This is a sunset view of Rainbow Yellowtail taken from the end of Shibaura South Pier. The moment when the sky turned a faint dark blue after the sun went down was taken with a wide-angle 14mm. The buildings in the back were distorted, but it can't be helped because it's a wide angle. I tried correcting it with development software, but it didn't change much.

This is one of the night views of Rainbow Yellowtail from Daiba Park. It was the middle of winter in December, so I took a picture alone in an empty park. Houseboats often pass by, so wait for the moment so that the boat is not reflected I persisted and filmed. On the right, accent with the orange shining Tokyo Tower Rainbow yellowtail is the subject. So that the night lights of bridges and cities can be reflected on the surface of the water to reflect beautiful reflections I cut it out with a long exposure. This place is also my favorite location, and I often visit and take pictures by myself.

This is a photo standing in the morning glow of Rainbow Yellowtail seen from Toyosu. Waiting for the moment when it looks beautiful before sunrise in the early morning when it is not popular I copied it. The sunlight is still weak, so only the PL filter is attached to the lens. This is one of the photos that I took with the intention of taking as beautiful a picture as possible of the orange light reflected in the sea. Since it is taken with a long exposure of 1 minute or more, the water surface is smooth and smooth. It became an atmosphere and a fantastic photo.

This is one of the evening views of the cherry blossom trees in front of the Ueno Grace Park Ninja Pond. The pale light of the evening fell on the cherry blossoms, and it was a very beautiful and soothing scenery. Onlookers who come to see the cherry blossoms are walking happily while looking at the cherry blossoms on both sides. While looking at such a scenery from a distance, I took pictures of the moment when I felt emotion when I saw the people and the cherry blossoms beautifully illuminated by the Sunset.
