STORY BEHIND

“I fully enjoyed the blue ocean that Yaeyamais famous for and the dynamic lights in the morning and evening during the spell of sunny weather. I felt the ocean showed me various colors reflected not by the strong summer sunlight but by the soft, winter sunlight. I shot wide-ranging subject from little mushrooms to the starry sky over the head utilizing the high mobility of Panasonic LUMIX GH4. Yaetamastays attractive by offering new experience and sensation whenever I visit there.”

LUMIX GH4

“I was using Panasonic LUMIX GH3 and was accustomed to its operation and design, which let me set myself to GH4 with no hesitation. I feel that the color reproduction is greatly improved while high resolution and high sensitivity are well succeeded from the GH3. I was impressed by its descriptive performance when I saw the transparent color of ocean with stunning clarity. Meanwhile, the GH4 captures the fresh landscape of forests with crisp green. I like the “Scenery” setting in Photo Style that vividly reproduces the color seen with my eyes.”
