Fuji-San II

Posted by Kelly Photography (Tokyo, Japan) on 11 December 2006 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This is another picture of Mt. Fuji but from a different place. Yesterday's was from Kawaguchi-ko (lake) which was one of the great lakes formed when Fuji erupted. This was taken from Hakone which is pretty close to Mt Fuji as well but just from a different angle and a different season.

Enjoy everyone!!

Tell me what you think.

@claireg: Thank you very much for your comment. I recommend visiting Japan just for Mt Fuji!! It's breathtaking!!

Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia

A great scene, I like how there's interesting details in the foreground as well as the dominant Mt. Fuji in the back. I think you've done well with the lighting here as it would have been pretty easy to overexpose the sky or underexpose the foreground. Excellent take!

@Chris Sullivan: Yeah, gotta love the shadow highlight tool!! I had to mess around with this photo a bit to get the lighting right. But you should've seen the real thing it was gorgeous!! Thanks for your visit mate!!

Darren from Japan

@Darren: Yeah this was a shot from my Sony Cybershot soooo I didn't think it was really good. But I'm glad other people think so. Yay!!

Stu from Kyoto, Japan

Shadow Mountains from Kyoto, Japan

@Shadow Mountains: Thank you very much.

Duncan Galbraith from kyoto, Japan

Now this is very very good. compostionally its marvellous with the 3 different horizons proving interesting by themselves. The cloud layer behind that 3rd horizon before you hit Fuji-san itself gives everything a great sense of scale. Great shot. Looks like the gates to mordor are just over that hill there, watch out for orcs!

@Duncan Galbraith: Haha, yeah Japan's "outback" is pretty intimidating sometimes and there are many things to watch out for such as earthquakes and tsunamis but there are beauties that are not found in any other place on the planet. I hope I've given everyone a taste of what Japan looks like.

Jenny from Manchester, United Kingdom

Gorgeous shot.

@Jenny: Thanks mate!! Thanks for your visit.

Damon Schreiber from Toronto, Canada

Wow, also beautiful, but in a very different way. This one is less dynamic, but has more serenity from the smooth tones. I envy you; whenever I've been past Fuji (not very often) it's been either hidden by clouds or nighttime. Someday I'll see it.

@Damon Schreiber: haha, yeah Mt Fuji is hit an miss mate...Suprisingly I've been 4 times and all times have been ok. Maybe you should come with me!! haha. Better luck in the future with Fujisan. Thanks for your visit!! I like your idea of imitating other photograpers and putting yourself into the pictures too!!

Aaron Schmidt from Auckland, New Zealand

Excellent layering ... this is just beautiful.

@Aaron Schmidt: Thank you very much...Thanks for visiting.

max weir from New Zealand

Simply beautiful!! One of the best Ive seen

11 Dec 2006 7:32pm

@max weir: Thanks mate...I'm glad you enjoyed it. Welcome to my site.

mbettik from America, United States

Great shot!
I love how there are actually two middle grounds (the green hill and the dark ridge) before my eyes even get to Mt. Fuji.

@mbettik: Thank you very much. I was hoping the foreground would lead you too the massive and overpowering site of Mt Fuji!! I wish you could see this in real life...it's breath taking!!
