Aiming at the surface of the water reflecting the gradation of the morning glow at Toda Racecourse

The starting point of Toda Racecourse is an excellent spot for photographing the beauty of the morning glow. The gradation of the morning glow reflected on the surface of the water, combined with the quiet surface of the water, creates a fantastic scene. In particular, the moment just after sunrise, when the sky turns orange and pink and the light reflects off the water, creates a unique and beautiful scene. Try to capture this special moment of Toda Racecourse in the clear early morning air, along with the serenity, in your photographs. You will be able to capture a memorable shot that combines the realism of a boat race with the beauty of nature.

Key points for photography

The key to photographing the sunrise is to choose a day when there is no wind. If the wind is calm, bridges and start boards will be reflected beautifully on the water surface, allowing you to capture impressive reflections. It is recommended to check the weather and wind conditions and aim for a quiet morning. If it is a warm day, clouds and the morning sun will create beautiful reflections.

At the starting line of Toda Boat Race, the early morning breeze had died down, the water surface was calm, and beautiful reflections were mirrored. Shooting while crouching slightly and framing the shot through the gaps in the railing minimized distortion of the buildings.
