Attractive scenery of Haneda Airport
Thank you to everyone who applied to Haneda Airport Official Photo Contest 2021!

This is here. It's a work that makes you unintentionally make a voice. Mt. Fuji is the first target for everyone in the background and the Hikoki that can be aimed at at Haneda. I was afraid that I would take in Mt. Fuji, the gate bridge in front of it, and even the setting sun. Although the comment says that it is a work due to detailed calculation, there is no guarantee that Hikoki will come at this timing. In the meantime, you caught the approach machine of the new route that will be operated from 3:00 pm during the southerly wind. It's wonderful.
Charlie Kojo
It's a fresh picture, a work that makes you wonder, "Where are you shooting from?" In terms of the theory of aerial photography, I would like to say, "Please open the way the aircraft moves", but the timing and position of the aircraft, the gate bridge and Mt. Fuji, and the setting sun are too perfect to take a breath. It's so much. We, the judges, were surprised by the author's calculated standing position, the position where the sun was setting, and the fact that the B767 class aircraft jumped into the setting sun due to the southerly operation despite the reduction of flights. Of course, it goes without saying that the exposure is appropriate.

This is also a great work. Raijin is just this light. I checked the shooting date of September 9 in my notebook and found that I was shooting in Haneda on the 8th of the previous day. I would like to meet such a situation. I like the fact that it is expressed in the vertical position because the lightning is emphasized. The color is also neon red in the blue sky. It is said that the sky above the airport was sunny this night. If you have seen it, please be aware of the danger before imitating it.
Charlie Kojo
It is a work that I cannot help but admire, including the timing, framing, and the strength of the lightning bolt. The timing is also the same, but looking at the shooting data, it is said that a thundercloud is expected by exposing for a long time using an ND filter, but it is extremely difficult to set the exposure, "I hope the lightning flashes around here." It is estimated that there were a lot of bot pictures on the back of this one, keeping pressing the shutter button. In this situation, the operation of the airport will stop, but it is finished as a piece that feels nature and Haneda Airport.

It's a work of a veteran who knows Haneda Airport well. I hate aiming from the other side of the Tama River. The composition of the pull to express the Venus belt in the eastern sky with the west sun shining the building. The place to put the old tower in the meantime is wonderful. The takeoff from Runway 34R was an exquisite shutter timing for the aircraft that appeared even though I did not know where it would suddenly come from the other side of the building. The accidental monorail is also good. Let's go next time.
Charlie Kojo
I sometimes go to the riverbed of Tonomachi, but this is a super chance! Terminal 3 shines in the setting sun, and the B777-300 takeoff aircraft is on the other side. If this is a B737 class with a small aircraft size, it will be a little out of balance, but this is perfect. Even though that alone is wonderful, the exquisite timing of entering the best position up to the monorail. Did you shoot in one shot, or did you aim for a few days? This is a piece that makes you want to ask the author what kind of trouble you had.

A shot that looks like a scene from a movie. It is a work that is just right for the terminal award. An aircraft waiting for its turn at the gate. I wonder if I will be on board from now on, the silhouette pilot is working. It is a work that makes you want to go on a trip and go to the airport. Furthermore, the monotone tone raises the level of the work.
Charlie Kojo
I have good eyes. He has a lot of experience in photography and can make this picture on site. It is also a point that I finished it in monochrome as well as making a picture. The lack of color makes the viewer even more drawn to the photo by thinking about the atmosphere and atmosphere of the place. Exquisite exposure with a slightly visible guidance display in the foreground, and a sense of perspective due to the blur in the lower left. It's wonderful.

This is an excellent color scheme. Red and black of Tanabata decoration. On the other hand, the travel bag is also red and black. Furthermore, the clothes of those who pass by are black and white. This white matches the white on the top of the decoration. It's a coincidence, but it's a work in which everything is calculated. The vertical composition also has an impact on the Tanabata decoration. And it is a work that feels "movement" due to the movement of people passing by.
Charlie Kojo
It expresses the uniqueness of a Japanese terminal. The slow shutter is used to blur the person to express the movement in contrast to the background, and the image processing makes the red vivid, making it an eye-catching work. In addition, the position where people are placed in the lower left is also a wonderfully stable composition. It seems that he has experience in snapshot photography rather than Hikoki photography.

Observation Deck Terminal 1 we basically shoot toward Runway A, but we aimed at the side of Terminal 2 It is extremely difficult to catch when the takeoff aircraft comes out from the renewed terminal roof. I like the contrast between white and blue.
Charlie Kojo
The color of the print was a little undersized, probably because I was trying to create the characteristic rounded roof shape of the expansion part of the new Terminal 2..

There were many dramatic days in the Haneda sky last summer. And the new runway 22 rise and the new point Haneda Innovation City made painting fun. It is composed in a well-balanced manner by pulling the rainbow and the takeoff aircraft after heavy rain.
Charlie Kojo
The pictures from Haneda Innovation City, the clouds, the rainbow, the difference in the color of the sky, and the takeoff aircraft are rising a little faster, but the terminal is included and the diagonal composition expresses Haneda's uniqueness. I think it's a great opportunity.

The rise of Runway 22 is very fresh. However, I'm always looking forward to where to lift up. As it is A320, the balance with the cityscape in the background is perfect. And with the temple, I felt Japanese.
Charlie Kojo
It is a fresh picture of the newly set takeoff of Runway B 22, which seems to be a relatively good day, with Ikegami Honmonji Temple and the five-storied pagoda in the background, and an apartment in the direction of Kamata. It is also interesting to say that "the runway and the aircraft number are 22" as his comment.

It's a beautiful night view shot. The Air France aircraft that enters the 113th spot is very fashionably expressed. The night view of Tokyo in the background is also pleasantly clear and wonderful. I think it's also interesting to go because different aircraft come to the gate every day.
Charlie Kojo
It's a work that makes me say that it's honestly beautiful. A clear night view of Tokyo in winter, Terminal 3, and the latest Air France B787. Arrival at night, the number of the last minute that does not shake with a slow shutter. I feel the experience of the author who cares about noise by lowering the sensitivity as much as possible.

I have to take off my hat to express it like a local airport, which I can't think of as Haneda. Taking 16 approaches on Jonanjima, the shooting location, the brilliance of the west sun is very effective in the rippling sea. The position of the aircraft is also good, and it is also true that the sun is not on the screen.
Charlie Kojo
The exposure is set to underexposure to express the glitter of the sea and the silhouette of the aircraft. Furthermore, because it is completely backlit, a high-magnification zoom is used, so a ghost appears in the upper right of the photo, but on the contrary, it becomes a taste, and the work has a sense of presence as if it was splashed with water.

Thank you for your precious shot. I started going to Haneda eight years later, so I don't think there was a Convair 880 anymore. The ramp and the buildings in the background also feel the Showa era. I also want to see different shots.
Charlie Kojo
A great work has arrived. Haneda Airport about 50 years ago. I remember shooting the Japanese short-range aviation YS11 on the western deck when I was in elementary school, but it was a short-lived Japan Airlines Convair 880 aircraft long before that. It is a valuable photograph that conveys the state of the time suitable for the archive award, such as the hangar and building in the back, Runway B (before relocation), and the ramp of the rear door.

It is said to have been taken in 1989. It was an era when I was wandering around with a maze-like Haneda Observation Deck At that time, unlike today's digital films, there was a limit to the number of films, so I had to take each one carefully. Meanwhile, the two companies have been decided in a well-balanced manner.
Charlie Kojo
A work that seems to have been taken from the maze-like Observation Deck JAS's Airbus A300 and Lockheed L1011 are now in a precious dream competition. Looking at the shooting year, I used to shoot in Haneda around this time, so I feel nostalgic. In an era when there were few people taking Hikoki photos unlike now, a casual photo at that time has become a valuable record now.

On this day, I found this cloud when I went out for a while while working at home. Ahh, it's a later festival even if I wish I had gone to Haneda. But I am grateful that he expressed the hugeness of this cloud by entwining Hikoki in this way. Well I also wanted to shoot (laughs)

I thought it was a ship and took a picture with a kayak. Moreover, it is close to the smallest regular flight, the Embrael aircraft, at Haneda Airport. Insert the tip of the kayak and framing is perfect. I can't imitate whether it's capsized or the camera gets messy. Ideas, guts and freshness are amazing.

I think the sky in Tokyo has changed drastically over the last few years, regardless of the season. In this work as well, the background is darkened by dark clouds, and there is a glaring west sun like a tropical country. It is wonderful to grasp this situation properly, even if it is overexposed if it is left to the camera.
Charlie Kojo
Strong light contrast to the terminal against clouds on a black background. There is a white JAL machine. The expression that raises the contrast and brings out the light and darkness is a hat tip. The stable composition with the control tower on the left and the aircraft on the lower right is perfect.

The position of the work is the footbath skydeck of Haneda Innovation City. There is a simultaneous approach of runway 16R and 16L. It seems that you can take a picture if you go, but it is extremely difficult for the company to synchronize beautifully due to the reduced number of flights due to the corona virus. It is a work that I often caught without missing it.
Charlie Kojo
A work that does not seem to be a high school student. The focal length of the lens used is not enough and trimming is unique to the Junior Award, but the composition is complete. The title of the work, "Brothers," also made me feel youthful with the appropriate expression that captured the two Boeing machines.

The idea is wonderful. There is a hikoki in the cappuccino even though I am in the hall with the travelers who come and go. When will the author drink? Am I indulging in delusions for a while? However, it is a work that makes me worried that it will get cold.
Charlie Kojo
I was waiting for such a twisting work that seems to be a smartphone award! Is it "BEER CAFÉ +" that can turn photos into coffee art? The point is that there is a check-in counter in the background, so there is no waste in making pictures with ideas.

I am amazed at the recent smartphone paintings. The exposure of the aircraft in the foreground and the rainbow are clearly different, but they are well represented, and the ground after the rain is also represented. I also use a smartphone, but I'm not good at cameras. Occasionally a finger may come in when shooting. .. ..
Charlie Kojo
I was impressed with the atmosphere in which I casually photographed the rainbow I found. The aviation industry has had a tough day with the title "There is no unstoppable rain", but I was also moved by the comment that there is no unstoppable rain. Thank you for your application.

This is the expressive power of a smartphone. With a single-lens reflex camera, the exposure setting will probably not be in time at the moment when it appears while moving, and one of them will be out of focus. This is a shot with the red winglet of JAL A350.
Charlie Kojo
The title of the work is interesting. It looks like that if you change your perspective. I think it's a title that seems to be a smartphone award. In addition, the red winglet is unique to the Airbus A350. It is a work that conveys the desire to join the group with the tail wings.
General comment
Luke Ozawa
Thank you very much for your many entries for the second Haneda Airport Photo Contest Last year, I was worried that there would be few applications due to restrictions on going out due to corona, reduction of flights, downsizing of equipment, Observation Deck and shortening of opening time, but I am happy that many high quality works are being judged. At the same time, I also started studying. Also, I was able to make a fresh picture of the new flight route, and I took more time to shoot in Haneda than ever before. I look forward to good works in the future. And I hope that I will return to my usual Haneda as soon as possible. Thank you very much.
Charlie Kojo
I was a little worried about whether the entries would be collected in the past year when I couldn't go to shoot as I expected due to the reduction of flights due to the corona sickness, the declaration of an emergency, etc. A lot of fresh paintings of new flight routes were gathered. I would also like to thank the archive award for the collection of works that made people say "Oh!", Revived the nostalgic memories of the old Observation Deck History of Haneda Airport What I can say about all the works is that the camera is good now, so it's easy to take pictures, but the works that capture ideas, calculations, and opportunities win the prize. Seeing this work, I myself was inspired to shoot at a new location in Haneda.
First public release! A video of the judging committee is being released.
