Ambassador Shinoda was also pleased to present the Ambassador’s Award for Best Photography to Mr Tristan Lim, a Singaporean Amateur Photographer. Following which, Mr Masatoshi Miyake presented the JNTO Award for Best Photography to Mr Tristan Lim.


Both the Ambassador’s and JNTO Award for Best Photography was taken at the Nishiki Katakuri Colony, Akita Prefecture in Japan when Mr Lim spotted the beautiful sunlight shining at the small plant in the morning. Using Canon EOS 70D, which has an articulated screen and the EF-S10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM lens, he was able to position the camera very closely to the ground and photograph the plant from below.

Canon Photo Clinic 2016 in Japan Exhibition with Asia Talented Amateur Photographers was held at JCC from 6 to 13 August, where visitors were able to marvel at the featured photo gallery shortlisted from Canon Photo Clinic, Canon PhotoMarathon and Photo Face-off.
