Showa Kinen Park｜Yellow cosmos (lemon bright) and soft, fluffy foreground blur

Front blur photo of cosmos (lemon bright). It is difficult to get a bokeh effect with a smartphone, but if you get very close, you can get a front bokeh effect to some extent. I focused on the back of the flower and tried to get close to the petals to get the front blur.

Showa Memorial National Park｜Fresh Green Ginkgo Avenue! An Endless Green Tunnel

The ginkgo trees lining the avenue are especially beautiful in their fresh green foliage at this time of year. The straight road stretches endlessly, making it easy to capture a sense of depth and resulting in stunning photos. With the center line visible, I stood there, activated the grid lines during shooting, and focused on the background to achieve a solid composition. The way the green appears differs depending on whether you shoot with the light or against it, so I think you can enjoy both perspectives.

Showa Memorial National Park｜Expansive Cosmos Fields (Lemon Bright) and the Beauty of the Pathways

I wanted to capture the cosmos field from above, focusing on the way the winding path between them curves. Since the sky takes up a lot of the frame, it would be even better if I could get some cumulus clouds in the shot.

Showa Memorial National Park｜Cosmos blooming against the blue sky, a single petal gazing upward

I tried photographing the blue sky and cosmos flowers. Shooting slightly from below creates a beautiful translucent effect on the petals when looking up at the cosmos. I thought that by keeping the camera level with the ground during this shot, it would result in a natural-looking photo.
