Armchair exploration

A good example of planning and preparation was the image that won the Cities category of National Geographic Traveller Photography Competition 2020. I’d been searching Instagram to see what was out there that I may have missed, so I put a post out asking for recommendations on unique locations in Japan. An old school friend, who lives in Tokyo, told me about a multicoloured building interior that could be cool: it was very cool and I got some really great images, proving that taking a few minutes to ask for suggestions can really pay off.
