Nishi-Arai Daishi

西新井大師で風鈴の音色が響く夏の風景を楽しむ

西新井大師は、東京都足立区に佇む由緒ある寺院で、厄除け祈願の名所として広く親しまれています。境内は四季折々の表情を見せ、春は桜、初夏は風鈴、秋には紅葉と、訪れるたびに異なる美しさを楽しめるのも魅力のひとつです。なかでも夏の風鈴まつりは見応えがあり、色とりどりの風鈴が境内を彩り、風に揺れるたびに涼やかな音色が響き渡り、どこか幻想的な雰囲気を生み出します。比較的静かな時間帯を選んで訪れれば、心地よい風を感じながら、日常の喧騒を忘れるような穏やかなひとときを過ごすことができます。アクセスの良さも相まって、気軽に足を運べる点も人気の理由です。

Key points for photography

撮影のポイントは、西新井大師の夏の風鈴を主役に、やや逆光気味の時間帯を選んで風鈴を手前に配置し、背景に本堂や参道をぼかして入れることで、ガラスの透明感と涼やかな色合い、風に揺れる情緒まで感じられる奥行きのある一枚に仕上げることです。
