Recommendation

Chuo-ku Tourism Association Chairman's Award

Title: Bus stations in big cities
[Photographer]: Yuichi Uchida
[Year of shooting]: July, 2021
[Photograph location]: Tsukiji Market Ruins

[Photographer's comment]

The Tokyo 2020 Games were held in 2021. When I headed to the observation deck overlooking the city, there were many Olympic transport buses waiting on the site of Tsukiji Market. I was lucky to meet the sight that I couldn't notice from the ground, and I was able to shoot. (Photo from observation deck Shiodome, Caretta)

Comments on Judges

This is a work unique to 2021 that reminds me of the enthusiastic battle of the Tokyo 2020 Games. The angle is good, it is very large, and it gives the feeling of the bus terminal. Isn't it unusual for such a number of buses to be parked during the Tokyo 2020 Games? Which country will I take you to the venue? It is difficult to shoot the dark time of the evening's life color, but it is a wonderful work because the exposure fits perfectly.

Title: Mitsutsukide Tsuru
[Photographer]: Susumu Matsuyama
[Year of shooting]: October, 2021
[Photograph location]: Harumi Passenger Terminal

[Photographer's comment]

On the night of the full moon, I checked the time and direction of the moon on the official website of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan in advance and waited for the moon to appear. As I was photographing the orange moon, I was lucky enough to see two ships and released the shutter without missing the moment. (Photo from Shinhinode Bridge)

Comments on Judges

The Harumi Passenger Terminal, which is scheduled to close soon, was taken telephoto from Shin-Hidebashi. I think it was difficult to adjust to the time when the full moon took to the building. The ability to observe the scene hidden in the building is wonderful, not all the moon is out. It is a good work with an angle determined while the exposure conditions are difficult.

Title: It shines in the blue sky
[Photographer]: Yuki Hirai
[Year of shooting]: July, 2021
[Photograph location]: Nihonbashi

[Photographer's comment]

I love to walk around Nihonbashi. In front of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, flowers that feel the season are planted on the sidewalk, so you can enjoy spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Comments on Judges

It is a wonderful work with a very good contrast between the blue sky in summer and the yellow sunflower that blooms vigorously toward the sun. The focus is narrowed down deeply, and the angle is also great. Please continue photographing the seasonal Hana street in the future.

Title: Blue sky and smoke
[Photographer]: Giichi Antita
[Year of shooting]: May, 2021
[Photograph location]: Ginza

[Photographer's comment]

On this day, I was able to shoot five smokes beautifully without the wind and clear weather. I would like to take a picture of flying over Tokyo again. Two years after this filming, I would like to thank the medical staff for their hard work.

Comments on Judges

This is a work of the exhibition flight of Blue Impulse flying in the sky of Tokyo. It would have been difficult to match the timing of the shooting. The wide angle filming technology is wonderful. You will receive a message that you will not forget your gratitude to healthcare professionals.

Special selection

Title: Ningyocho neighborhood
[Photographer]: Kunio Higuchi
[Year of shooting]: December, 2021
[Photograph location]: Ningyocho 1-chome

[Photographer's comment]

I loved the atmosphere of the city around Ningyocho for a long time, and I sometimes visited it. One day at dusk, I left amazake Yokocho, crossed Ningyocho-dori St., and looked into the narrow road beside Okanonji Temple. I felt the atmosphere of Ningyocho.

Comments on Judges

The downtown atmosphere of the back street of Ningyocho is very well expressed. It seems that you have made a new discovery in the city where you are always walking. It is a work with an atmosphere where you can hear laughter from inside the shop.
