Yuki's Passion 1 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 was a long time ago here. I believe it was taken by SJ1 and it was a dawn shot or a dusk shot looking at, I believe one of the Yuzawa resorts. I tried looking through the old SIJ thread but couldnt find though Im sure its there in the 600 plus pages. That was a beautiful picture he took. Anybody know which one Im talking about?

SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted January 10, 2010 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 10, 2010 I'm really doubting (a lot) that it was me who took this most beautiful picture you have ever seen! Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Was it Muikabochi? Knew he/she took some from Gala looking into Yuzawa. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I think Creeky means a photo looking down a resort with the lights on. Lots of people commented on it. My guess would be that it was a publicity shot taken with an indigo filter, because it was very purple. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted January 11, 2010 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted January 11, 2010 If that is the one you are referring to, here it is. It is of Joetsu Kokusai in Minamiuonuma (Niigata) - a photo they used for promotional material for a few years. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 From the purple-ness of it, surely that has to be a filter? Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 This is not quite the same angle - this is taken from the area to the right of the above photo, but looking in the same kind of direction. I was planning on trying to take a pic from the same place today but my day was cut short by the zip on my bag breaking. Link to post Share on other sites

I saw a scene up at Furano that made me think of that over the holidays. Thanks for reposting that! Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I like the colours Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 It's great! I think I prefer obviously artistic photos to supposed-to-be natural ones with highly unnatural sharpness, saturation, coloration, "punchiness" or whatever that you can find all over on the Net. The main thing here is that that view (and Muika's) will look a loads better in real life even if its not purple. Not least because that's tiny on my screen! Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 That is a fine picture. This valley often has low cloud like that early morning, clearing up as you climb into Yuzawa. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Thanks for the big version! The clouds look like dawn so I suspect at least some of the hotel lights and the lights in the gloom have been painted in. That's a Hakuba Cortina type hotel btw. It might look quite a bit different up close! Link to post Share on other sites
