This photo was taken in Sanbonmatsu (Nikko), where I used a wide-angle lens to capture the autumn foliage of the larch trees, dyed a golden hue, by looking up at them from below. By taking advantage of the sense of perspective unique to wide-angle lenses, I combined the imposing presence of the trees reaching toward the sky with the vibrant larch leaves spreading overhead to capture the beautiful sense of scale found in the autumn forests of Oku-Nikko.
