Amaryllis at Kameoka & Hagi flower at Toyonaka Sone

The best shooting timing for Cluster Amaryllis at Kameoka would be tomorrow of the day after tomorrow, judging from that of yesterday around 50 % flowering condition. If the timing is right with the rice harvesting, the best production can be expected if the beautifully bundled straw and the smoke that burns the paddy can be reflected in the back. There is no choice but to leave the luck to heaven. 28-70 zoom lens with Macro function for full frame was enough to me for the purpose. Koetsuji in Kyoto and Toko-In at Sone Toyonaka were also visited on the way back home for shooting Hagi flower, the timing were both a bit early, about 1 week interval. Because Hagi flower is as small as 1 cm, 3 x magnification might be useful if one flower should be optimized.
