This photograph captures the faint morning light filtering through the lotus flowers blooming near Shinobazu Pond, where the delicate play of light accentuates the softness of the lotus.If you're taking photos in Ueno during summer, Shinobazu Pond is an essential spot to visit. In the early morning, lotus flowers bloom across the pond, floating on the water's surface. The pale pink petals combined with the morning light create a fantastical scene. Aim to capture the moment when soft light filters through a half-open lotus flower for a delicate, deep-looking photograph.Part of the pond features a display of wind chimes. Their tinkling sound as they sway in the breeze delivers summer to both your eyes and ears. The vermilion Benten Hall, the lotus flowers, and the translucent wind chimes combine to create a scene straight out of a storybook. You can capture the lotus's expression with a telephoto lens or take in the entire landscape with a wide-angle shot. Shinobazu Pond is a photography spot that symbolizes Tokyo's summer, and I can confidently recommend it.
