I took this photo at Daio Wasabi Farm, focusing on the side of the waterwheel house while paying close attention to the sunlight and the shadows cast by the building. By making the most of the contrast between the light and dark areas, I was able to create a photo that conveys the three-dimensionality of the waterwheel house and the feel of the summer sunlight.
