In this photo, I slightly blurred the front of the blooming rape blossoms and focused on the flowers in the back. The result is a spring landscape with a three-dimensional feel. Koganei Park is one of the best spots in Tokyo for photographing flowers, surrounded by vast grounds and abundant nature. In spring, the park is decorated with seasonal flowers such as rape blossoms, cherry blossoms, and lily of the valley, making it an attractive place to encounter a succession of subjects just by walking around. On a clear day, the contrast between the yellow rape blossoms and the blue sky is so beautiful that you can capture a composition that looks good even in the distance. There are many varieties of cherry blossoms, and you can enjoy the avenue of Someiyoshino cherry trees and the graceful weeping cherry trees at different times of the day and from different angles. Lily orchids blooming in the shade of trees in the park are quietly pretty, and if you get close enough, you can capture a shot that evokes the tenderness of spring.
