This book represents a selection of photographs made Fran Parsons, Richard Faris, Robyn Faris, Shay Fuimaono, Bruce Johnson Sue Shepherd, Tina Brauer, Vicki Moritz with Instructor/guides Mike Langford and Jackie Ranken
The photographs from each photographer reflecting each person’s individual style as well as new techniques that they had learnt while travelling with the group.
During the tour we had the most amazing conditions in which to photograph.
In Kyoto we had spectacular autumn colours mixed with traditional temples and gardens.
In Takayama the first snow of the season fell over-night on our first night and we woke up to a fresh clean white landscape in which to photograph the traditional Heida Village, followed by the traditional temples and shops of the ancient town.
Then in Yudanaka we visited the Snow monkey park, that started with almost no monkeys in the hot pools and then a massive drop in temperature followed by the spa packed full of monkeys with snow falling.
All in all, this was by far the most amazing conditions we have ever had on a Japan tour and everyone did us proud with their truly remarkable images.
