Join me on a photo shoot to capture the grand, tall Tsumekizaki Lighthouse located on Cape Tsumeki in the city of Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. 今回は、静岡県下田市にある爪木崎の「爪木崎灯台」の海景写真撮影の為に行ってきました。
On this photo shoot, we go on a morning walk to shoot seascapes including a grand view of the Tsumekizaki Lighthouse.
Photos were shot on the full-frame DSLR Pentax K1-II with the Pentax D FA 28-105mm f3.5-5.6ed DC WR HD lens.
Cape Tsumeki in the city of Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, is located within a 2- to 3-hour drive from Tokyo (depending on traffic) or a 2.5 hour train/bus ride if you take the bullet train from Shinagawa Station.
The cape is a picturesque location on the easternmost part of the Izu Peninsula and is a popular spot for sightseeing, swimming, fishing, and hiking.
Check out my blog post for this photo shoot where details of all the photos are provided in addition to more in-depth looks at the historical background of this cape, its unique attractions, how to access, and source references for all the details I researched.
