sunset on a New Year's Day

Kokubunji, 2021.01.01

We went out to see the sunset. There's a thing that photographers do in this country called "Diamond Fuji", where you capture the setting sun just at the peak of Mount Fuji. I asked a local pro photographer whether I'd captured it but he pointed out that it wasn't truly at the peak.

This whole thing reminded me to clean my lenses better and to do something about the dust on my sensor.
