Mt. Everest???


Here is one for Mike. I think this is Mt. Everest but I will have to compare the shot to others. This mountain stood out above the clouds while flying. The shot is with my 300mm telephoto lens and enhanced with Picasa2's I'm feeling lucky. Earlier that day I had made to mistake of switching lenses without powering off the camera. I think I have managed to get most of the dust off the ccd. I am still looking for a camel hair brush and need to look at the official cleaning procedure.

Wildlife













Many of my friends already know I have a great love for animals. Here is just a few that I have found.

A little Photo Housekeeping











I'm back with more photos for the blog. Okay, I have a confession. I uploaded these pictures to my server over a month ago so I could post them easier. I figure I had better finish posting old photos of Garo Hills before moving on to our new Cuddapah project posts. Furthermore I have to confess all of these photos were taken in the first two weeks of our stay in Garo Hills. Don't worry Gina and I are headed to the main office where we will once again have an internet connection faster than dial-up.

Let's take a walk down memory lane.
The first night the rains stopped I was overwhelmed by the vast starry sky above me. I pulled our my 50mm 1.8 prime lens and took some extended exposure shots. That was fun, Gina wondered what happened to me for an hour.

Next there is a photo I like of Gina. Getting the internet through the satellite connection was a trick at times.
The next series of pictures are from around the house of our host where we stayed for the first week and a half. Local kids, lots of fruit (banana, palamalo, pineapple, papaya), vinilla bean vines, rubber tree starts, and their open well where we get our water from. I ran into a spider hanging from the tree and had to take the challenge of taking a picture of a hanging object. Grape juice was made for the church by reconstituting resins and squeezing our the juice. Last is a perspective Gina pointed out looking out one of the windows with rain falling.

Like all of the pictures in this blog I do reserve copyrights. Feel free to click on the photo to see enlargements. Please write to me in a comment requesting permission to use any of the photos for any reason. If you know me just write an e-mail for permission.
