I think it's safe to say this is a view of Japan you don't often see. (They hide it from the tourists; don't want to scare them)
Ok, you've got me, it's not quite real. But it could be! At any rate, this photo is made possible by the use of Hipstamatic for the double and mirror exposures and some editing in Snapseed to add the tilt-shift effect.
One of the most powerful things for any photographer is going on photo walks whenever possible. Ideally once a day, but at least once a week. These are good for maintaining creativity. I don't go with any goal in mind, but I usually do go with a limitation of some kind. This may be to only use my 90mm lens, my Holga, my smartphone, etc. If my smartphone, I may limit myself to one of the more restrictive apps, like Hipstamatic.
The limitations don't have to be method (specific camera or app or lens), they could also be in subject. Go around and only photo green things, or doorways, or men with moustaches, or street signs, etc.
Limitations are good. They get us out of our comfort zone and get us trying new things. And trying new things is a surefire way to avoid photoblock (the equivalent of writers block) by keeping the creative juices going.
On this day, I was limiting myself to my smartphone and Hipstamatic. I put Hipstamatic on the random setting, which means that every single photo will use a random effect. Hipstamatic adds two effects to every shot, one from a "film" and one from a "lens", making quite a lot of potential combinations for the randomization engine to choose from. I dug this one.
Using the random effect adds an element of chance to things. Even if I take a great photo, it might pick a lousy effect and ruin the shot. This is a lot like doing a double exposure on a roll of film back in the day.
If you are a photographer, professional or amateur, I fully recommend taking photowalks with limits. You'll be amazed with the results.
