Some pictures from a few years on the road in Asia

<p>Been traveling in Asia for close to three years now. Most the last 2 years on the Indian subcontinent and quite a bit of hiking in the Himalayas. Doing a lot of photography along the way. Anyway getting together a web site and I thought some people in this audience might be interested.<br>

hope you enjoy and let me know what you think or if you have any questions about travel in the area I've covered India pretty well as well as a number of other countries.</p>

<p>Micah! Utterly beautiful! I am speachless. Beautiful images. Thank you so much for offering this to us!</p>

<p>Lovely. Makes me want to travel again...</p>

<p>Wonderful Micah, truly wonderful. I'm still going through all the PDF's on the site as well, hoping to learn for my adventures.<br>

You visited so many very remote places, I have to ask: How did you handle things like recharging camera batteries, image backup, etc?<br>

Thanks,<br>

Thanks for the compliments.

 

on battery charging most places with roads have electricity these days and even many without. While trekking though I usually relied on spare batteries which is the cheapest option I've got 3 spare batteries for my 20d (no upgraded to 50d) That usually could last me more than a month of trekking.

 

On image storage and back up. I travel with a laptop and earlier I had a PD70x (got stolen now) now I just have a couple small usb hard drives, I've got 48 GB worth of CF cards which can last me through a trek. I've never ran out of memory even on a month long trek, and I only shoot raw. I also burn DVD and mail them back to the states and have them loaded on a desktop there. I generally carry my backup usb hard drive with my camera gear and leave my laptop in my room (or at a guesthouse when I go trekking)

<p>Excellent collection. Any upcoming travels?</p>

thanks, upcoming or should I say ongoing-

 

in Nepal right now maybe Sri Lanka this winter, and Indonesia in the summer, with stints in India in between.

<p>Absolutely beautiful imagery. Thanks for sharing your lovely work. Additionally, your galleries should be a primer for photographers who think that you MUST HAVE full frame equipment and the very latest camera in order to produce great work!</p>

<p>Thanks, not that I don't want a full frame, but when it comes down to 6 more months on the road vs a full frame I choose the road. I always tell people to invest in good lenses before worrying about the body.</p>

<p>Thanks for sharing your travel experience to asia....<br>

What do you think to travel in nepal....<br>

<em>Nepal is a great place for photography; we were struck by the many diverse opportunities that came our way for interesting travel photography. Stunning landscapes, ancient temples, festivals, dances, wildlife and friendly people presented themselves repeatedly along the way.</em><br>

<em>The partial cloud cover during late September served to soften the harsh midday light and extend the opportunities for outdoor photography. This is very important while touring as so often one is unable to return to a location when lighting conditions are optimal.</em><br>
