crossing the light

One thing that particularly impressed me (as a German) in Tokyo, was the speed and efficiency in which the railroad crossing gates came down, the train crossed and the gate was fully open again in less than a minute. The relatively high frequency of trains also meant I did not have to wait too long for this shot.

 

It was a 2 seconds handheld long exposure at 12mm (24mm equivalent). Shooting handheld long exposures with the Olympus cameras feels almost like cheating.
