Travel photography｜Hakone sunset｜Mount Fuji and Torii⛩️

I got up early and arrived late one day. I wanted to take a picture of the golden summit of Fuji, but unfortunately it was all cloudy in the morning. The true appearance of Mount Fuji was not revealed until noon, but the lake was not as calm as in the morning.

Taking pictures of the scenery does rely on luck. For office workers, using their only weekends and holidays to gamble with the weather can bring surprises as well as disappointments. The more photographic the scenery, the more likely its topography will form its own microclimate. Conventional weather forecasts are only for reference. In the end, you will only know the weather after you go to the camera position and wait for it.

So I often see netizens commenting under some landscape photos saying that they are all fake photos and marketing, and that they are not as beautiful as they actually are when they are there. Sometimes I feel really helpless. Many places may not be as beautiful as in photos just because you did not go to see them in the right season or at the right time, that's all. Just because you haven’t seen a beautiful scenery doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

This set of photos was actually the result of waiting at the same spot from 6 a.m. before dawn until 4:30 p.m. after the sun set. Although the morning wait was wasted, fortunately the sunset was still good. I selected a few satisfactory ones and posted them here. I hope you like them.
