Fantastical Lotus Flowers at the University of Tokyo's Institute for Ecological Agriculture, Utilizing Depth and Blur

This photograph was taken at the University of Tokyo's Ecological Harmony Agriculture Research Center, focusing on the beautiful lotus flowers blooming in the background while blurring the foreground flowers. The depth and soft bokeh create a dreamlike atmosphere.Lotus flowers blooming quietly on a summer morning within the tranquil campus. At the University of Tokyo Farm in Nishi-Tokyo City, they are open to the public for a limited time. Their low stature allows you to get up close for the perfect shooting distance. Translucent petals, buds just beginning to open, and insects sharing the scene. Here lies a subject that macro photography enthusiasts simply can't resist. ※Access is only available on the special open days.
