Twilight at Meiko Triton

The shooting location is a cable-stayed bridge in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
It is situated 15 minutes by car from my home.
The name of this bridge is Meiko Triton.
Meiko Triton is the collective nickname for three cable-stayed bridges: Meiko Nishi Ohashi, Meiko Chuo Ohashi, and Meiko Higashi Ohashi.
On that particular day, I used an ND 10000 Filter for long exposure photography to enhance the bridge’s appearance.
The faint clouds drifting during twilight added to the overall effect.

I have taken photography since 2009.
My main subjects are various landscapes in Japan.
The landscapes I photograph are mostly nature, and I mainly shoot nightscapes, early morning views, waterside views, views with Mount Fuji, and cherry blossom trees.
When the subject is a natural landscape, I repeatedly shoot the same location in spring, summer, fall, and winter, even for many years.
While I visit famous shooting spots, I like to find my own unique shooting spots that no one else knows about.
I want to continue to discover various landscapes of Japan in the future.
