Mt Goryu
Looking across to Mt. Goryu (2,814m or 9,232 ft) from Mt Sobatsubu in the Japan Alps . I was recently passing though Tokyo and ducked out to the alps on the bullet train to catch up with a very old friend of mine from my rock climbing days. He now runs the beautiful White Silver Hakuba lodge with his wife. It’s an epic base to hit up the nine ski resorts in the valley. The Hakuba area receives over 10 meters (33 ft) of snow per year with 135 lifts accessing over 200 runs and a heap of backcountry. Japan is one of the most mountainous countries in the world with ~73% of its total land mass covered by mountains (a comparable level to Norway). Hakuba, Honshu, Japan
This was shot on a Canon EOS 6D Mark II and Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM at 400mm, ƒ/7.1, 1/400s, and ISO 400.

Beautiful pastel tones in that sky!
Thanks!
Gorgeous colors in this one man! Japan is a place I’ve always wanted to see, it looks and sounds amazing
Cheers mate! You should get over there for sure. Its such an amazing place to explore.
So beautiful, how are you finding the Mark II by the way?? We have the 6D but not heard amazing things about the second!
Don't believe everything you read on the internet ! Its a great camera and far superior to the original 6D for everything except for perhaps astrophotography (of which I would put it on par ; slightly more noise but more pixels so it you down sample back down to the origional 6D 20MP its about the same for astro). The focusing system for moving people and wildlife photography etc is leagues ahead. The dynamic range might only be on par with the 6D but the original 6D had an excellent dynamic range as it was well ahead of its time when it came out. If your really after high dynamic range , then go over to Nikon or Sony as all Canon cameras lag in that area. The duel pixel focus system is great and needs a lot less light to focus and allows you to focus with live view on.
Thank you for the reply! I am glad to hear it's that good ! I am tempted by the faster frame rate to be honest, the original one is just not good! We would never change to another brand now, too far down the line and think if its not broken don't fix it!! We do tend to do a little astro photography but not enough for it to effect whether we would buy a certain camera! Will have to look into getting a mark 2 I think!
I tend not to take fast frame rate shots. But the auto focusing improvements are massive with with the cross type sensors and the duel pixel focus. One of those things that does not sound like much on paper but in practice I get twice the keepers taking wildlife shots over the 6D. For landscape the extra 6MP is nice but as huge a deal as you would think. If you are professional I would get the 5D IV but I could not justify twice the price for 4MP more and a little bit more dynamic range.
Well for our business we do need a bit of a faster frame rate so that would be good! We don't want the 5D IV it's too big and bulky, I have two on the day and just don't want the extra weight, we are happy with the 6D and no need to change atm!
This is beautiful, mountains are such amazing parts of nature.
Thanks ! There is something special about mountains. Just the power required to create them.
here as well :) following now !
Thanks !
