This photograph was taken in Kagamiyama Park this autumn. I like the deep red colour of the leaves with the green in the background, and the focus.
Another photograph taken in Kagamiyama Park this autumn. I like this photograph because the red is very bold and bright against the green of the leaves in the background, and because the shapes of the leaves are clearly visible.
I took this photograph back in 2004, at Mitaki, in Hiroshima. Drinking tea at the little teahouse in the valley, I looked up and saw a single fallen leaf on the bright crimson of the parasol above me. This is one of my favourite autumn photographs.
Another photograph taken at Mitaki, but this time in 2006. Fallen leaves colour the tiles of a roof red. I was lucky to be able to get high enough to take a photograph of the roof.
Yet another photograph from my autumn 2006 visit to Mitaki. A fallen leaf lies on coins left as offerings on a stone. I like the depth-of-field in this photograph: the way the coins in the background are out of focus.
One more photograph from my autumn 2006 visit to Mitaki: fallen leaves around the edge of a tsukubai. I like the way the blue of the sky is reflected in the water: it makes the reds and yellows brighter and more vivid, I think.
One final photograph from my autumn 2006 visit to Mitaki: fallen leaves around the foot of a small waterfall. I used a tripod for this shot, but even so, I had to try several times before I got a shot I was happy with!
A photograph taken at Sandankyo in 2005. I like the way the red of the parasol matches the autumn colours of the trees.
A photograph taken at Arashiyama, Kyoto, in 2005. Like the first photograph in this gallery, I like the way the leaves in the foreground are blurred, with just a single leaf in focus. I think the colours of these leaves are wonderful, too.
One more photograph from Arashiyama. The autumn leaves are silhouetted against the crimson red of a torii in the shrine grounds.
