Ended up using up 7gb in the end! First time Ive properly used RAW images, and while theyre brilliant for tweaking, its tedious when you have so many to go through.
Goes without saying, had an awesome time out there, no pictures of the Beijing/China part of the trip, far too much smog and everything is covered in scafolding for the olympics. Still need to sort out the few pictures I have from Nepal/Kathmandu.
So in chronological order..
The Barkhor circuit in Lhasa
Laurel and Hardy style cops sitting right in the middle of circuit path playing cards! Random
People praying outside the Jokhang
Tea House off the square near the Barkhor circuit - note Yak butter tea is horrid - like sweaty soaks in your mouth
Outside the Sera Monestary
The Dalai Lamas Summer Palace gardens in Lhasa
The new Summer Palace with some kids looking at the funky fish in the fountain
The Potala Palace also in Lhasa
Within the Potala Palace
Carving of a giant Bhudda
The Usual Suspects - click to enlarge
Jump around
Checkpoint!
Playing around with HDR in a bar the night before reaching Everest Base Camp
Milky Way.... ruined by random light pollution!
Road to Everest
And well finish with a panoramic stiched shot - click to enlarge
Very annoyingly I noticed when I got back that theres a couple of dust specs on the sensor which has meant Ive had to clean/edit all the shots I want to keep.
Most pics taken with my new Canon 10-22mm F/3.5-4.5 ultra wide angle which is a lot of fun to play with, can defintely recommend it. Couple of the closer shots taken with 50mm F/1.8 MKII. Panoramic taken using my 75-300mm on a tripod.
