This photograph captures a rare lotus flower with an unusual shape, taken from the side with light streaming in at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology's Ecological Harmony Agriculture Research Institute. Its distinctive beauty and the play of light are truly striking. For those who appreciate such beauty, we highly recommend visiting the lotus flower exhibition at the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology's Ecological Harmony Agriculture Research Institute in Nishi-Tokyo City. Despite being a research facility, it's open to the public, offering a rare opportunity to photograph low-growing lotus flowers up close.The quiet grounds, soft light, and the natural expressions each flower displays. Bringing a macro lens allows you to experience the sensation of the world drawing much closer. ※Admission is only available on special open days.
