Capturing the transparency of the early morning roses in the light at Yamashita Park
In Yamashita Park, early morning photography is recommended when the roses are in bloom. The soft light coming in at sunrise envelops the flowers, creating a fantastic and clear photo. From spring to early summer, there are many types of roses, and you can enjoy photographing them as well as their fragrance. A few hydrangeas can also be seen in the park, creating a moist scene after the rain. We hope you will try to capture the moment when the flowers and natural light interweave in the quiet early morning of Yamashita Park.
Key points for photography
The key to shooting is to adjust the exposure based on the assumption of early morning backlighting. If you include the ship and the roses/hydrangea at the same time, the flowers will tend to be darker, so use exposure compensation and metering to match the flowers to ensure brightness. If you are concerned about the sky being blown out, the trick is to use a half ND (soft). Taking advantage of backlighting to create a silhouette of the ship is another way to express a morning in Yamashita Park.
