Scenery that can only be seen after the rain
Let's change your eyes and take a wonderful picture! ~
Hello. The active activity is Hanes on holidays.
Wouldn't you be happy if you could take pictures that shine in food and scenery?
I think that there are many people of all ages who have gone out or traveled in search of something that shines, such as superb views and stylish sweets.
However, now that you can't go out as you want and are being alienated from "shining", let's take photos that shine around you!
As is often introduced in magazines and media, there are many gourmets that shine in Chuo-ku, but what about the scenery?
What I often hear as an Instagrammable landscape is the monument of Harumi Wharf and the view from there.
In the other waterfront area, tower apartments reflect and reflect on the surface of the water.
In addition, it may be known as a landscape where the lit-up of the bridge shines.
I've listed some landscapes that shine so far, but what we can say in common is that "water" is included in the subject.
Then, I tried to take a picture that shines using "water" and went out to Ginza and Nihonbashi in search of a place with water.
It is an area that is hard to say to the waterfront area, can you take a picture that really shines?
The "spread world" captured in Ginza
The first place we headed was Ginza early in the morning.
The city center is relatively well drained, but the day before it was raining, so there were puddles on the sidewalks and the edges of the road.
Everyone may have the experience of inadvertently getting into a puddle and getting wet on shoes, socks, and even feet, such as when you are in a hurry.
Needless to say, I am one of them, and when I see puddles in the city, I naturally have a habit of avoiding them.
However, this time, I approached the puddle and looked into it from various angles.
Then, you can see the beautiful upside down world that I thought would be impossible without a big lake or river!
There is a disadvantage that such a photo cannot be taken unless there is a puddle, but this is a new discovery for me who has been searching for "shining" in Chuo-ku so far.
It looks like the world has spread and it has become fun.
It was one of the photos that did not reach the "shining" because I completed the shooting in a short time, but I continued to search for a puddle to shoot using this phenomenon.
"Early morning tranquility" captured in Higashiginza
Next, I went to Higashiginza.
When I couldn't find a puddle near what had a desire to take a picture of" upside down Kabukiza ", and when I gave up and tried to go to Tsukiji, I found a manhole cover with rainwater accumulated .
There is a pattern on the lid, so if you look at it with a mid-skeptic demon and look at it....
Surprisingly, the building was reflected beautifully, and against the backdrop of the white eastern sky, I was able to take a somewhat fantastic picture reminiscent of the early morning silence of the city.
If this is the fog, it will be one that you can no longer imagine shooting in the city of Chuo-ku.
(This time, the leaves that had fallen nearby are floating.)
Even though there were no pedestrians, I couldn't really shoot for a long time, so I took several pictures and went to Nihonbashi.
"The Wonder that emerges" in Nihonbashi
The aim of Nihonbashi is still the famous bridge Nihonbashi.
However, the subject is large, and there are no dizzy puddles nearby.
For the time being, I went to the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store on a side street.
As you may have already noticed, this time we used the puddles in the lower left of this photo.
Here you can enjoy a mysterious scenery as if there is a royal palace under the surface of the water without changing your eyes so much.
If you look down further from here, the entire building will be reflected in a puddle.
In the case of vertical photography, it can contain both the ground building and the reflected building.
Recently, there have been rainy days almost every week and I tended to be depressed somewhere, but taking photos using puddles is unexpectedly fun, and I can't wait for the next rain.
The rainy season comes within two months, so you can enjoy the scenery reflected on the surface of the water in various places from now on.
Regardless of whether you are in Chuo-ku or not, you can take photos that shine by using puddles, mysterious photos, and fantastic photos.
First of all, why don't you take a look at the puddles from around the city?
Sweeping
As I grew up, puddles have become "dislike" for me, such as "dirty" and "wet".
However, looking back at me when I was in elementary school, I remember that I enjoyed the puddles clearly.
In the children's book "Little Wing" (Tami Yoshitomi / Yukiko Kobayashi picture), which I liked in the upper grades, the witch's Limatazmy Gissifuna (read the name from the back!) Will appear.
This witch, who appeared in a puddle in a park after the rain, sends an important message to two girls.
After reading the book, I was able to remember the excitement I had about the puddles this time.
Advice and Precautions
Finally, I will give you advice and precautions in Q&A format.
Q: Is it okay if you don't have a full-fledged camera, such as a single-lens reflex?
A: It's okay! We recommend a smartphone that allows you to bring your camera closer to the edge of the ground by turning it upside down.
This time, I'm taking pictures with my smartphone camera.
However, be very careful not to inadvertently drop your smartphone into the puddle.
Q: Do you have anything to be careful about when choosing a place?
A: As a major premise, dangerous places and places that interfere with traffic are out of the question.
Be careful of time zones and places so that pedestrians do not get in the way on the sidewalk.
Also, since it will be a low angle at the time of shooting, refrain from shooting if there are people around.
It can lead to an unexpected misconception.
Q: It does not produce color or angle as you want. Should I stick until I can take a good picture?
A: Let's take pictures in a short time to avoid disturbing others.
If you are not satisfied, why don't you rely on the merits of civilization and process it with an app?
It's also important to have fun.
