Hydrangea in the Rain Looks Beautiful in Shinjuku Central Park This Year, Too! But Don't Forget about Hypericum Monogynum!

It was a year ago when I saw Hydrangea at Shinjuku Central Park for the last time. As it was raining today, I finally decided to come to Shinjuku Central Park to see how beautiful the Hydrangea was this year. To tell the truth, Most of the Hydrangea was not in full bloom. It will take about another one week for them.

But Hydrangea serrata was already during the peak period. Compared with the photos last year, my photography skill must have surely be developed, especially in the point of choosing F-number.

Hypericom monogynum is one of the flowers that I saw but didn't take photos of last year. This is mainly because I find it hard to take photos of them beautifully. But today, I hit upon this shot with some raindrops. Rain always gives energy to macro photography.
