Poring Over the Picture
An outdoor location such as this presented lots of opportunities for photographer Hiroyuki Uchiyama to create beautiful photos—but there are plenty of potential difficulties, too. It's easy to end up with areas that are blown out or choked with black as the camera tries its best to get all the detail using its Automatic modes. Shooting in Tv, Av, or Manual mode gives you more control over the image.
