田貫湖で富士山と初日の出を撮影

新年の始まりを静かで特別な一枚に残したいなら、田貫湖の初日の出はぜひおすすめしたい撮影スポットです。湖畔からは富士山を正面に望むことができ、元旦の朝、澄み切った空気の中で昇る太陽が山肌を少しずつ染めていく様子は、まさに新年にふさわしい荘厳な光景です。風のない朝には湖面に富士山と朝焼けが映り込み、逆さ富士と初日の出を同時に狙えることもあり、構図次第で静けさと力強さを併せ持つ写真に仕上がります。観光地でありながら広々としているため落ち着いて撮影しやすく、新年の「撮り始め」をじっくり楽しめる場所です。

Key points for photography

撮影のポイントは、駐車場が少ないためできるだけ早めに到着することと、安定した構図を作るために三脚を用意することです。田貫湖の初日の出は人気が高く、元旦は特に早朝から多くの人が集まるため、日の出時刻直前では駐車が難しくなる場合があります。また、夜明け前から朝焼け、日の出まで光の変化をじっくり狙うには、低速シャッターになりやすいため三脚は必須です。三脚を使って構図を固定することで、湖面に映る逆さ富士や朝焼けの色の変化を落ち着いて撮影でき、新年にふさわしい静かで印象的な一枚に仕上げることができます。
