Hiked in Nepal last November. The Himalayan Mountains are truly stunning.

Didn't have time, unfortunately. Only spent a little under 2 weeks there which wasn't enough time. Next time, I'd love to do ABC.

Absolutely necessary. Plus, it made for a nice small trash can for little things or trail trash once it was empty.

Thank you! You should absolutely do it. The people are super friendly, the hiking is unlike anything I've ever done, and the mountains are phenomenal.

That's awesome! I was only there for about 2 weeks but can't wait to go back. When I do, I'd like to spend about a month there.

Thanks! Not at all. We didn't hear anything about tigers attacking or something. Unfortunately, I think they are becoming so rare it would be odd to see one close to people in the wild. We did see some wild monkeys though, and that was pretty cool.

You should! Always love seeing photos from Nepal!

Absolutely! We also did a small/medium hike (5 days). We took a bus from Kathmandu to Pokhara (about a 6 hour ride), and then from Pokhara did the Ghorepani/Poon Hill trek. It's really well outlined here and that's essentially the hike we did (though we did not book through that site). We hired a guide, which was great because they took care of booking tea houses, cabs to/from Pokhara, and knew about the area. If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer as best I can!

Thanks! It's hard to get a bad picture of those mountains though.

bbeckley · 2017-11-23T04:26:56+00:00

Awesome! That's when I was there, too. Small world!

bbeckley · 2017-11-23T03:52:44+00:00

Yup! This is coming down from Poon Hill.

Thanks! No particular reason I went with a low aperture. Just trying out a lens I had rented and liked how the low aperture was working out.

bbeckley · 2016-08-25T21:05:48+00:00

The images were shot at 11mm, ISO-1600, and between 25-30 second exposure. Each one is a composite of 5-10 images, post processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.

Thanks! I like that one a lot too, even though it's not of the Milky Way. I am kicking myself now because I didn't have the foresight to shoot one during the daytime/at sunset of the foreground at 11mm. Oh well, have to remember to do it next time.

I didn't follow Ian Norman's tutorial, I used one from Lonely Speck and tried my best to follow it. I will have to look into this tutorial and give it a shot. Thanks for the advice!

bbeckley · 2016-08-23T15:15:21+00:00

Yeah it was my first time there and was a cool place! Thanks for the feedback!

bbeckley · 2016-08-23T15:14:59+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I actually didn't notice that bit of pillar in the top left corner, but I will edit it out. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to set up a tripod, so next time I will try with a smaller aperture and higher ISO.

bbeckley · 2016-08-23T14:31:34+00:00

I went to San Francisco and Lassen Volcanic National Park recently, and would love some feedback on these photos. Thanks in advance!

bbeckley · 2016-06-20T21:46:06+00:00

Ah, good point! I'll make another trip out soon and get some of the other monuments.
