Thanks a lot  @Christina-NYC for the helpful post. I'm always exploring Ikoma from north to south.

1. Magic hour

The photos in magic hour is well-known as the great time to shoot. We have "magic season" in Japan. That is called "Water Mirror"(水鏡),the greatest season here, but it always finishes in the blink of an eye.

If you want to see more "Water Mirror" photos, check this post(the previous featured post),please. 

2. The rule of thirds.

We know the rule of thirds is very important. But I don't have enough time to consider such technique in many cases. Google Photos always helps me.

4.Good foreground

I often take seasonal objects in the foreground. It's amazing.

 Hello @Christina-NYC thanking for giving useful tips ....

[DoriyaKiz]

Great tips as always! I think the current "Photo Opportunity" tag is very useful in identifying good spots to take pictures, but perhaps we can consider the ability to frame up an area as well? Something like how Shibuya in Tokyo is framed/marked up: https://www.google.com.sg/maps/place/Shibuya,+Tokyo,+Japan/@35.6702947,139.6904429,13.71z/data=!4m5!...

Thanks!
