Honorable Mention / 2024 / Nature / Sunrise / Sunset

Finale

Captured a sunset view from a hillside in Japan. The hill was covered with plants called kochia. The color of kochia had turned from green to scarlet which is the autumn color of it. In the late afternoon, as the sun went down, the hill glowed in the light. This fleeting view looked like the finale of Japanese autumn scenery.

I was born, raised and resides in Japan working as an electronic engineer.
I always brought my camera as I traveled and enjoyed taking photos. By the time I knew, I was very much into it buying better cameras, lenses, and pursuing it. Especially focusing on capturing the beautiful four seasons in my mystical land of Japan. I get the thrills every time I capture the evanescent beauty of the nature which will forever live in my work.
So now, photography is not just my hobby, it is definitely a big part of my life and I will continue shooting the photos that are hopefully ‘evocative’ to many.
