Nepal - Himalayas - Everest mono
I wanted to go for a bit of drama with the post production on this B&W shot of Mount Everest, maybe this has a bit too much as the increase in contrast has produced some banding and excess grain (strangely it's not so apparent when viewed in Photoshop....). I'll have to have another go at the RAW file when I get a chance, one problem with the shot is that the original is quite low contrast as it was taken through a not very clean cockpit window.
Whilst making a print of the Everest Panorama shot below for someone I realised when I went back to the original RAW files that I've only uploaded a handful of my photos of my trip to Nepal. Despite being shot on my old Nikon D70 I really think that many more of them deserve to see the light of day, including some more from the Buddha Air flight into the Himalayas to see Mount Everest.
PS : Uploading them now.......

From Wikipedia : "Mount Everest (Tibetan: ཇོ་མོ་གླང་མ, Chomolungma or Qomolangma /ˈtʃoʊmoʊˌlɑːŋmə/ CHOH-moh-LAHNG-mə, "Holy Mother"; Chinese: 珠穆朗玛峰; pinyin: Zhūmùlǎngmǎ Fēng; Nepali: सगरमाथा, Sagarmāthā) is the Earth's highest mountain, with a peak at 8,848 metres (29,029 ft) above sea level. It is located in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas. The international border between China and Nepal runs across the precise summit point. Its massif includes neighboring peaks Lhotse, 8,516 m (27,940 ft); Nuptse, 7,855 m (25,771 ft); and Changtse, 7,580 m (24,870 ft).
In 1856, the Great Trigonometric Survey of British India established the first published height of Everest, then known as Peak XV, at 29,002 ft (8,840 m). In 1865, Everest was given its official English name by the Royal Geographical Society upon a recommendation by Andrew Waugh, the British Surveyor General of India. Waugh named the mountain after his predecessor in the post, Sir George Everest. Although Tibetans had called Everest "Chomolungma" for centuries, Waugh was unaware of this because Nepal and Tibet were closed to foreigners."
