[Photographer's comment]

　Chuo-ku, such as Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Tsukiji, etc., is my favorite shooting place. I will visit you frequently in the future. Thank you very much.

Comments on Judges

　The children playing happily on the jungle gym are powerfully placed in the foreground, and the screen creation of the buildings of River City 21, which symbolizes Tsukuda in the middle view and Tsukuda in the distant view is perfect, and the environment of Tsukuda Park is well expressed. . The red Tsukuda Kobashi is impressive, and the appearance of the mother and child who visited by bicycle also excites the fun atmosphere of the park.

Central Mayor's Award

Title: Cherry Blossom City
[Photographer]: Masatoshi Noto
[Year of shooting]: April, 2016
[Photograph location]: Nihonbashimuromachi

[Photographer's comment]

　The building lit up with the motif of cherry blossoms and the row of cherry blossom trees on the street made the whole area colored cherry blossoms and wrapped in a fantastic atmosphere. It is a place where many people can enjoy spring time.

Comments on Judges

The area around Nihonbashimuromachi is booming with new buildings being born one after another, but this work is a wonderful camera work that captures the scenery of the city beautifully illuminated on street trees and buildings with a powerful screen composition. The light color video featuring the petals of cherry blossoms projected on the wall of the building is impressive, and it seems that the fun feeling of people coming and going through the city at dusk is transmitted.

Title: Dance on the bridge
[Photographer]: Tatsuo Yonekura
[Year of shooting]: October, 2016
[Photograph location]: Nihonbashi

[Photographer's comment]

　Every year, I shoot the Oedo Katsuki Parade, and this year I was thinking of shooting on Nihonbashi, but there were many spectators. However, I was able to wait for the parade in the center of Nihonbashi. As a sparrow dance was performed in front of me, I released the shutter.

Comments on Judges

　It is said to be a part of the Nihonbashi Kyobashi Festival and the Oedo Katsuki Parade, but Sendai Suzume Odori performed in the middle of Nihonbashi. Above all, it is better to aim at the dancers directly from the front while incorporating the statue of Kirin, which symbolizes Nihonbashi, with an accurate camera position, and the bustle of the festival day is transmitted from the horrific gesture and expression .

Special selection

Title: Kabuki-za Theater at night
[Photographer]: Daisuke Nomura
[Year of shooting]: November, 2016
[Photograph location]: Kabukiza-mae

[Photographer's comment]

　Kabukiza is also one of the symbols of Chuo-ku. It is not only the light up of the Kabukiza at night, but the light of the car passing in front of you is also a good accent. The impression was expressed by exposure for a long time. This photo also makes the border line of the pedestrian crossing also an accent.

Comments on Judges

　The illuminated Kabukiza Theater is placed in a neat composition from the front, creating a beautiful world like a stage device. Perhaps it was photographed late at night, or prolonged exposure erases people and cars, and the flow of the car lights excites the gorgeous atmosphere of the night. This is a calculated camerawork victory.

Special selection

Title: Painting of the city
[Photographer]: Naoko Oe
[Year of shooting]: October, 2016
[Photograph location]: Shin-Tomicho

[Photographer's comment]

Shin-Tomicho is located just a short distance from the modern Ginza and retains the old cityscape. It is a place where you can feel the warmth of old traditions and people. I rediscovered the charm of the city in the eyes of the painters.

Comments on Judges

A wooden house that retains its old appearance. There is such a precious atmosphere left near Ginza! It is a good shutter opportunity that allows you to read the serious expression while back from the gestures of the woman sketching to leave the situation. I am also impressed that the construction of the old building and the texture of the wood are expressed in a wonderful tone.
