EXIF Info

Remember that if you zoom in on any photo to jump to the SmugMug version you can see all the EXIF if you click the little “i” in the lower right. For example, this was shot with the 90mm prime lens on the Hasselblad X1D.

Daily Photo – Tokyo Tower

I can’t ever figure out if I like this tower or not. At night it looks coolest with a bright red glow. It sort of looks like the Eiffel Tower, but I wasn’t sure if it was bigger or smaller. So, I googled it! It turns out that the 90m antenna atop made it taller than the Eiffel by 13m. That is a surprise because the Eiffel just feels taller. This is probably because there are no tall buildings around it like in Tokyo. Another interesting factoid is that the Tokyo Tower weighs about half of what the Eiffel Tower weighs (Tokyo is 4,000 tones which is 3300 less than the Eiffel).
