Forest of Wakatake Capturing the depth of the bamboo forest and the extraordinary light and shadow at Wakayama Farm
Wakatake no Mori, Wakayama Farm is a photo spot where visitors can enjoy extraordinary scenery in the serenity of a vast bamboo grove. The sight of the rows of bamboos stretching straight up to the sky creates a fantastic atmosphere, as if you have entered another world. Especially during the daytime, the sunlight softly shines through the entire bamboo grove, accentuating the contrast between the vivid greenery and beautiful light and shadow. Why not capture the quiet and dignified atmosphere unique to the Wakatake Forest in your photographs by composing them in a way that makes the most of the depth and regular lines of the bamboo grove?
Key points for photography
The key to photography is to be aware of the way the light comes in and the lines of the bamboo grove. At the Wakatake Forest and Wakayama Farm, light shining from above during the day softly illuminates the bamboo trunks and leaves, creating shades of green and beautiful shadows. Composing the image with an awareness of the vertical lines of the straight bamboo emphasizes depth and serenity, creating a dignified atmosphere typical of a bamboo grove. Also, since a slight change in the height of the viewer's eye can greatly change the impression, it is recommended to enjoy shooting calmly while composing the image by looking up and incorporating the curves of the pathway.
