Enjoy the yellow leaves shining in the morning light on the gingko trees at the Ibaraki Prefectural Museum of History

The rows of gingko trees at the Ibaraki Prefectural Museum of History are a popular spot in autumn, when they are bathed in the quiet morning light and their golden leaves look especially beautiful in the brightly shining sunlight. Walking along the rows of trees in the soft light, you can feel the season slowly deepening, and it is recommended as a place where you can feel the "breath of the season" unique to autumn.

Key points for photography

The key to photographing ginkgo trees is to visit in the early morning hours and capture them from the front in good light. By taking advantage of the light coming in from a low angle, each leaf will shine through and its golden color will stand out. Standing in the center of the row of trees and composing the image with an awareness of depth will emphasize the well-defined lines and help convey the atmosphere of a quiet morning. Selecting a time of day when there are few people around and shooting in a calm atmosphere will create an elegant autumn scene that is typical of the Ibaraki Prefectural Museum of History.
