It seems that a woman who covers herself with water is not a water lover. Because in his hand was an aluminum bucket. It is said to be a prayer to prevent fires caused by water-covering. The scene of him splashing himself with water with a burst of spirit makes you feel that “something” is going to happen next. The moment the water is backlit, it looks so beautiful and gives you a sense of momentum and strength. The lighting conditions seemed to be good for giving a sense of transparency. It’s not just about having a good subject. The background is also very dramatic. Items that give a sense of festivals and tradition, such as lanterns, shimenawa ropes, and torches, are arranged in a well-balanced manner and fit perfectly into the screen. By combining these elements, we were able to pack all the necessary information into the composition, and were able to pack all the charm of the festival into a single image.

It’s wonderful how the beauty of water droplets is directly expressed without showing flowers with water droplets on them. The use of light to make all the water droplets shine, the angles, and the way the lens is directed to focus on one subject while showing off the numbers are also perfect. By capturing water droplets at different distances, various sizes of bokeh are created, creating a sense of depth even in the world of macro photography, creating countless sparkles across the screen and highlighting the subject matter. I set the focus on the surface of the water droplet, but if I had gone even a little deeper and could see the reflection, the true beauty of the water droplet would not have come out so well.
