Story Behind the Photo – A Pause in the Journey
On this bright autumn day, during a morning drive, the vastness of Kasumigaura beckoned for a momentary respite. Deciding to capture its beauty, I took a stroll along the lakeshore in Namegata.

From an Amateur Photographer’s Perspective – Capturing Essence Over Expanse
Choosing the right frame for Kasumigaura was a challenge. While the vastness of the lake was tempting to capture in its entirety, I was drawn to the silvery gleam of the distant waters. Opting for a slightly backlit shot emphasized this shimmer. The inclusion of the angler, enjoying his tranquil moment, added life and narrative to the scene, making it more than just a landscape shot.
