The cherry blossoms are quite moody this year.
Or is it like going back to the old days?
The cherry blossoms were in full bloom at the time of entrance ceremonies, but nowadays they reach the end of their blooming period by the time of graduation ceremonies.
Both are still memorable times, but...
As a drone pilot, I think you need to be able to predict things to a certain extent.
(Based on last year's flowering information)
It is extremely difficult to find the moment when all the conditions are met. "1: Sunny, 2: Wind, 3: Full bloom."
I feel this even during my daily shoots.
There is also this word… “Hanagumori” (flower cloudy sky)※
* Cloudy weather during the cherry blossom season. A spring seasonal word. It generally refers to bright, cloudy skies.
Photographers say that the colors of flowers are more visible on cloudy days.
(The color of flowers after the rain is different, etc.)
However, I think that when people watch the footage we shoot, they imagine "blue skies" and "pale pink and white cherry blossoms."
Depending on the location, I think the rape blossoms, cherry blossoms, and blue sky will make the footage even more "eye-catching" (and modern).
This year, many drone pilots have checked the weather forecast "over and over again" and prayed for clear skies.
Just when we thought we could finally fly after making the necessary arrangements, it started raining...
I realized how important it is to keep the cherry blossom season as long as possible. (Permission application)
for example…
You don't give up fishing just because you didn't catch the fish you were aiming for.
Why didn't I catch anything? Did I misread the tide or go at the wrong time?
It's fun because you learn new things every day, such as different fishing spots, so you can't stop.
The same goes for cherry blossoms. I can't take beautiful pictures, and I regret it, but the "cherry blossoms" will not disappear (unless they are cut down).
I would like to try again next year.
I hope that many people will be able to see the cherry blossoms at their best, and that it will provide an opportunity for people to gather and smile.
This year, there are wild cherry blossoms among the green leaves! This is also beautiful.
The cherry blossom season is almost over!
Plan your next move early and fly safely.
There are endless things to photograph.
