A collection of photographs that depict motion in the daily life of people in Japan.  I enjoy finding ways to add motion to photography and use often techniques such as panning, jerking the camera, and other tricks to capture motion.  Most of the photographs in this slideshow collection show some of the many type of people on scooter or mopeds around Japan.  This is a popular form of getting around.  If you are interested in trying to capture more with your camera, try working more in Shutter Priority mode.  Most of these photographs were taken utilizing Shutter Speed techniques and tricks.  Enjoy the photoshoot!

A collection of photographs that fall under the theme category of “green” here in Nagano City, Japan. One of the things I often do in photography is to shoot with a specific theme in mind. This could be a color, object, motion, texture, etc. I find shooting for specific colors to be a joy and especially in collecting the photographs over time. Most of the photographs taken in this collection were photographed sometime in the summer or late Spring. I hope you enjoy they slideshow as much as I have enjoyed photographing the scenes within. By the way, “Midori” means “Green” in Japanese. “A Midori Summer in Japan” is by Jim Atwood Photography at http://jimatwood.net.
