Japan’s Natural Light Shows Photographed by Takehito Miyatake

Japanese photographer Takehito Miyatake’s photos of magical firefly trails, glowing squid and awe-inspiring volcanic eruptions has recently won him Grand Prize at the 2014 Nikkei National Geographic Photo Awards. Miyatake’s long-exposure photography, which can last anywhere from 15 seconds to 30 minutes, captures what he describes as the “light of Japan.”

However, as it turns out, Miyatake’s profound reverence for the power of nature is rooted not in photography but in waka, a classical form of Japanese poetry.

1. A long-exposure shot of the Showa crater, the most active volcano in Sakurajima, underneath the stars

2. A flight of hime botaru fireflies light up the forest to create a dreamy, fairytale-like spectacle

3.In spring, firefly squid (hotaru ika) rise 2000 feet to the surface of the water and offer a fleeting glimpse of their magical lights

4.Volcanic lightning during the eruption of the Sakurajima volcano

5.Genji botaru fireflies around a small bridge over the Shimanto River (Kochi Prefecture)

6.The Milky Way glittering above the woods with the green lights of fireflies dancing in the foreground.

7. Scores of fishing rafts floating in the Uchino-umi highlighted by the light from the full moon.

8. The moon lights up a waterfall against geometric rock formations

9. A close-up of the red-hot cinders erupting from the Showa crater on Sakurajima

10. Volcanic lightning over the Sakurajima eruption.

Ooohhhh!

I normally don’t do serious giveaways, but I’m going to do this just one time because:

1) It’s Ringo Starr’s Birthday

2) I seriously need to get rid of these

3) There could be people who would really enjoy owning one of these bad boys

So I’m giving away these three wristbands that my mom caught when we went to the Capitol Records building in Los Angeles to celebrate Ringo Starr’s 74th birthday.  On one side, it’s got three stars in it (R***), and on the other it says “Peace and Love”.  It’s very Ringoesque as you can tell.  Ringo threw these white wristbands that my mom caught, as you can see pictured above.  Well, my mom got three extra and we don’t know what to do with it so I told her that I’m going to give it away to people on the internet so yeah.  Anyway requirements:

You don’t have to follow me, but it’d be nice if you did

Only reblogs will be considered

I don’t care how many times you reblog tbh so reblog away

You gotta have your askbox open

And yeah you gotta be okay with giving your address to me because how the hell will you get this?

I’ll try my best to ship anywhere, so anyone around the world can participate

I’m gonna film myself randomly selecting winners using my ti-84 and fancy random number picking shit I learned from stats so you won’t say that I’m being biased

The giveaway ends next week on July 14, 2014 at 9pm PST 

Good luck and please reblog, I’m desperate to get rid of these lmao
