Dreamy Long Exposure at Otaki Falls in Japan with Brian David Casey

Words by Brian David Casey

"Fawn and I have been enjoying getting back into traveling. In March, we enjoyed some time in Barcelona and while she went to Germany (for work), I stayed back to explore a bit more of Spain. I also had an impromptu excursion trip into France. However, I still need to go through all my photos from that trip."

"I recently visited Japan for another photo shoot which involved a couple of schools I've been photographing since 2011, in Sendai. They had a need to do more booklets and ads so I was happy to go and get the photos they needed. I also got to catch up with two friends in Tokyo (Ginza area) before heading up north for my shoot."

"While I was in Sendai, my assistant drove me to a beautiful waterfall area (Akiu Otaki Falls) before going to a really nice onsen (hot springs) at a resort. It was so good to get back to the onsen way of life in Japan!"

"I could not have captured the images that I did without my Platypod gear. Thanks again for developing such a sturdy product. It really came in handy while getting the long exposure I needed of the waterfall. I added the silicone mat to help prevent the rig from slipping on the slick river rocks."
