Seiya Nakai's Enjoy Railway Life "Joytetsu!": Let's enjoy the rainy season!-The digital camera Watch

The rainy season is coming from the south of Japan, and the Kanto region is finally in the rainy season.In the past, people expressed the "rainy season" in the wind, but this is already a fine rainy season.If the weather is bad, the tension will not rise, but even in this season, this season is a chance to create a different work.Don't hate the rain, let's enjoy the rain with the camera!This time, I will show you a work with the theme of rain, so please try it as a hint to enjoy the rain.

What I have in the photo above is a spo -cho (blower) that flies dust such as lenses, but it is recommended to use it on a rainy day because it can blow off water droplets.If you wipe it with a towel, the trace of the water will remain, but if you fly the water droplets, you will be able to shoot immediately.Please try it.

Speaking of rainy season flowers, hydrangea.The Hakone Tozan Railway, which was catastrophically damaged by last year's heavy rain, is currently being restored.The whole line is scheduled for late July, so it is a pity that we cannot take a train this year and trains, but let's look forward to it next year.The Hakone Tozan Railway has a telephone pole standing on both sides of the track, so the utility pole tends to be in the way when the composition is created, but the hydrangea is well attached to hide the telephone pole to make it a neat composition.Although it is a railway photo, the focus is made to hydrangea.Silk -like raindrops were reflected, making it a very rainy season.

On a rainy day, the scene where the scenery shines in the rain and shines is also aimed.This is Sennoto Bridge in Toshima Ward, Tokyo.The Toden Arakawa Line runs, wrapped in a dense forest that is unlikely to be in the city center.The trees around the track were wet in the rain, shining a mysterious atmosphere.In order to emphasize the atmosphere, I adjusted the white balance and used it to add green, and finished it as if it were taken with a positive film.In terms of composition, the green of the fence in the foreground and the back forest are shown to two steps, making the three -dimensional effect stand out.

The trick is to put a subject that makes you feel the rainy season, like the seasonal word of haiku.Here, we mainly express the seasonal feeling of the rainy season, mainly "umbrella", which can be said to be the seasonal word of the rainy season.By aiming directly below the pedestrian bridge overlooking the track, I was able to shoot with the image of "umbrella flower" blooming on a track depicting a designed curve.

This is the same umbrella, a powerful landscape of the city.I wanted to express the power of the umbrella wave at a scrambled intersection with many people, and on the most crowded night, I emphasized the compression effect with a telephoto lens.I wanted to aim for a colorful umbrella flower, but now most are vinyl umbrellas.Somehow the jellyfish is flowing on the surface of the water, but I think this has become a powerful rainy landscape.

In Hachimantai -Rikuchu Osato on the Hanawa Line, each of the water droplets that accumulated at the end of the nanacamad shines like a jewel.Although it was a dark situation, there was a considerable distance to the track, so I raised the sensitivity to ISO 3200 and narrowed down to F16.It is easy to take advantage of the blur, but the train should not lose its presence, so I changed the aperture frequently and decided the aperture value while checking the blurred condition.

It is difficult to aim for a superb view on a rainy day, but there is a hidden sight that can only be taken without rain.What I found was a grasshopper parent and child who was steadily enduring cold rain.The merciless rain has become a work that feels the harshness and beauty of nature and the love of parents who protect the child.On the Rikuha Higashi Line.

This is an example where the aim was too metamorphosis (laughs).I am shooting the Musashino Line reflected in the water drops on a rainy day.Such water droplets are blown by the wind more than expected and move around to the left and right.Furthermore, when the wind blows a little, it falls, so I couldn't use a tripod, so it looked pretty easy.It is a wonder world where only macro lenses show.But I don't know this train (sweat)

On a rainy day, the water drop itself is also aimed at it.I went to the Seaside Top Observatory of the Trade Center Building in Hamamatsucho to shoot the landscape, but unfortunately it was raining.So I gave up taking the landscape, and I tried to play the water drops on the window glass of the building.In order to make the water drops stand out, I narrowed it into a pamphlet, and dared to use the white balance in bulb mode.This has become a fantastic scene as if the whole city sank into water, as if bubbles were rising from the city.There is a big difference depending on whether you think that water droplets are in the way or a wonderful subject.

Like the previous photo, it is a work that uses water drops as the main character.Even though the water droplets are not blurred even though they are shooting, they look like a synthetic photo, but there is no seed or shikake (laughs).I just took the lens with water droplets.No matter how much the landscape flows, the water droplets will move with the lens, so it will be perfect.In addition, the water droplets on the lens are usually blurred, but I narrowed down the aperture with a fisheye lens to clearly describe the polka dots.Since the locomotive was flowing with a low -speed shutter, the train was flowing, but the water drops were stopped, and it was a mysterious photo.

This is considered the rain itself as the leading role, focusing on the rain, and blures the Isumi Railway track.Even if you say that you focus on the rain, you can't see the rain, so check the background blur, put focus in an appropriate position, and then take a continuous shooting that good raindrops fall there.wait.

In order to make the raindrops as expected, I photographed while changing the shutter speed, and chose the shutter speed in a round grain.It depends not only on the shutter speed but also with the momentum of rain, so it is important to take a test shot and find a way of looking for your favorite.Here's a change in the way of raindrops by shutter speed.

1/6,400秒1/640秒1/200秒

This is shooting by changing the shutter speed on a very heavy rainy day.In 1/6,400 seconds, the raindrops are round, but the slower the shutter speed, the longer the rain lines are.Which length is preferable depends on the situation, so it's important to change the shutter speed frequently.

This work was taken at Dewa Park in Koshigaya City, Saitama Prefecture.By shining the flash towards the sky and stopping the raindrops, it became a romantic expression like a starry sky.The light at the back of the freight train was strong, so the train was small, but I was able to make it look like a picture book illustration.

First of all, the exposure is determined by manual operation so that it becomes appropriate regardless of the flash, the flash is not auto but the manual emission mode is used, and the light emitting part is shinified while adjusting the brightness.Not only the amount of flash light, but also the strength of the rain changes, so let's take a test shot anyway.

Next is the aim of the rain crown hit by the platform.The tail lamp that runs away is the Italian Shinkansen "Italo".I am a complete suspicious person who lays down on the platform at Milan Chuo Station and aiming for a water crown, but don't worry, there is no one around the tip of the home on a rainy day.It is important to imagine the work that you want to take such a picture, and if you want to realize it, it is important to be so good that your clothes will not be good if your clothes can become a bichobicho (laughs).

It's okay to go to the neighborhood for the blog "One iron a day!"Looking at it, I noticed that a jewel -like polka dot floats when it rained in the rice field.It was a shooting in a pretty strong rain, but I couldn't tell where the rain would fall, so I put it in a texture position, and when the train came, I just pushed the shutter.Whether or not to appear!

Finally, this one was taken on the several trains.The water drops left in the air after the crown collapsed was very fantastic.After all, the pants became mud and messed up, but I am very satisfied with taking a wonderful moment.Even in a nearby park on a rainy day, you can take such a work depending on the idea.Please prepare a replacement pants (laughs).
