Photographing the poppies and Sky Tree at Hirai Athletic Park at sunset
Hirai Athletic Park is a photographic spot where the beauty of poppies stands out during the sunset. The soft light of the setting sun illuminates the poppy petals, creating a fantastic atmosphere with their sparkling appearance. The silhouette of the Tokyo Skytree over the poppy field creates a striking harmony between nature and the city. We hope you will capture this special moment in your photographs, feeling the changes in color and light that are only possible at dusk.
Key points for photography
The key to photographing poppies is to take in the low light of the setting sun in a backlit way. The evening light will shine through the petals of the poppies, bringing out their soft, shiny expression. Select a location in a field of poppies where the flowers are densely packed together, and compose the image with an awareness of the expanse from the front to the back to create a sense of scale. If you wish to include the Tokyo Sky Tree in the background, it is important to adjust your standing position in advance to achieve a good balance between the flowers and the silhouette. As the sky changes color as sunset approaches, you can enjoy a different impression of the shot by following the time in the same composition.
