This photograph captures sunflowers from behind, with their deep yellow color evoking the essence of summer. The "Sunflower Field Summer Festival" held in Nogi Town, Tochigi Prefecture, is a beloved annual summer event attracting many tourists. This beautiful sunflower field features sunflowers blooming across vast expanses of land, creating a truly spectacular sight. The sunflowers, spreading wide toward the sun, are particularly impressive, creating a refreshing atmosphere that makes you forget the summer heat. Additionally, a maze is set up within the field, packed with fun features for families and children. Exploring the maze while experiencing the sunflowers up close makes for an enjoyable experience for visitors. At the sunflower field, you can enjoy photography by adjusting the lighting. This time, I tried shooting from behind, letting the light pass through the petals. As the light filters through the petals, the sunflowers' vivid colors are emphasized, allowing you to capture unique photos rarely seen elsewhere. Furthermore, visiting the sunflower field during the bright daytime hours or in the evening lets you enjoy even more captivating scenes, making it an ideal photography spot for enthusiasts. You can also savor local specialties and the atmosphere of summer festivals, creating summer memories alongside the sunflowers.
