In Japan, the full moon in September is called the “Mid-Autumn Moon.
It was a clear day, so it was a perfect day for photography.
I grabbed my Panasonic GH5S and two lenses, the 14mm-140mm f/3.5-5.6 and the NOKTON 25mm f/0.95, and ran out to the front and climbed up “Kureha Mountain” overlooking the urban area of Toyama City to capture the moon and the night view.
As I expected, I couldn’t get close enough with the 140mm lens, and the moon was too small in this shot. It’s a pity.
In Japan, there is a custom to eat dumplings that look like the moon on the day of the Mid-Autumn Moon to give thanks for the harvest of rice, the staple food. When I get home today, I’m going to eat dumplings with my family.
