Ice tulips at Funabashi Andersen Park
If you want to photograph a colorful floral landscape even in winter, the ice tulips at Funabashi Andersen Park are a must-see subject. The tulips bloom at low temperatures, and the clear winter light brings out the colors of the flowers even more. The park is dotted with windmills, European-style buildings, and spacious lawns, making it easy to create a narrative composition with ice tulips in the foreground. Aiming for a less crowded time of day will allow you to take calm photos, and the contrast between the cooler background and the vividness of the flowers will give you a wintery feel and a hint of spring at the same time. This is the perfect spot for a change of theme for winter photography.
Key points for photography
The key to shooting this image is to make the ice tulips the main subject, while combining the park's windmills and European-style buildings in the background to create a narrative. At Funabashi Andersen Park, a large arrangement of flowers in the foreground and a slightly narrower focus on the buildings and landscape in the background will create a seasonal feel to the shot. Low winter sunlight tends to bring out the colors of the flowers, so backlighting and oblique lighting are also effective. Also, choosing a time of day when there are fewer people makes it easier to create a calm composition, and the contrast between the cold background and the vividness of the flowers can be expressed more strikingly.
