In the morning we met amazing sunrise over fully-blooming sakura garden under Chureito pagoda with a perfect view towards Mt Fuji.
Tomorrow is the last day of my photo-workshop in Japan. I am leaving my group in the airport and flying to New Zealand, to start my South Island workshop.
Don’t forget that I have just a few spots left to the sailing photography trip in Greenland with amazing team of arctic sailorsm you are welcome to sign in on last vacant spots:
summer expedition to Greenland 2015.

The Forest’s Awakening – 森の覚醒 by EliaLocardi

Sig Nordal, Jr.Leave a comment

There’s nothing better than spending a morning all alone in the Sagano Bamboo Forest near Kyoto, listening to the soft rustling sounds of tall stalks and leaves as the sway gently in the breeze. On a clear morning, the light shines brilliantly though the tangle of beautiful green, making the forest seem as though it’s illuminated from within. It’s a truly extraordinary place to be.

If you’re interested in my work, feel free to drop me a line on Instagram or my website EliaLocardi.com.

Beauty Through Order by MarselvanOosten

Wishing you all a happy 2015. May all your troubles last as long as your New Year’s resolutions 😉

And if this morning is any indication for the rest of the year, I’d say: bring it on! I got an email from Nature’s Best telling me that my image ‘Red Crowned Cranes’ won a Highly Honored in the Birds (those who know me will appreciate the irony) category of the competition. It was shot last year on our White & Wild Japan photo tour. Only 110 images were selected from over 20,000 entries, so I’m honored to be part of the happy few again.
The winning images will be displayed in the annual exhibition at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. opening in Fall 2015.

Coincidentally, I was developing this bluish photo, I came to know my photo　
neo osaka
was chosen to　
The Top 10 City & Architecture Photos of 2014
I love conventional BW, and I do by myself, but often I am inclined to tint my photos to blue. I don’t know, maybe it’s just cool.

My next work is conventional BW fine art style photo, and
I’ll post December 31nd, just before going back to my hometown to spend with my parents.

Thank you for all who visited my page this year!
I was pretty enjoyed and inspired viewing you guys’ beautiful, astonishing photos.

Have a happy holiday 500px members!

update 22nd Dec.
Just released the newest number CAMERAPIXO’s
We Inspire Vol.FOUR
took this photo and gave as Editor’s choice.
All photos on the magazine are trully beautiful and worth to see.
Please check it out.
