speed and letting the camera capture the blur while the train accelerates forward you can take a picture like above.
