Something a little different here, shot from a high pass in the Himalayan mountains of Bhutan during a brief pause to change a flat tyre and admire the view… I think in the opposite order though, the tyre went flat after we stopped to admire the view. Still, it gave us more time to watch the changing light and the clouds floating past below, bumping into the trees and high ridges.

I used a 200mm tele to really isolate this small scene from the mountainous background. The light was streaming down the valley and the cloud was strongly side lit giving it this magical luminous quality. The mountains behind the cloud are just visible as the slanting diagonal lines in the background.
Bhutan Photo Tour 2016 almost full.
I’ve got just 4 places left on this years 15 day Bhutan Photo Tour, leaving October 3rd from Bangkok, we have managed to coincide with three cultural festival this year, something I have never managed before.
The above image was shot with the Nikon D810 and the Nikon 70-200 f4 lens, it’s had a little cropped off the top and bottom, but very little post processing.
