Tips for capturing beautiful reflections

Introducing tips and times to take beautiful reflections on Kasamatsu Kawazu Sakura Road!

① Take pictures when there is no wind or a light breeze

If there is strong wind, the water surface will fluctuate, making it difficult to see beautiful reflections. When there is no wind or a light breeze, the fluctuations on the water surface calm down and beautiful reflections appear.

FugamaruKasamatsu Kawazu Sakura Road is located near the sea with good ventilation, so the wind is often strong. I held out for about 3 hours, waiting for the right time for the wind to become light.

② Go early in the morning

Due to meteorological phenomena, the wind becomes weaker in the early morning. If you want to take perfect pictures of beautiful reflections, we recommend visiting around 6am to 7am. *Photo taken at 6:30am

ChamuKasamatsu Kawazu Sakura Road is located near the sea, so you can see the sunrise.

③ Increase reflection with PL filter

A PL filter is a camera tool that reduces reflections from the subject to make the original colors appear more beautiful, but it can also increase reflections.

In this photo, I used a PL filter to successfully make the scenery reflected on the water surface clearer and brighter.

Thanks to the FugamaruPL filter, I was able to reproduce the brightness and color vividness of the scenery in my photos, which is close to that seen with the naked eye.
