Join me on a short 60-second POV photo shoot to capture a shot of the Tanoura Cove and the Tsumekizaki Lighthouse located in Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture in central Japan using the Pentax K1-II camera and the Pentax D FA 28-105mm F3.5-5.6 lens.

Photo 1: Beach along Coastal Trail
Location: Cape Tsumeki, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan
Timestamp: 09:02 on January 25, 2023
Crossing to the other side of the Tsumekizaki Flower Park, there is a small gate hidden from view from overgrown grass and shrubbery where you can access a foot trail called the Suzaki Promenade, which that extends along the coast for about 2.7 km (1.67 mi) to the other side of the cape in the fishing village of Suzaki.
The trail starts out flat, but quickly evolves into lots of stairs going up and down along the coast and a few wood-plank bridges crossing over steep crevices.
At the beginning of the promenade is this quaint little beach in Tanoura Cove. I love the contrast of soft brownish sand and lovely greenish blue shallow waters.

Photo 2: Lighthouse & Crashing Waves
Location: Cape Tsumeki, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan
Timestamp: 09:37 on January 25, 2023
This scene of the Tsumekizaki Lighthouse illustrates the winds blowing from offshore and clashing with waves crashing onshore.
Great conditions for shooting seascapes since I don’t have to worry about sea spray hitting my lens and gear!
