Cherry Blossom 2005
Macro Photos
I intended portraits of cherry blossoms with these 5 photos.
They were taken in Hijiyama-park and Takamagahara-park near my house (in
Hiroshima city). I understand well about the condition of flowers there
because I've been there every year. So I could easily find out good flowers
for models of portrait.
Yuki's Weeping Cherry 2005
This cherry blossom tree stands in between houses and personal
garden field, and therefore the photo taking position where no human-made
object disturbs the whole view of the cherry tree is available only for
one or two cameramen while hundreds of cameramen surround the tree in the
flower season. I tried many compositions, angles to take this tree in the
past but the results looked not so good. So I decided to fix composition
and standing position for photo taking this year, instead, to take photos
under various light conditions. These photos indicate that the selection
of the light condition is one of the essence of photography, I think.
The last photo is added for a refreshment, as the other photos look
very similar and you might be boring with them.
