Recommendation

Chuo-ku Tourism Association Chairman's Award

Title: Bus station in big cities
[Shooter]: Yuichi Uchida
[Date of shooting]: July, 2021
[Shooting location]: Site of Tsukiji Market

[Shooter comment]

In 2021, the Tokyo 2020 Games were held. Heading to the observatory overlooking the city, there were many Olympic-related transportation buses waiting on the site of Tsukiji Market. Fortunately, I was able to meet the sights that I couldn't notice from the ground and shoot. (Shooted from observation deck Kaleta Shiodome)

[Jury comment]

It is a work unique to 2021, which reminds me of the passionate 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 rare that such a number of buses are parked during the Tokyo 2020 Games? Which country will you take the players to the venue? It is difficult to shoot the dark time of the evening glow, but it is a wonderful work because the exposure matches perfectly.

Central Mayor's Award

Title: Man Tsukide
[Shooter]: Susumu Matsuyama
[Date of shooting]: October, 2021
[Shooting location]: Harumi Passenger Terminal

[Shooter comment]

On the full moon night, 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 come out. When I was photographing the orange moon, I was lucky enough to see two ships and released the shutter without missing the moment. (photographed from Shin-Nichi Bridge)

[Jury comment]

This work was taken telephoto from the Harumi Passenger Terminal, which is scheduled to close soon, from New Day Bridge. I think it was difficult to adjust the full moon to the building. Not all the moon comes out, but the observation of the scenes hidden in the building is wonderful. It is a good work with a fixed angle while the exposure conditions are difficult.

Title: It shines in the blue sky
[Shooter]: Yuki Hirai
[Date of shooting]: July, 2021
[Shooting location]: Nihonbashi

[Shooter comment]

I love walking around Nihonbashi. In front of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, there are seasonal flowers planted on the sidewalk to delight spring, summer, autumn and winter.

[Jury comment]

It's a wonderful work with a very good contrast between the deep blue sky in summer and the yellow sunflower that blooms well toward the sun. It's narrowed down the focus deeply, and the angle is also wonderful. Please continue to shoot the seasonal Hanamachi street in the future.

Special selection

Title: Blue sky and smoke
[Shooter]: Giichi Soda
[Date of shooting]: May, 2021
[Shooting location]: Ginza

[Shooter comment]

On this day, I was able to shoot 5 smokes beautifully without clear weather and wind. I would like to take a picture of flying over Tokyo again. I would like to thank the healthcare professionals for their hard work even now, two years after this filming.

[Jury comment]

It's an exhibition flight of Blue Impulse flying in the sky of Tokyo. It would have been difficult to adjust the timing of the shooting. The shooting technology in the wide-angle system is wonderful. You will receive a message that you will not forget your gratitude to healthcare professionals.

Special selection

Title: Ningyocho neighborhood
[Shooter]: Kunio Higuchi
[Date of shooting]: December, 2021
[Shooting location]: Ningyocho 1-chome

[Shooter comment]

I've always liked the atmosphere of the city around Ningyocho, and I sometimes visited it. One day at dusk, I left amazake Yokocho, crossed Ningyocho Street, looked into the narrow road beside Daikanonji Temple, and found a restaurant with an atmosphere and a stylish cafe lined up, and I felt the atmosphere of Ningyocho.

[Jury comment]

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