Enjoying the autumn leaf-colored rows of trees and the expressions of animals together at Kanazawa Zoo
Kanazawa Zoo is an attractive spot where you can enjoy both the autumn leaves and animals, and you will never get tired of photographing them. When the metasequoia trees in the zoo change color, the soft light of the orange trees provides a backdrop that makes the animals look even more impressive. It is interesting to note how the atmosphere of the photo changes dramatically with each change in subject, from the leisurely goat, to the powerful rhinoceros, to the majestic elephant. The moment when the colors of the autumn leaves and the natural behavior of the animals overlap is the perfect opportunity to capture both the season and the zoo at the same time. The metasequoia trees in the background also make for an enjoyable portrait-style photo opportunity, making this an ideal spot to visit during the fall season.
Key points for photography
The key to shooting this photo is to aim for the animal's eyes and gestures as the top priority, while adding the coloring of the metasequoia in the background and using soft backlighting to bring out the fur and silhouette of the animal to create a shot that brings both the animal and the autumn scenery to life.
