This photograph captures the green tunnel stretching deep into the distance, utilizing perspective to express depth. The composition, suggesting the path continues endlessly, evokes a sense of nature's beauty and vastness. Showa Memorial National Park is a vast park where visitors can enjoy nature throughout the seasons, and its ginkgo tree-lined avenue is a particularly popular spot. At this time of year, the avenue, enveloped in fresh greenery, offers a vivid contrast against the blue sky, providing visitors with a soothing experience. This avenue, where the single path seems to stretch endlessly, is an ideal spot for photography enthusiasts. Even simply strolling along it offers a beautiful landscape that feels like a cleansing experience for the soul. A key photography tip for the ginkgo avenue is to utilize its sense of perspective. The straight path makes it easy to create compositions incorporating perspective, allowing for photos with a strong sense of depth. When shooting, display the grid lines on your camera or smartphone and position yourself along the center line. This places depth at the heart of the frame, creating stable, balanced photos. Additionally, the appearance of the fresh green leaves and the play of shadows changes depending on the light direction—whether front-lit or backlit. Experimenting with these different lighting conditions is part of the fun.
