Honorable Mention / 2021 / Special / Night Photography

Rice field at night

Every year at the beginning of May, the rice paddies are filled with water to begin the cultivation of rice.
When there is no wind, the water becomes like a mirror, reflecting the surrounding scenery.
On the night I took this photo, the air was clear and there was no wind, so the Milky Way was clearly reflected in the sky and in the rice fields.
I look forward to this nighttime scene every year, which I can enjoy for a short time before the rice planting begins.

Born in Japan, age 45.
I started taking photographs as a hobby 10 years ago.
I am happy to have people see my photos on SNS, so I mainly take photos of landscapes in Japan. This has led to a gradual increase in photography jobs.

I have been actively challenging overseas photo contests for several years now.
I would like to continue to freely take what I want to photograph.
