I went to Kyoto for VR shooting. When I entered Kyoto city with plenty of time to spare, the mountains of Kitayama were turning white. As I drove towards Kurama/Kifune, an area I had been interested in for some time, it started snowing around Iwakura. When we arrived at Kifune Shrine, the snow was falling gently and starting to accumulate.

Since the RF5.2mm F2.8 L DUAL FISHEYE is a so-called "demekin" lens, it is not very compatible with snow or rain, but I took the opportunity to take a few photos with it. With a normal camera, a few drops of water or snow doesn't bother you much, but with VR, the water droplets on the lens surface are reflected right in front of your eyes, which can be quite an eyesore. I was careful to wipe off the water droplets when I took the photo, but some remained.

Since it's a tourist spot, I put the DJI RS3 gimbal on a monopod and attached the EOS R5C to it so it won't get in the way. Originally I would have liked to use a tripod, but fortunately I think the blurring has gotten to a level where I don't really notice it.

This video supports stereoscopic viewing. When viewed with VR goggles such as ``Apple Vision Pro'' and ``Meta Quest3,'' you can experience snowy Kyoto with a full sense of reality. If you have it, please try it.
