Tama River Bridge (Hachiko Line), spot for photographing train reflections in the morning glow

The Tama River Bridge (Hachiko Line) is a precious spot where you can capture the morning glow and train reflections at the same time. Especially in the early morning when the wind is light, the surface of the water becomes like a mirror and the running train and the dyed sky are reflected beautifully on the surface of the river.

Key points for photography

The key to photographing this scene is to choose an early morning when there is no wind, and to be on standby before sunrise. Aim for the moment when the river surface is calm, and compose your shot from a low angle with a wide view of the water surface, so that the reflection of the train and the morning glow will be beautiful. The train should not be the main subject, but rather an accent, and the exposure and settings should be adjusted before the train passes by so that you are ready for that split-second shutter opportunity.
