Kisei General Gymnasium Fuji Arena's rice paddies with depth-of-field composition

This photo was taken on Annabelle Road at Kisei General Gymnasium Fuji Arena, focusing on the rice field in the center and blurring the hydrangeas and buildings above and below.The hydrangea road at Kisei General Gymnasium Fuji Arena, where pure white Annabelle hydrangeas line both sides of the path, offers great compositional freedom and is a delightful place to photograph. Its charm lies in how the atmosphere can be dramatically altered depending on the approach—whether using symmetrical compositions or foreground blur.
