Yasukuni Shrine on Pinterest and National Geographic The Yasukuni Shrine is an essential component of the Mitama Festival, which has been conducted annually for more than 70 years. Emperor Meiji established this Shinto shrine in 1869. It honors the Japanese soldiers who lost their lives in the 1860s and mid-1900s during the Boshin and First Indochina Wars. One potential camera to utilize is the Canon 5D Mark III, which would do a wonderful job of catching the lanterns' brilliant light in all of its clarity.

10. Mr. Eruption Bromo

Potential Camera: Full Frame Canon EOS R5 Purchase Location: Canon.com Price: $3,899* This image of Mt. Bromo erupting was captured by photographer Pradeep Raja, who added a black and white filter for an added sense of unease. Raja entered his photo in the 2017 "Your Shot" competition, and it won an award. The effort required to climb to the top and capture Mt. Bromo's eruption is not the only reason for this.

While the crater's loud noises and dense smoke were "scary," Raja, who recorded the 2016 eruption, said he was "happy" to have "witnessed [his] first volcanic eruption." Canon's EOS R5 Full Frame, a highly regarded nature photography camera, would have been ideal for this kind of scene.
