Recommendation

Chuo-ku Tourism Association Chairman's Award

Title: Red bridge and white rabbit
[Photographer]: Kazuo Tanaka
[Year of shooting]: October, 2017
[Photograph location]: Tsukuda

[Photographer's comment]

　When I saw the red bridge, white rabbits and apartments on the clean waterside of Tsukuda Island, I rushed out of the camera. While praying for the white rabbit not to fly, I released the shutter every time the standing position changes. I think it was about 40 minutes in time, but thanks to you, I was able to take a picture as intended. Next year, I plan to go to Chuo-ku to enjoy new encounters (people and landscapes).

Comments on Judges

　A white rabbit that flew down to Tsukudabori, captures the opportunity without missing it, and the camera work that has a strong composition and has a rich color tone. The blue sky and skyscrapers reflected on the surface of the water are described as tinted by ripples in a color like oil painting, and red bridges and white rabbits jump into the eyes in a neat composition. It is a high-quality work.

Title: Crossing the Eitai Bridge
[Photographer]: Seiichi Minegishi
[Year of shooting]: August, 2017
[Photograph location]: Eitai Bridge

[Photographer's comment]

　After the mikoshi gathered in Shinkawa took a break, a large number of bearers are crossing the Eitai Bridge while watching the mikoshi toward Tomioka Hachiman.

Comments on Judges

　It will be photographed from the top of the building. It was a success to find this place. Taking advantage of the portrayal effect of the telephoto lens, the bold framing that captures the row of mikoshi traveling along Eitai Bridge and the people who just overflowed from the bridge into a huge bridge is accurate, The bustle of the festival day is transmitted straight, including the appearance of many people who continue to.

Title: Sumida River where seagull dances
[Photographer]: Iwagami Gyotoku
[Year of shooting]: February, 2017
[Photograph location]: Kachidokibashi

[Photographer's comment]

　When winter comes every year, a lot of Japanese gulls come to the Sumida River and dance.

Comments on Judges

　Boat tourism seems to be flourishing year by year, but this work will be feeding on the observation deck of a sightseeing boat going through the Sumida River under fine weather, the flock of seagull flying around the boat is chasing the boat, and the buildings are lined up on both sides, creating a large scale landscape.

Title: Sakura Nihonbashi
[Photographer]: Takeshi Morita
[Year of shooting]: April, 2017
[Photograph location]: Nihonbashi

[Photographer's comment]

　It has been around Nihonbashi since commuting to Nihonbashihoncho in 1960. The row of cherry blossom trees will grow brilliantly, the number of buildings will increase, and it will be a better city. Looking at the Nihonbashi River from a boat, I took a picture of cherry blossoms and Nihonbashi just before disembarking.

Comments on Judges

　Did you photograph it from the boat? An angle I've never seen so much before. Nihonbashi, under the Metropolitan Expressway, retains the old atmosphere. The camera eye, which contrasts old and new buildings, is fresh, and the stone structure on the side of Nihonbashi is depicted in a natural three-dimensional sense, depicting the calm spring atmosphere with cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Title: Ginza Street
[Photographer]: Tsuguo Ito
[Year of shooting]: August, 2017
[Photograph location]: Ginza Street

[Photographer's comment]

　When a foreign media posed in Ginza, I released the shutter unexpectedly.

Comments on Judges

　While the number of foreign tourists is increasing year by year, Ginza's pedestrian paradise has created a Japanese atmosphere with red umbrellas. From the innocent appearance of two foreign women taking commemorative photos on the big stage, as if they were becoming actors, and the people around them spending their time, the fun and openness of the day of pedestrian paradise is transmitted.
