Japan summer through my lens 🎆🇯🇵

The DJI Osmo Pocket 4P does an amazing job capturing the fireworks especially under low light settings.
Thanks to its 1-inch CMOS sensor, 17-stop dynamic range and D-Log 2 which help retain detail in the bright highlights while capturing the darker night sky.

The 60mm-equivalent 3× telephoto lens with an f/1.8 aperture gives portraits a more natural, compressed look while bringing the fireworks beautifully into the background.

A tiny setup, but powerful enough to capture cinematic moments✨

Because sometimes you don’t just want to remember what the fireworks looked like — you want to remember being there in the moment 🎆

日本の夏を、私のレンズ越しに🎆🇯🇵
DJI Osmo Pocket 4Pは、夜の花火も美しく撮影できる頼もしいカメラ。
1インチCMOSセンサーと最大17ストップのダイナミックレンジ、D-Log 2により、花火の明るい部分のディテールを残しながら、暗い夜空もしっかりと捉えてくれます。
さらに、60mm相当の3倍望遠レンズ（F1.8）を使えば、ポートレートもより自然で立体感のある仕上がりに。背景の花火も美しく引き立ててくれます✨
コンパクトなのに、シネマティックな瞬間をしっかり残せる一台。
だって、花火がどんな風に見えたかだけじゃなくて、
その瞬間に「そこにいた」ことまで、思い出として残したいから🎆

Honored to witness the Kanmon Straits Fireworks Festival, one of western Japan’s largest fireworks festivals, right from our hotel room this year 🎆

It’s the only Japanese fireworks festival that crosses both a prefectural border and a strait.

Special thanks to リゾナーレ下関 - RISONARE Shimonoseki
It’s also their first summer since opening last December, making it an extra special one. ✨

🔖 Trip Planning Tips

🩵 Family-friendly stay — Risonare Shimonoseki is a great option for families, with facilities and spaces designed for guests traveling with children.

🩵 IMPORTANT ⚠️ Best for leisure viewing — Since the fireworks are launched from multiple locations across the Kanmon Strait, the view is better suited for relaxed viewing and enjoying the atmosphere than dedicated fireworks photography.

🩵 Skip the crowds — Staying nearby means you can enjoy the fireworks from the comfort of your hotel rather than dealing with the crowds and transportation rush afterward.

🩵 Book early for summer — The Kanmon Straits Fireworks Festival attracts huge crowds, so accommodation in the area can sell out quickly around the event.

Skilled performers balancing towering 12m tall bamboo poles strung with dozens of lanterns that weighs up to 50kg, this festival is held to pray for a good harvest and drive away summer sickness.

The four main balancing positions used in Akita Kanto Matsuri are:
* 額（ひたい）Forehead — balanced on the forehead
