This photo was taken from a slightly elevated vantage point at Hanataka Flower Hill, capturing the sunflower field stretching out below. The sight of the vast expanse of yellow flowers swaying in the wind, resembling waves, was truly impressive.If you want to capture summer photos that highlight the contrast between blue skies and flowers, Hanataka Viewing Flower Hill is the perfect location. From July to August, sunflowers bloom everywhere. Low angles, looking up from below to incorporate a large portion of the sky, and bird's-eye views capturing the entire field from the hilltop make for striking compositions.The golden cosmos, blooming slightly later, charm with their soft sway in the breeze. Placing them in the foreground and blurring the sunflowers in the background creates a shot that conveys the seasonal connection between the flowers. This spot, where you can capture both brightness and softness in your photos, is especially recommended for flower lovers and photography enthusiasts.
