Year 2024April 2024Aprilflowering dogwood (Cornus florida)Saitama prefecture (Kantou area)blooming (esp. of cherry blossoms)
This photo was taken in Saitama Prefecture, where I thought, "What a beautiful flowering dogwood blooming nearby."

This photo was taken with the sun's light in mind, aiming to capture the pink petals as if they were translucent.In spring, the dogwoods planted as street trees bloom beautifully, adding color to the city. Among them, the sight of dogwoods glowing as their petals become translucent in the sunlight is particularly eye-catching. Illuminated by the soft sunlight, the pale pink and white hues of the petals stand out even more, making the spring scenery even more vibrant.The key to photographing dogwoods is utilizing sunlight to bring out the translucency of the petals. Composing your shot looking up at the dogwood against a blue sky background makes the flower colors appear brighter and more vivid, resulting in a beautiful photograph that looks like a painting made of light. Furthermore, the delicate patterns and color gradients of the petals stand out, allowing you to fully appreciate the artistry woven by nature.
