Omiya Hikawa Shrine

大宮氷川神社の参道で荘厳な空気ともみじ紅葉を写す

The approach to Omiya Hikawa Shrine is a good spot for photographing the beautifully colored maple leaves in autumn. Both sides of the long approach are lined with maple trees, which turn bright red and orange in late autumn. The scenery is especially worth photographing, combining the quiet and solemn atmosphere of the shrine with the beauty of the autumn leaves. During the soft light of morning and evening, the maple leaves become even more brilliant in the light, making for a fantastic photo opportunity. We hope you will try to capture a special picture of autumn leaves on the approach to Omiya Hikawa Shrine while feeling the depths of autumn.

Key points for photography

撮影のポイントは、長い参道の両脇に並ぶ、質の良いモミジを主役にするのがおすすめです。色づきが進みきる前の、葉の状態がきれいな早めのタイミングで訪れると、傷みの少ないモミジを撮影できます。アップで一枚一枚の葉を切り取ったり、参道にある鳥居や周囲の構造物と組み合わせて構図を作ると、奥行きのある写真になります。なお、朝早すぎる時間帯は参道が暗くなりがちなので、少し日が差し始めた時間帯を狙うと、モミジの色が自然に引き立ちます。
