Footage taken from my first trip to the island of Iriomote in March of 2017. I’d been pouring over maps and locations to find the ultimate spot for a waterfall / milky way image I’d had burning in my brain for quite some time. Sangria Waterfalls in the NW of the island turned out to be THE spot for the shot. Fortunate that the weather stayed true, the jungle didn’t claim any bones and we all made it out alive.
I was joined on this trip by a bunch of good friends I’ve blessed to have made during my time here in Okinawa. Many more adventures with whom I hope are in the pipeline. Since this trip I have made three more and found some incredible locations for imaging of all kinds but especially for locations that allow me to teach slow shutter techniques. This merged with astrophotography of the night skies allows the island to be crowned as the best location to teach slow shutter photography.
Contact me if you’d like further information on the three trips I’m planning for 2018 in the months of March, April and May. These will all be for slow shutter imaging and, fingers crossed, to take imagery of the Milky Way as it arcs across the skies of the island.
Thanks to my buddies for joining me on this:
