Fuji-san Sunrise

To see the picture is breathtaking. I can't imagine what it was like to look over top of the camera.
Agradable
Wow!!
Their is peace in the world, timing is everything. Great Shot.
很漂亮
definitely breath-taking
like if its hole in the lake and its sucks every thing down
Breathtakingly beautiful
the reflections are superb! The water must've been like glass!!
太美了,有一种马上启程的冲动!
Outstanding Perspective!
Fuji-san Sunrise by Nate-san.
Got up at 4am to go see this. Was worth it.

Also faved. Another great shot that makes me wish I were out there. It would have been good with only the mountain; with the reflection as well...wonderful.

very good shot.
Did you plan this? did you notice this spot beforehand and said to your girlfriend: "let's wake up at 4 am and go shoot Fuji san from this place"?

Nate-san  Pro User  says:

Thank you. Actually one of my Japanese friends went many years ago with an old girlfriend to watch the sunrise. This year he bought a camera and thought it would be a good idea to go back so he invited me to come along. We weren't the only photographers there at 6am (after a 2 hour drive). Tiring but worth it.

Firstly, that's just made me gasp out loud the photo is that good (and it's so early here that counts as a religious miracle) and secondly, I'm now incredibly excited because I'm planning to go there!

Fantastic! Living in Japan, as you know, you see an awful lot of Fuji shots, but this is relaly great. The reflection is, of course, very cool, but what makes it for me is the limited color on the peak and the wispy clouds across the sky. Niceness! You've inspired me to drive down there sometime.

@ Pesky: Thanks! Make sure you get there early. The clouds drifted in by lunch time.

@ Pfflyers1: Thank you.

@ TruShu: Thank you. After seeing so many Fuji shots the one thing I was trying to avoid was another average photo. Of course the red cap helps. That's not such a common thing to see and it only lasted for about 5 minutes.

@ Koshyk: Thank you.

A very nice shot of Fuji-san. It is well photographed for a reason-it constantly chages, and you don't see the same view twice. This stands out amongst the good ones. Well done!
