Gyoen Ghost Town
Fishing boats leaving the Tomonoura harbor for the Seto Inland Sea - early morning (Still Point Pool)
Why fight the grain?  Nowadays, everyone wants to reduce noise (grain).  I do agree that sharp and crisp pictures are awesome.  But sometimes, for effect, nothing beats grain. I added grain to this image (if you look below you can see the image on the left is without grain and the one on the right is with grain…zoom in to compare the two yourself).  It helps bring an ancient mood to the image. And speaking of the image, I think I have seen the trailer to Upside Down so much that I decided to not crop this image at all.  For whatever reason, the tree coming in from the top doubly mirrors the tree in the water, double tricking my brain into being confused about what side is up.
Osaka, and really almost any major city in Japan, has so many amazingly jam packed narrow urbanscapes like this that it is overwhelming.  What one should I shoot?  How should I shoot it?  What time?  And that doesn’t even get into how difficult it is to try and capture how cool it is on film.  My solutions: shoot only ones with extra cool things (for me in this shot it was the crab on the right, the Ferris Wheel on the left, and the moon) and go for a distinct mood and look when you print it (I went for a alcohol fused / sleep deprived look with a splash of Blade Runner).
