Early flowering cherry blossoms in Ichinoseki-Harane

4


Ichinoseki-Harane is a place about 3,000 square meters where 120 Harumeki Zakura (early flowering cherry trees same as Kawazu Zakura) are planted on the slopes of the Nuda Hills in Minami Ashigara city near Tokyo.
Harumeki means “spring is just around the corner” in Japanese.
It isn’t a popular tourist destination, but if you are familiar with Japan it’s worth visiting.

I really like this photo spot on the bridge where I can overlook the pink carpet.
There were many people than the last year.
Maybe it is gradually getting popular as a nice cherry blossom viewing spot.

I took this photo by iPhone7 Plus without zoom.
I considered the composition based on the grid lines when I took this picture.
(Settings → Photos & Camera → Grid)
I Put the cherry trees on the center square (red circle) as the lead.
To put the thing you focus on the center is a basic of good composition.
And I put the person who walked a path on the line in the lower left (green circle).
You can take a beautiful photo by putting a supporting role things on the line in the lower left, upper left, lower right or upper right.

I set a high value on saturation as this picture wasn’t bright enough. by kind of backlit.
