Jim Atwood Photoshoot Japan

It was very windy when this shot was taken. I liked the contrast of the lanterns against the temple in the background. I also liked the angles of the lanterns which provides for a more unique shot.

Long Windy Roads Japan are very common in Japan. This is a short video showing what the roads are like on a trip up into the Nagano mountains. The countryside is very green with houses that can be seen in the distant. The roads are narrow with places on the side for cars that need to pull over. There are also large stone structures on the side of the road to keep avalanches at bay which are very common in Japan during the rainy season.

Summer Twilight was extremely fun to shoot. There is a lot happening here and thus the challenge of composition was huge. The selective focusing combined with the background colors and contrast of the leaves made this shot very rewarding for me. I can gaze at this photo for quite a while which for me is what makes photography fun.
