Many thanks. In a hind sight, I should have moved a hundred meter or so further upper stream to get another shot at a stretch of the stream leading to the peak.

Thank you very much Gavin. Now that you mentioned it, I tend to agree with you that some images would look more natural with less shadow lifting.

Many thanks, Reto.

Many thanks, Garry. Yes, the red light should be removed. I do not mind the stone in #5 though.

Thank you Robert. Usually, mid Oct is marginal, as it could snow any time. This year the snow came late. The weather was so good that towards the end of the hike we were alreading contemplating ...

Thank you, Garthorn. Right now foreigners need special permit to travel to Tibet, which may be difficult to obtain. So your easier choice is Nepal or Pakistan, i.e., when the pandemic is behind us ...

Thank you very much.

Many thanks, JD. Yes, I noticed the dust spot on the top left corners, but was just too lazy to clone it out. Inevitable if you changed lens from time to time in dusty environment which is often ...

Thank you very much, Beliers. It was certainly an amazing trip. Already planning another one next June.

Many thanks, David.

I bought this lens a few days before this trip, as I often found my 24-105 a little short in the tele end during my previous hikings.

Many thanks, jhorse. Yes, once you get over the high altitude (4700-5300m) sickness, the trip was so enjoyable.

Thanks. We spent two nights in the first camp site to get aclimatized to the high altitude. So I had luxury of a whole afternoon to look around for an advantageous location for such a shot that ...

Would like to share a few images shot from a 7 day hike hugging Xixabangma (8012m) and a drive around Zanda, Tibet. I only took two lenses, 28-200/2.8-5.6 Tamron and 15/2 Laowa, to be as light as ...

Vitée, That's a super shot. It's a wonderful scene to shoot but not easy to frame right.  You did it perfectly. I also like how the shadows of the trees are lifted just enough to have some details ...

Like it for there being a mood to convey and your picture does it well. A moody tranquility, like what you sometimes find in landscape paintings.

Tele zooms certainly have their use in landscape, and they can be advantageous if not indispensable. When hiking in Nepal, I often found my 24-105 too short for, say, a temple in the mist on the ...

First of all, a good pick of a trip. I went there twice consecutively last Summer. Here's a link to some images I posted after the 2nd visit: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/63083167, as a ...

Here are a few from me. Hiking in West of Sichuan, China. Camera used is Sigma  DP0Q which has a 21mm FF equivalent fixed  lens. Not quite wide enough, but it was the widest lens I had then, so had ...

Ah, even further up North. I was wondering, too.  Stayed  there a couple of times. Wonderful place to live in.
