Enjoy the autumn colors of metasequoia trees with a composition looking up at Ikuta Ryokuchi

When photographing autumn foliage in Ikuta Ryokuchi, you cannot miss the charm of metasequoia trees. If you compose your shot so that you are looking up at the metasequoia, its dynamic shape stretching to the sky and its reddish-orange leaves overlapping each other will create a deep view. Depending on the location, you can also enjoy the contrast with the remaining green leaves and capture the changing seasons in a single image. The shadows of the leaves are beautifully highlighted by the natural light coming in, and a wide range of expressions from soft expressions to impressive moods can be created. This is a must-visit spot for those who want to expand their autumn foliage photography variations.

Key points for photography

The key to shooting this image is to emphasize the height and depth of the metasequoia by positioning the camera in a wide-angle, looking-up composition, standing in a position where the trunk line naturally extends to the center of the image, and using backlighting to take advantage of the translucency and shadows of the foliage.
