Gundam-headshot HDR

I am not really that interested in Gundam, but I was somewhat interested in the construction and display of an 18 metre, 35 ton, 1:1 scale replica of Gundam that was at Odaiba as part of the Green Tokyo Gundam Project from July to the end of August. I went over in early August to take some photos, but it was so crowded and so hot I only took a few and beat a hasty retreat. I happened to be free on September 1 (which was the day after the “Project” ended), so I thought I’d jump over on the ferry and get a few better shots (or witness the start of the dismantling if it had already begun).

There was still quite a crowd, including a few members of the media, either getting in their last shots or wanting to also document the dismantling. I took a few photos for some HDR fun (like the photos above and below) and made a little video:
