That's my niece Paragliding - Phewa Lake on the backdrop. There is lot of sky between where I am standing and the lake (at least 3-4K) hence the blue tint on top half of the pic. Not an over-saturated image in anyway - a right filter would have reduced it some and made it bit crisp I am sure.

River cascading down the mountains - what caught my attention was the fresh green moss clinging to the rock with white water rushing down next it.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, Modi Khola En Route to ABC, Nepal, 2011
Not the cleanest of shot that I usually would like to take none-the-less brings back memories vividly.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, En Route to ABC, Nepal, 2011
I thought I would frame this not sure how it would turn out. Natural green in you frame is always good.
Sony Aplha 900, Carl Zeiss 135 f 1.8, AWB, Tonle Sap, Siem Reap, Cambodia, 2012
The goal was to capture the mood of sleepy fishing village in calm and quiet evening. Do you get that sense?
iPhone, En Route to ABC, Nepal, 2011
Someday someone will do photo exhibit somewhere with shots just from iPhone. The quality is better than some full fledged point and shoot camera.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, Mt. Dhaulagiri, Nepal, 2011
I wish had a polarizer. This shot is ok but the view was divine. That's when I wished I had abetter equipment.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, En Route to ABC, Nepal, 2011
Yes a filter could have done wonders - but I am still happy with this shot - for some what may look like a over exposed photo - but this is exactly how the mountains appeared in the morning with little bit of fog blanketing the view- almost like water color canvas.

White balance and filter lacking but still was happy with this shot - the square corner rock profiles on mountain face were unreal.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, Mt. Machhapuchhre, Nepal, 2011
When the view is this good - even a point and shoot would be a winner.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, 2008
What caught my attention were these trees. Would have had to wait bit longer to let her be out of the frame - oh well - adds to the mood.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, Rama XI Park, BKK, 2010
What caught my attention was the round bushes.

Lot of people take these type of shots. Nothing unique here - I was trying to see how it would turn out.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, Maya Bay, Koh Phi Phi, Gulf of Thailand, 2010
Few places in the world are as magical as this. A wide angle lens would make this shot fantastic.
Sony Mavis with Carl Zeiss Lens, Full Auto, Chao Phraya River, BKK, 2009
Quality of this shot is terrible I know. But what I like is the depth of field on this photo. I will go back there again and frame this exact shot with my full frame with wide angle lens.

A much too predictable photo spot for tourists. I guess I was no different. But you wont see me in it with a "V" sign and a grin.

Late summer in Minnesota - This is shallow St. Croix river - water is very still - I have canoed here at times.

The pic came out almost magical even with some blur and tilt.

These three rocks sat in the middle of the ocean. We snorkleded around it.

The evening sun does wonders to the reflection and color and the mood comes for free with it.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, Rose Garden, South of BKK 2011
One of those spots that just makes you stop and reach for the camera. But there is lot of clutter here than I would hive liked. Plus still need to learn to reduce over exposing the sky.

Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, Looking North of Kakani, Nepal, 2010
The pic quality is not that great I know. It was overcast and foggy day. There's nothing you can do about that. But what caught my attention was layers of clouds and then layers of mountain.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, M,odi Khole En Route to ABC Nepal, 2011
The scenery unfolded in front of me as I was climbing down to this river gorge in ABC trail. When the frame lends itself like this - any point and shoot would do it too.

Another one of those picture taken in fog. Taking stairs are easy. But I still don't fee like I have quite pulled it off here as far as the mood goes.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, Koh Samed, Gulf of Thailand, 2008
The goal was to capture color here. Instead of AWB I should have used Overcast (cloudy) setting to bring whit balance little better. But I thought framing was good. The people (which there are many) in this shot do not seem to distract the outcome.
iPhone, Still Following Modi Khola en route to ABC, 2011
Yup another iPhone shot. How far the phones have come along - and even the laziest of people would be inclined to take chances like these.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, At at rest stop in Ulleri en route to ABC, 2011
I know this photo is little on a cuter side - looks bit staged. But that is what I saw and this is what you have. Only thing it short of fails to capture was how vivid and bright that mountain hiding behind the cloud looked at the moment.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, Mountain Stream en route to ABC, 2011
Just one of those shots - My focus were these helpless and wet rocks. I could have tripoded and exposed longer for smoother water profile but I didn't have time.
Rocoh SLR, Sigms 35 mm lens, ISO 100, Bear Trap Ranch, Colorado Springs, CO, 1993
A print photo from ages ago. Shot taken simply for the pointy peak that decided to be tipsy a little.
Canon Rebel EX EOS, 18-55mm, Full Auto, AWB, Near Krabi, Gulf of Thailand, 2011
Framing - that is too predictable. Why I list it here - do you see 30 or so swimmers that were there?? Neither do I.
