This photograph was taken at the Ofuna Flower Center, consciously capturing light and composition by shooting lotus flowers from a slightly low angle, looking up toward the sky as a backdrop and letting sunlight filter through. Kanagawa Prefecture's "Ofuna Flower Center" is a photo spot renowned for its seasonal flowers and tranquil location. Tulips, hydrangeas, lotus flowers, cosmos, sunflowers, and more bloom in competition, keeping the grounds vibrantly colorful year-round. The flowerbed designs are also planned with photogenic appeal in mind, making it easy to frame great shots from any angle. Photographing lotus flowers, where handling the light is key, is especially rewarding; the soft backlight of early morning highlights the beauty of the petals. It's a spot offering satisfying photography experiences for everyone, from beginners to experienced photographers.
