On my way back from Qinghai Island, I went to take some night shots! This month the sun was setting early and cars from the island were driving well!
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
The beauty of the light trails emerging in the evening darkness and the cityscape surrounded by the sea is eye-catching. It would be even better if the shooting time were slightly earlier so that the rows of houses could come out a little more.

I photographed the first train on the Sanin Line at sunrise.
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
A train with headlights on departs in the rising sun. A beautiful photo that evokes a sense of travel. It would be better if I could get an angle where the electric wires are not in the way.

3 seats

It was amazing to see them enjoying fishing in the midst of a north wind blowing and rough seas threatening to attack.
Review by Nobuo Shimose, Juror
The feeling of the Sea of Japan on a rough winter day is well captured. The texture of the waves is captured well, giving the viewer a sense of realism. Photo contest flyer tableThe "Nagato City Tourism Photo Contest - Nagato Original Scenery" is open to any theme, as long as the material can best convey the charm of Nagato City as a tourist destination (Nagato, a city that plays on the Japanese spirit of "Kindness"), including natural scenery, traditional culture, events, and food.
