Chureito Autumn
This was taken on the day after it snowed on Mt Fuji - you can still see the ring of snow on the mountain clearly demarcating the area that experienced heavy snowfall.
We were deciding between Chureito Pagoda or Fuji Twin Terrace, but ultimately decided upon this location since it was nearer and the overcast day meant that star trails from Fuji Twin Terrace may be a no-go. That, and the possibility of having to camp up there for the night for the stars.
Thankfully, the decision paid off in the end when the clouds gave way to a gloriously dramatic autumn sunset, coupled with snow on Mt Fuji which would be otherwise bare.
We were also discussing computational photography on phones, and how these days even low-end phones would have no issues capturing a dynamic scene like this in a single frame with the help of HDR algorithms. It would have been nice to have such a feature that can be toggled in standard cameras as well!
