Scenes from Atagawa Onsen

[Yokosuka Mike]

There is a road that follows the coast from Atagawa to the Shirotagawa river. Very few cars use this road because there is a main road further inland. Everytime I visit Atagawa I take the time to walk this road; it's good for the soul.

While walking along the coastal road I frequently stop and take pictures. Using a tripod and an ND filter I watch the waves and try to get the right exposure time for the best composition. It's like playing a game.

The Izukyuko train line crosses the the Shirotagawa river. I was doing a 30 second long exposure of the river just to see what it would look like when unexpectedly a train crossed the bridge. If I had know that a train was coming I wouldn't have done such a long exposure. There's no second chance unless I waited an hour for the next train to come; I didn't want to wait.
