A Twitter user @hom_fab extraordinarily captures the ordinary Tokyo. He captures the moment of sunset, the neon-lit contradiction, the busy highways, and factories… His recent work, the blood-red moon under Tokyo’s signature building — Tokyo Skytree, brings the fantasy world alive. He manages through these shots to give a whole new vibe to Tokyo, so futuristic!
Strawberry moon and Skytree
The photos of Tokyo Skytree and the red moon was taken in early June was shared by media such as Tokyo Camera Club and Livedoor News. @hom_fab has experience of observing the daily lunar movement, and this allows him to capture this blood orange moon under certain conditions.
