Fushimi Inari after dark. (Dec 2025)

Made the full loop up through Fushimi Inari a few nights ago with my Nikon Z6ii. These are some of the better pics that resulted. Very, very different vibe compared to visiting in the daytime. There were signs warning everywhere about boars, and indeed I heard them squealing and grunting in the stream next to the path at one point… thankfully, no face-to-face encounters!

This was my first serious attempt at nighttime photography. Not everything worked out, but I think it looks pretty good compared to some of my earlier attempts! I used Lightroom to touch up the colors and crop a bit in some cases here.

(Kind of hate that I have to add this disclaimer, but: no AI here.)
