Mt. Fuji and the Milky Way

It's starting to become somewhat of a yearly tradition for me to try to shoot the Milky Way at least once since 2018.

I decided to go to Kawaguchiko because I wanted to try to get the Milky Way and Mt. Fuji in one shot.

Unfortunately, there's still a lot of light pollution in the area, so it wasn't as visible as I had hoped it would be. I think this also prevented me from seeing most of the meteors from the Perseids Meteor Shower. And to make things worse, two of the three nights I was over there were super cloudy.

That said, despite still being a novice in astrophotography, I'm glad I was at least able to make this shot.
