Photographing the early spring scenery of Kawazu Cherry Blossoms in Kawazu Town
If you are looking to capture the gorgeous scenery of early spring, the Kawazu cherry blossoms in Kawazu-cho are a must-see subject. The deep pink Kawazu cherry trees blooming along the river, combined with the blue sky and the surface of the water, create a bright, spring-like impression throughout the photo. Compositions that include the rows of cherry trees at an angle and the river in the foreground easily create depth, making it possible to take a variety of shots while strolling along the river. The early season for cherry blossom viewing allows you to express spring in the air, which feels like the last remnants of winter, and the soft light brings out the colors of the flowers even more. This is the perfect spot to take pictures that evoke the feeling of spring.
Key points for photography
The key to taking pictures is to be conscious of composition with depth by taking advantage of the rows of cherry trees along the river. In Kawazu-cho, by placing the rows of cherry trees at an angle to the frame and the river in the foreground, you can create a photo in which the viewer's gaze naturally flows to the back of the scene. On a sunny day, use a blue sky as a background to highlight the pink of the flowers, and on a cloudy day, take advantage of the soft light to achieve subdued tones. Even during times of heavy crowds, using a low angle or telephoto to organize the background will emphasize the beauty of the flowers themselves.
