AUTUMN SPORTS
RECOMMENDATION IN FUKUOKA
Autumn has quietly arrived in Fukuoka. Do you want to find some interesting sports to do in autumn? Here
we can give you several recommendations. There are many famous sports in Fukuoka and the following
are some easily accessible one.

Recommendation1-Bouldering
Bouldering is the simplest form of climbing that does not
require any prior knowledge of climbing and possession ofheavy equipment such as ropes and harness. Due to lack ofropes, walls tend to be lower with 4-5 meters in height andmats are located below walls in case a person falls down. The
vast majority of indoor climbing walls in Fukuoka focus
around bouldering. There are more than 10 bouldering placesin Fukuoka and the most famous ones are “Bouldering Gym
Joy Fukuoka” and “Bouldering Gym Hoa Hoa” that cost
2,000-3,000 yen per person. The closest bouldering place toIto campus is “Fukuoka Westside Climbing My Way” that is a
12-minute walk from Kyudai Gakkentoshi station.

5

Recommendation2-Scuba diving
There are around 230,000 known species living in the sea.
Through scuba diving, you can experience the life with fishes
and their natural habitat and witness marine life with your owneyes. Diving is a fantastic way to get away from all noise,problems, and troubles and appear in the completely newworld where you can be one-to-one with your own thoughts.
Japan is overlooked for its scuba diving facilities, but you will
get amazed to explore its great potential. You can find many
diving spots even in Fukuoka, that are located mainly near thecity center. The most popular ones are “Diving Shop WOW”
and “Toriton Diving Resort” that cost around 10,000 yen perperson.

Recommendation3-Sumo tournament
For people who preferer watching sports, there is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy sumo tournament held in Fukuoka. The tournament is known as Kyushu Basho that is a partof Honbasho. Honbasho is considered as the main sumo
tournament where all best wrestlers compete to determine
the champion. It is held 6 times a year, and in November
each year it takes place in Fukuoka at Fukuoka Kokusai
Center, 15-minute walk from Gofukumachi station. The tournament lasts for 15 days and the ticket price varies from2,500 to 12,200 yen per person.

(*Photos were obtained from websites )Photographing autumn leaves in all their splendour can be a tricky ask. When summer turns toautumn, the shorter days cause leaves to turn rich shades of orange, yellow, brown and red.
This natural spectacle presents photographers with plenty of opportunities for shooting close-up
abstracts, grander vistas and pretty much everything in between.At this time of year gusty days
and nights can strip the trees bare in a matter of hours, so don’t waste time waiting for preciselythe ‘right’ conditions – just get out there and adapt your plans accordingly.

15 TIPS FOR PHOTOGRAPHING
AUTUMN LEAVES
1.Use a lightbox

2.Try a support

If you still have a lightbox lying around,put it to good use by arranging leaves orother translucent objects on it. Selectspecimens with well-defined shapes andgood venation. You might like to press
them under a book for a few hours
beforehand to prevent them from curlingup.

When the wind rises above 5mph, plants
tend to blow about quite a bit. To keep
everything steady wait for a lull in thebreeze or use one of the following:
floristry wire (to fix your subject to something steady); a Wimberley Plamp (seenhere) to hold a small branch still or awindbreak.

3.Look for skeletons

4.Watch the weather

If you slow down and look around, you
might notice some skeleton leaves.
These delicate structures have veins
resembling road maps and can makeattractive compositions. Think about thebackground behind the leaves; go forsomething plain or lightly textured. This
type of subject often suits the black &white treatment.

While it might be tempting to wait forclear-blue skies, photographing autumn
leaves is often best in bright but overcast
conditions. If you can’t wait for cloud
cover, use a diffuser to eliminate harshshadows. You can enrich colours byunderexposing a touch. Try to avoid
wind, but don’t shy away from frosty
conditions.

5.Shoot en masse

6.Move the camera

7.Try unusual accessories

When autumn leaves create a mass ofcolour, the result can be pleasing. You
are unlikely to find hundreds of leaves in
perfect condition, so select your favourites and arrange them on a suitablesurface. You will need more than you
think to fill in the gaps.

For a more expressionistic shot ofautumn leaves, ditch the tripod and try
ICM (Intentional Camera Movement).
Deliberately moving the camera during along exposure results in washes ofcolour that are more akin to painting
than photography. To extend the shutter
speed you may need an ND filter.

Tweezers, paintbrushes and fishing line
might seem like strange objects to packin your kit bag, but each one has its
place. Tweezers can be employed toremove dead leaves or stray debris froma scene; paintbrushes are ideal fortransporting insects into new positions;and fishing line can be used to holddistracting foliage out of the frame.

8.Refine your focus

9.Make tiny adjustments

10.Mix leaves with water

When depth of field is limited, accurate
focusing is essential so switch to live
view and use manual focus. Small
adjustments can make a huge difference, so turn the focusing ring very
slowly and observe the results
on-screen. The viewer’s eye will always
be drawn to areas that are in-focus first,
so bear this in mind when you’re looking
at the screen.

If you would like to make tiny alterations
to a close-up composition, consider apositioning plate or focusing rails. Thesedevices sit between your camera andtripod and allow you to make seriously
small adjustments by moving thecamera, which is the preferred methodof focusing when shooting at such highmagnifications.

Photographing autumn leaves reflectedin lakes and ponds is usually a great
idea, but there are other ways tocombine foliage and water. One is tolocate a stream, look for leaves driftingalong and employ a slow shutter speed
to transform them into a colourful blur.
Another way is to look for reflections ofbranches in shallow water and include
what’s underneath the surface.

11.Shoot into the light

12.Don’t forget the traditional rules

Shooting into the light can lead tostriking images. Where possible,
half-hide the sun behind a branch, tree
trunk or cluster of leaves. Try to experiment with lens flare too – you may bepleasantly surprised at how effective this‘mistake’ can be – it often conveys afeeling of energy. Naturally, it’s important
to avoid looking at the sun either directlyor through the lens.

If you are photographing autumn leaves
close up, don’t discount the ‘traditional’rules of composition. You can still apply
the rule of thirds, for example, and manycameras come with an electronic gridfor this purpose. What’s more, lead-inlines can also be useful, with diagonals
providing a sense of energy.

13.Visit a garden

14.Apply colour theory

15.Show a part

Unless you want to emphasise
age or natural decay, spendsome time tracking down aperfect leaf specimen. Bear inmind that if you are shooting aclose-up view, any blemishes
will be much more obvious. As aresult, it can pay to visit a formal
garden where much of thepruning has been done for you
by keen gardeners.

Colours that sit opposite one
another on the colour wheel(such as blue and yellow) arecomplementary, and create
maximum contrast. Use thiswhen photographing autumn
leaves to your advantage bylooking for such combinations innature. Colours that sit next toeach other are known as analogous, and are harmonious.

Sometimes showing part of aleaf can be much more interesting than including it in its entirety. You might decide to concentrate on the blade (the flat part),
the petiole (the leaf stalk) or themidrib (the central vein).
Consider what attracted you tothe leaf in the first place andmake that the focus.
