This photo was taken at Kumagaya Sports and Culture Park by focusing on the sunflowers in the background and blurring the foreground to enhance the sense of depth. The composition naturally guides the viewer's gaze toward the distance.The sunflower fields at Kumagaya Sports and Culture Park are an ideal spot for capturing summer scenery. Sunflowers stretching nearly as tall as a person, lined up toward the blue sky, resemble a golden carpet. Using backlighting to make the petals translucent enhances their transparency, and adjusting the focus between foreground and background allows for expressions with depth. Adding the Sports Dome or trees as a backdrop will help you capture a shot unique to this location.
