miller 1 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 OK I know we have a photography thread, but I want to talk about good mountains to shoot. I'm really into mountain scenery - both in winter and out of winter, and wondering what your favorites are? I really love Myoko and that area. That is a really good looking mountain. Another good place that I really like up in Shiga Kogen there are some really good shapes going on up there. Can't wait to get out there with the camera. Link to post Share on other sites

miller 1 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Well I haven't been since I got my new camera, so I am going to wait until I can go armed with the beast. I certainly will post when I have them! Link to post Share on other sites

merryJim 1 Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Those mountains in the Alps in Toyama are hard to beat. As are the Hakuba peaks. Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I like the area around Mt Asama in Gunma. I'm not madly into photography actually but I am keen to make more records of where I go. That photography thread has gone mad in the last few months it seems. Link to post Share on other sites

viv&kev 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I really love the scenery around Kusatsu (Shirane? the top volcano area) and also the one at Zao in Yamagata. I have some pics somewhere will have to get them up. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 On the way up Hakkai-san there are some really interesting jagged parts that you have to climb up and down on chains and ropes. Good fun it is, but you won't catch me up there with a decent camera! Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Mt Youtei is incredibly photogenic (when not covered in cloud). The symetrical conical peak rising straight out of the plains dominates the landscape. The summit produces some amazing cloud formations and I for one just can't seem to stop taking photos of it even though I already have hundreds of em. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 My im gay was not about this thread but about what you can photogragh if you actually get out there. Yotei Fuji Daisen Come on thats like everyones answers. Thats my "Gay" comment that was taken out. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted June 25, 2007 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted June 25, 2007 The post that we deleted last night consisted of the following one word: Gay Other than perhaps to yourself, a one word response with a word like that only comes across as either simply insulting or as sarcasm. Given what happened in another thread, it seemed like a direct comeback to another member (miller). We don't want posts like that on these Forums. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Thats why I re-posted Link to post Share on other sites
miller 1 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Quote: Thats why I re-posted ... over 12 hours after the original post was deleted by SJ, and after I pointed out your put-down in the photography thread. I see. (Though I suppose you have special rights to insult and be sarcastic when you see fit, as a 'long standing member', right?) Anyway I'm really not one for confrontation or nastiness, never thought I'd be caught up in something like this! I'm not going to get any more involved in any of this at all.

Fattwins 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Mate look at how much ive posted over the past month and maybe you would see that I dont get much time to post these days. thus a 12 hour delay just thought Id point that out. Link to post Share on other sites

the best skier here 0 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Well, I would have to choose yotei as well. But... near where I live I think there is spectacular scenery in the Shiga Kogen - Sugadaira area of Nagano. Take some of the tiny roads up the mountains. Fantastic place.
