ยAbout experience
In the afternoon the group heads towards Tokyo, to explore this buzzing cityโs culture. The next morning starts an experience of this amazing city with crowds of people, markets, temples and other photogenic places. In the evening there will be night photography. Because Tokyo is actually the most beautiful at night with lots of neon signs, illuminated streets, hordes of people and trucks with flashing lights passing by our cameras.
Early morning our flight go north to Hokkaido and lands in Kushiro. There is a rich wildlife such as Blackistonโs fishowl (the worldโs largest owl), the giant stellar eagle, whooper swans, cranes dancing, fox and sikadeer. The group travels in a comfortable minivan or large car, which gives us the opportunity to stay in selected places along the way or change our plans based on weather to get the best shooting conditions.
Departing in the afternoon for a location to shoot cranes in evening light. Then when the light slowly disappears the group head for the hotel - dinner and some rest. The next morning is a pretty special experienceโฆ morning light, cranes and a misty river which is an iconic image that many associate with Japan. The cranes warm up for long day of posing in front of our cameras. Then breakfast is served at a local restaurant. Next location you can capture incoming but also individual cranes.
Further, the trip goes north through Hokkaidoโs amazing landscape. On the way to Lake Kussharo some stops can be made at various places to get close contact with whooper swans with ice-covered scenery as a backdrop. The swans swim in warm pools that are heated by underground volcanic activity. Overnighting in close proximity so itยดs posible to get both evening photography and morning photography of whooper swans.
