This photo captures a group of sunflowers at the Kiyose Sunflower Festival, shot at an angle from the side. The sight of these side-facing blooms all turning in unison, like a formation, is truly beautiful. The Kiyose Sunflower Festival, held in Kiyose City, Tokyo, is a spot where you can enjoy dazzling, breathtaking scenery only available for a short time in summer.The vast sunflower fields, unimaginable for being within Tokyo, truly spread out a “landscape symbolizing summer” across the landscape. Capturing the sunflowers blooming powerfully under the blazing sun with a wide-angle lens highlights their immense scale. Shots utilizing backlighting to make the petals translucent are also recommended.Walking along the paths through the tall sunflowers, searching for the perfect angle and light, you'll surely lose track of time.
