Capturing the serenity of the morning glow and reflections on the surface of the water at the Iris River
The morning glow of the Iris River is a recommended spot to enjoy photographing the serene atmosphere of the quiet surface of the water overlapping with the hues of the sky. If you visit before dawn or just after sunrise when there is no wind, the surface of the water becomes like a mirror and the colors of the morning glow reflect beautifully. It is not flashy, but it is attractive for its ability to capture the soft gradation and clear morning air in a straightforward manner.
Key points for photography
The first point of photography is to choose a morning when there is no wind. The calm surface of the Shobu River makes it easy for even a slight wind to disrupt the reflection, so it is a good idea to check the wind speed the day before. Next, it is important to arrive at the site before sunrise, so as not to miss the moment when the sky begins to change color. Rather than a day with no clouds at all, a day with thinly spread clouds makes it easier to ride the colors of the morning sunrise and create an expression on the surface of the water.
