I received a press pass to cover the 2012 Tokyo Auto Salon here in Chiba. I went yesterday as the first day on Friday is always the least busy and best for picutres. I love the Auto Salon as its the worlds biggest car tuning show and really brings out the hardcore in Japan whether it be automotive otaku (nerds/enthusiasts) or idol/race queen otaku. Luckily I am a bit of both. I ts always nice too that TAS is so close to home at Makuhari Messe and I can get there and back in no time unlike trekking out to the far edges of Tokyo.
I brought along my trusty Nikon D5100 and a single Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 lens which I used for all the photos at the show (I don’t use a flash since I don’t own one but I think I should get one). I tried this year to actually enjoy the show more and not get caught up in the battles to take photographs thus less pictures this time around. I covered the 3 main aspects of the show, the cars, the drift event and of course the girls. I’ll start today by posting the girls since I know there are many who look for these photos even before the cars!
So click on the photo below or read more to see pictures I took of only a few select girls of the Tokyo Auto Salon 2012 (there are just too many of them to take). Tomorrow I’ll recap the drift event.
While some of my favorites from last year were not present on Friday, there were still some nice girls around (you can tell by the ones I took more of who I liked! (^_^).
