Once autumn arrives autumn Japan photography tours naturally focus on the wooded areas around the country, and these regions are defined by their balance.  In fall, the colored leaves from the forests and glades surrounding Japan’s iconic peak on the Mt. Fuji as well as Kyoto and Osaka, are famous all over the world, but there are so many more photo ops off the beaten path where trees seem happy to speedily transform into their fall incarnations and showcase the rich reds, vibrant oranges, sparkling golds, and rare and sought after purple leaves that signify the arrival of the autumn.  The colored leaves create a spectacular invitation for you to witness them firsthand.  These moments are fleeting, so it’s time to seize the opportunity to create your personal gallery of natural balance from a Japan leaves photography tour.

The interplay of light, especially during golden hour seems to magnify the beauty of the autumn colored leaves.  And just as the blue hour changes to golden hour, you can photograph the same scene and have remarkably different results.  The unpredictable element of nature is part of what makes photography such an amazing art.  Our Japan autumn photo tour leaders will help you harness the power of those potentially unpredictable moments in nature into once in a lifetime photos.  You may have questions while in the field, and as your JDS workshop leaders are always available and open to answer questions and help you capture pictures that are gallery worthy.  Sometimes all it takes is one small rethink to your approach to make a photo extraordinary.  And even after your Japan autumn photo tour has ended with me and you’ve visited so many spots in Japan such as Akita, Yamagata, Aomori, Iwate,  Nagano, Yamanashi, Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefectures, and others.  Please know our workshop leaders always enjoy communication with past participants to help with editing, giving locations where an image was take, or naming a particular species.  And JDS workshop leaders always enjoy keeping a dialog with friends to help for future adventures in Japan and abroad off the beaten path.
