Aiming for Kawazu Cherry Blossoms, Rape Blossoms and Keikyu Train at Miura Coast Cherry Blossom Festival
The Miura-kaigan Cherry Blossom Festival is a well-known tradition that allows visitors to feel the arrival of spring early. The beautiful contrast between the Kawazu cherry blossoms along the Keikyu Line tracks and the rape blossoms spreading all over the area makes it a popular photo spot that attracts many visitors every year. One of the most attractive compositions is to capture the Keikyu Line train running between the Kawazu cherry blossoms and rape blossoms. The pale pink, bright yellow, and red train make for an impressive shot unique to this location. The time spent waiting for a shutter release opportunity while keeping the train's passing time in mind also adds to the enjoyment of the shot.
Key points for photography
The key to taking this shot is to take advantage of the contrasting colors of the Kawazu cherry blossoms and rape blossoms, and to aim for a timing when the Keikyu Line train will be in the frame. Knowing in advance when the train will pass by and shooting from a slightly lower angle will help balance the three elements of cherry blossoms, rape blossoms, and the train and create a dynamic shot that is typical of the Miura Coast.
