Chureito Pagoda
Photography / Editing
OVERVIEW
There are many spots in Japan to take a photo of Mt Fuji, Chureito Pagoda is one of them.
​
Taken at Fujiyoshida nearing sunset, the light was soft, so it was just the matter of finding the right composition for a great shot.
CHALLENGE
Landscape photography usually requires a wide-angle lens shot at higher apertures. I only carried an iPhone 6S to take the shot.
​
Popular spots usually have a massive crowd. You need to be creative to find the right angle to avoid them.

ORIGINAL PHOTO

EDITING PROCESS

There was potential, but many things had to be fixed.
​
The goal was to create a contrast between the Pagoda & Mt Fuji.

The composition rule for this photo is simple but it works.
FINAL PHOTO
The rest is just colour grading according to personal taste.
