This photo was taken at the Kiyose Sunflower Festival, with a single flower in the foreground in the center of a group of straight blooming sunflowers arranged in a row. The balance of the composition and the rhythm of the flowers are in beautiful harmony. The Kiyose Sunflower Festival in Kiyose City, Tokyo, is a famous sunflower viewing spot that can be enjoyed only during the summer season. The sunflowers cover a field so large that it is hard to believe that it is in the city, and it looks like a picturesque summer scene. The sunflowers bloom brightly in the sunlight, and their volume is accentuated when photographed at a wide angle. The delicate beauty of the sunflowers is revealed when backlighting is used to allow the petals to shine through. The time spent moving through the field, searching for the best moment of light and composition, allows you to concentrate so much that you forget about the heat. The sunflowers, each with a different expression, will multiply your photographic pleasure many times over. *Reservations are required on certain days. *Because of the opening time of the gates, early morning and evening photography is not available.
