How was your experience participating?
By participating, I gained a deeper understanding of the effort and creativity that others put into their photos. It made me think, 'I want to incorporate these ideas into my own work!'
Additionally, I was able to connect with other photographers, and I’m truly glad I participated.
Why did you choose this particular photo for the exhibition?
This location is famous for its beautiful sunrises. However, instead of a sunrise, I encountered dense fog, which allowed me to capture this unique shot.
Originally, I wanted to photograph the sunrise, but this photo was taken as a result of the unexpected fog.
However, when others told me, 'It’s rare to capture such a photo in these weather conditions,' I started to appreciate this photo more.
While beautiful sunrises are wonderful, I wanted to convey the charm of foggy scenes like this, which is why I chose this photo.
