Sunflower field photographed with perspective at the Kiyose Sunflower Festival

This photo was taken at the Kiyose Sunflower Festival with an eye toward perspective, as if the sunflowers were continuing deeper and deeper into the field. The composition naturally draws the viewer's eye deeper into the field of flowers, creating a sense of expansiveness. The Kiyose Sunflower Festival is a summer-only sunflower event held in Kiyose City, Tokyo. The sunflowers, bright in the sun, embody the power of summer, and are sure to be a photo-worthy sight. Photographing with a wide-angle lens to get a panoramic view of the cluster or taking advantage of backlighting to bring out the beauty of the petals is also appealing. Walking among the towering flowers provides an immersive experience that will make you forget the heat. The sunflowers, which look different each time you visit, will make you want to snap your shutter again and again. *Advance reservations are required on some days. *Because of limited opening hours, admission is not available early in the morning or in the evening.
