ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This is a balloon race held in Japan. In the early morning without a clear wind, they soar into the sky all at once. They appear to be flying quietly, but balloon race read the wind and aim for the goal in the wind that blows in the direction they want to go. During the flight, they drop the marker at the target and aim for a high point due to the short distance between the center of the target and the marker.

AUTHOR
I am a black and white Photographer from Japan. I became interested in cameras when I was in high school. After that, I didn't shoot for a while, but when I was 30 I started shooting again. At that time, I was mainly shooting landscapes in color. However, around 2018, I started taking monochrome photographs in earnest. I was convinced that taking a work in black and white would more accurately represent the scenery I felt. Since then, I have been shooting mainly Japanese landscapes , streets and aircraft.
