Mt Fuji Wearing Blue Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken on a recent expedition to the summit of (Mt) Kitadake, the second highest mountain in Japan. Great weather afforded a clear view of Mt Fuji and intermediate mountains and valleys.

This shot was taken using the "dawn/dusk" preset on the camera giving it a mysterious blue wash and enhancing the cold feel of the scene.

Beautiful layer effect amongst the mist. I like the blue tones so good choice with that setting. Mt. Fuji is sitting in the right spot as it makes the photo interesting from corner to corner. Cheers~

Spectacular misty view! The mist creates such a particular atmosphere, and the layer and light effect are amazing! Wonderful photo...I have no words to explain better what I feel.

Its a really great shot. the different shades of blue gives a strong perspective and the overall tonality of colour is really eyepleasing.

Hey Dave,
The layering "transluscent blue" brings you to a trance, makes it a graphic image due to the "blue-wash" tone. I like the overall impact, clouds, sunrays, mist and the depth. I've never seen Mt. Fuji presented this way!

While I was in Japan, I was dreaming about good shot of Fuji, which during several days drowned in clouds so I had to cancel my plans... The only one superb view of the Mountain I saw from the plane.. unfortunately, the camera was too distant that time.. That is why I am so happy to see now, your wonderful "Fuji". All the blues.. all the waving shapes, the silhouette of the Fuji are really breathtaking. Thank you for sharing!

Best, Agnieszka
