Comment from the judge, Professor Ryusuke Ito
Professor Ryusuke Ito
It was a year when I was forced to refrain from traveling and going out, but it was a contest that made me feel the great charm of the four seasons I met in the photos.
I hope that the social situation surrounding the new coronavirus will improve over time. In the 2021 contest, I hope that you will be able to see the many masterpieces produced by jumping out into the four seasons of Hokkaido again with a "new eye".
Professional photographer teaches! Expressway photography techniques
Advertising photo studio foto-f8 representative
Expressway can be confusing as to how to cut it, unlike landscape photography, which expresses the beauty of nature. Therefore, we interviewed Mr. Yasumasa Otaki, a professional photographer whose life work is railway photography. I was taught the points and techniques to be careful when shooting.
<Points at the time of shooting>
Adjust colors for more dramatic shots
Create a well-balanced composition by changing the angle
Read and control the light
Check the dedicated site for details! We also introduce techniques that can be used with smartphones and compact digital cameras.
Thanks to you,
It has been 50 years since the Expressway
It has been used by many people for the last half century.
With the heartfelt gratitude to all of you,
Aiming for a safer, more comfortable Expressway
The vast land and the future.
