Exploring the Wonders of Northern Japan
The hot season has finally arrived in Japan. Temperature soar to 30+C and I’m left sweating the days away.
It’s not all that bad, however. One of the nice things about this time of year are the flowers. You can see many different kinds, and if you are lucky, you can grab a good picture of them as well.

June is here, and that means it’s flower time. Japan has to this awesome ability to spawn flowers on demand the way many teenagers are able to populate their faces with acne.
I used the great June weather to go out and capture this beautiful field of violet flowers. In my opinion, the best time for flower photography is near sunset or just after sunrise. Any other time and the light is just too harsh. If you must shoot in mid day, consider a polarizing light filter, or a shoot with a lower F number to keep those harsh sun beams from overexposing your shots. If you can wait for some clouds to come it might just provide a little softening on those harsh shadows. Enjoy!
