栃木市大平山見晴台からの景色です。
眼下に広がる関東平野に積乱雲が多く発生！
青空いっぱいで遠くまで広がる、関東平野を撮影する予定でしたが
さすがにこの雲の多さでした。
しかし高い所から観る積乱雲は、大きさや高さがよく分かります。
そのスケール感がダイナミックに印象付けてくれました。

高尾山薬王院表参道(１号路)

高尾山ちょうど中間地点の車両がすれ違うポイント?
最前列で立ってないと撮影出来ないのでこの日は運が良かったかな?

高尾山薬王院の【手水舎】が花だらけになってたよ
滅茶暑い中登って来て気分的に少し涼しくなった演出だったな?

埼玉は川の国でもあり河川も多く
その利を生かして川面の反射を意識しての撮影

東京都千代田区にある靖国神社で開催されたみたままつりを撮影した1枚です。担ぎ手と神輿が参道の脇にある無数の提灯に照らされて一段と神々しさが引き立てられていました。

Japanese firework festival is widely popular during the summer time. This summer I enjoyed the Todabashi firework festival.

During summer time we can see several firework festival from different part of Japan. In 5th august I enjoyed the Todabashi firework festival Name "Sky Fantasia 東西光宴". It was a real gem for the firework lover. There were around 12000 fireworks with the time span of 1 hour and 30 minutes. I was amazed and overwhelmed with joy. My dream to enjoy Japanese firework came true.

7月23日那須塩原の大沼公園
夏の湿原を撮りに行って来ました。
観光地の近くなので大勢の観光客が来てるかと思ってましたが、
ほとんど人も来てなく、大自然を独り占め撮影し放題！
下手くそながら、気に入った3枚を出させていただきました。
NDフィルターで長時間露光にて水面は滑らかに、
草むらはあえて、被写体ブレでふわふわな感じに撮りました。
それが良いのか分かりませんが、自己満足です。
塩原の大沼穴場です！
