Exploring Yamanashi and around Mt. Fuji - Japan

Spent a weekend in Yamanashi and Shizuoka to visit some cool places around Mt. Fuji.
I used my Fujifilm XT-5 and Sigma 18-50 mm for most of the trip.

I did enjoy tagging along! Thanks! I really liked the image at 8:17 - Something makes it just right in my mind. Also, I'm glad you found some space in some areas free from the crowds.

[@jamesford_jp]

I did haha!

I would have had a FIELD DAY shooting those waterfalls! Slowing down my shutter speed to create the milky effect with a tripod of course. I do landscape and yes weather can make or break a photo shoot. I went up to Milwaukee from Chicagoland on a sunny day. By the time I got to Milwaukee it was cloudy! I was pissed and just walked around shooting black and white! I had better luck the next time though! 😊

The waterfall was absolutely stunning! Probably the most impressive I’ve ever seen. Glad you managed to get better weather on your second try! Hoping I can have similar luck the next time I visit that area hehe :)
