Great photo!!!

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

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

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

Anyone in Tokyo able to confirm this is real?

Is that the view today?

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

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!

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.

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

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

@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.
