A bit blurry as I was hanging out of the last coach to obtain the shot
I was practicing with my 1.4 converter on my 100-400 lens. Unfortunately, the auto focus doesn't work on lenses with more than f4. So I have been in manual focus mode. I am planning a trip to Yellowstone in May and need the longest glass I can use. More duck.
On this, the 8th day of our successful 16-day trek to the K2 North Base Camp and the North Gasherbrum Glacier in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China, we trekked some 18 km (11.2 mi.) up the Shaksgam River from the campsite I called Junction Camp (elevation 3,840 m, 12,598 ft.) to the camp I called Quinghongtan North (elevation 3,968 m, 13,018 ft.), where we camped for the night. During the day we mounted the loads on our camels on three occasions to cross channels of the Shaksgam. Here our camels take a break on the true right bank of the Shaksgam River just 2.4 km (1.5 mi.) west of Quinghongtan North. Left of center on the skyline, Peak 6466 (21,214 ft.) is seen at left and Peak 6200 (20,341 ft.) is on the right. The angular snow-capped peak right of center is Peak 6384 (20,945 ft.). All three of these peaks lie on the watershed between the Shaksgam and Zug Shaksgam Rivers. The peak just visible behind the brown ridge at right rises to 5,836 m (19,147 ft.). We camped at the greenery at the foot of the slope at right (Quinghongtan South) on the third day of our trek en route to the K2 North Base Camp.
Approaching over the north pole after nearly a five-year journey, Juno enjoys a perspective on Jupiter not often seen, even by spacecraft from Earth that usually swing by closer to Jupiter's equator. Looking down toward the ruling gas giant from a distance of 10.9 million kilometers, the spacecraft's JunoCam captured this image with Jupiter's nightside and orbiting entourage of four large Galilean moons on June 21. JunoCam is intended to provide close-up views of the gas giant's cloudy zoned and belted atmosphere. On July 4 (July 5 UT) Juno is set to burn its main engine to slow down and be captured into its own orbit around the giant planet. If all goes well, it will be the first spacecraft to orbit the poles of Jupiter, skimming to within 5,000 kilometers of the Jovian cloud tops during the 20 month mission. via NASA go.nasa.gov/29cW6Pi
