Shooting Sunrise Without Good Light | Photography in Osaka, Japan, Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom

Join me for a wet and cold morning of sunrise photography in Osaka, Japan! In this video, I find myself in a garden next to Osaka Castle with beautiful cherry blossoms in full bloom. Unfortunately, I struggled with finding good light and composition for a sunrise photo, and so settled instead for photographing the people around me. I also utilised some puddles of water on the ground to create some symmetrical photos of the sakura trees. People passing by or on their bicycles make good subjects that helped with the composition of the images.
