Recommendation

Chuo-ku Tourism Association Chairman's Award

Title: Red bridge and white heron
[Shooter]: Kazuo Tanaka
[Date of shooting]: October, 2017
[Shooting location]: Tsukuda

[Shooter comment]

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

[Jury comment]

　A white heron that flew down to Tsukuda moat, the camerawork that captures the opportunity without missing out and finished in a rich color with a powerful composition is wonderful. The blue sky and skyscrapers reflected on the surface of the water are described as dusty by ripples in a color like an oil painting, and in a neat composition, the red bridge and white herons jumped into the eyes with a strong impression. It is a high-quality work.

Central Mayor's Award

Title: Crossing the Eitai Bridge
[Shooter]: Seiichi Minegishi
[Date of shooting]: August, 2017
[Shooting location]: Eitai Bridge

[Shooter comment]

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

[Jury comment]

　It's probably 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, which captures a row of mikoshi passing through the Eitai Bridge and the people who just overflowed from the bridge, in a huge bridge, is accurate, and beyond the bridge The bustle of the festival day, including the appearance of a large number of people continuing to the bridge, is transmitted straight.

Title: Sumida River where seagull dances
[Shooter]: Going to Iwagami
[Date of shooting]: February, 2017
[Shooting location]: Kachidokibashi

[Shooter comment]

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

[Jury comment]

　It seems that boat sightseeing is becoming more popular year by year, but this work is supposed to be feeding on the observation deck of a sightseeing boat going through the Sumida River under clear weather, and the seagull flock flying around the ship is chasing the ship with a stunning realism of buildings on both banks, creating a large scale landscape.

Title: Sakura Nihonbashi
[Shooter]: Takeshi Morita
[Date of shooting]: April, 2017
[Shooting location]: Nihonbashi

[Shooter comment]

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

[Jury comment]

　Did you take a picture from the top of the sightseeing boat? It's an angle that I've never seen before. Under the Metropolitan Expressway, Nihonbashi retains the old atmosphere. The camera eye contrasting the old and new buildings is fresh, and the stonework on the side of Nihonbashi is depicted in a natural three-dimensional effect, depicting the calm spring atmosphere with the cherry blossoms in full bloom.

Title: Ginza Street
[Shooter]: Tsuguo Ito
[Date of shooting]: August, 2017
[Shooting location]: Ginza Street

[Shooter comment]

　When foreign media is posing in Ginza, I released the shutter without thinking.

[Jury comment]

　As the number of foreign tourists increases year by year, Ginza's pedestrian paradise creates a Japanese atmosphere with red Japanese umbrellas. From the innocent appearance of two foreign women taking commemorative photos on the large stage, as if they were an actor, and the people around them, the fun and openness of pedestrian paradise Day is transmitted.
