This photo captures the Ferris wheel at Kasai Rinkai Park, standing out beautifully against the blue sky.

This photo was taken by stepping back as far as possible within a natural range to prevent distortion of the Ferris wheel during shooting. I consciously composed the shot to accurately capture the shape of the Ferris wheel while considering the overall balance. Kasai Rinkai Park is a nature-rich park stretching along Tokyo Bay, a popular tourist destination visited by many people. Among its attractions, the large Ferris wheel "Diamond and Flower Ferris Wheel," the park's symbol, is a popular spot for enjoying beautiful views alongside the blue sky. Standing 117 meters tall, this Ferris wheel boasts one of the largest scales in Japan, making its presence truly overwhelming. This time, I photographed the Ferris wheel and the blue sky as my theme. To highlight the Ferris wheel's beautiful shape and the sky's blue hue, I carefully composed the shot so the Ferris wheel appeared vertical relative to the ground. Specifically, by shooting from a slightly distant spot behind the pond at the base of the Ferris wheel, I achieved overall balance and successfully captured both the scale of the Ferris wheel and the vastness of the sky simultaneously.
