On a clear day...

SauloJpn,

Yes, the lens is the key. You won't see this with the naked eye. I'm not saying it isn't a beautiful picture, but the lens and perspective creates an illusion of proximity that just isn't there to this extent.

@Farmboy, this is donne with a good amount of zoom. I am no expert in photography but it's to my understanding that if there are 2 very distant objects and they both seem small you can use a good zoom lens to bring them closer to your viewing spot and bot h of them will seem larger, that is why you can see Fuji san so big. One thing to keep in mind is the focal aperture, you will want a small aperture to get both objects in focus, that would translate to a big f number like f8.0 or higher, that would be my guess.

cute!!

Beautiful. I love how Tokyo gets those blue-sky days all through winter. Makes up for the summers...

With the lens used here Fuji looks much closer than it really is.

Nice, but I prefer our "neighborhood" mountain Asamayama, which is finally covered in snow today. Not only is it much closer, but it makes for a good day-hike as well during all seasons.

Fantastic !

There is no way that Mt. Fuji looks that big from Tokyo.

Majestic photo.

looking west through the skyscraper district of Shinjuku

Wow! Can anyone tell what part of Tokyo this picture was taken from? I don't remember ever seeing a view like that and I wish I had!

Photo of the day is one thing this site does right.

Anyone in Tokyo able to confirm this is real?

Is that the view today?

Moderator: Of course, it is real and was taken today.

Nice photo! With that much zoom you really need the clear air. Very cool!

If it's not photoshop, it's a hell of a lens.

Is this real or photoshop?

Nice photo. The illusion of depth creating largeness is a wonderful effect.

Great photo!!!
