W/NW - Pic-o'-the Week 31

<p>Hi all, its Friday again. Time display our talents once again and bedazzle the photographic world. Don't be shy. I'll start this week's mayhem by posting a photo I took at Long Beach, CA a couple of weeks ago. I used the brilliant GX7 and CV Nokton 50. They made a nice combo: <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17814409-lg.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Something a bit unusual for me this week. My friend, designer Harry Umen, teamed up with MIT scientist, Angela Chang, to create a high tech dress for the Fashiondescience competition (http://www.fashiondescience.com/#!collaboration/cz4u). Since the dress had to be photographed against white and it was composed of an array of LED lights, Harry asked me design the lighting for the shoot. i also stepped in and made some of the pics as well. This one is my favorite.</p><div></div>

<p>Ian, you have had some interesting experiences in Tibet. Photos are great. First time? How do you do with the altitude? </p>

Apologies, I'm technically challenged.

2nd try:

This is a repost from June 2014 pow thread. Best I can do for now :-(<div></div>

I posted a thread last night on this forum announcing the publication of my first book, "SEEING." I discovered this morning that a

moderator moved it. The announcement was meant for my friends and colleagues who frequent this thread every week with me.

 

I have asked them to return it to the place I intended, but in case they won't, if you are interested, please go to

<p>Thanks Barry. Yep first time, we were in the far west part of Sichuan where it's 80% Tibetan. Altitude was OK after a few days. Never made it much over 5000 meters. </p>

<p>Thanks Ian. I start getting headaches after about 9500' even after a couple of days, but then again I smoked for over 40 years :( </p>

<p>Fuji X-E2 (has an EVF, i.e. electronic viewfinder) with a Fuji M-mount adapter and a LTM/LSM, RF-coupled, coated Nikkor-S.C 85/1.5 @ ISO 400 and f/1.5...</p>

<p>(My thoughts and opinions of the Fuji X-X2 could belong in the "Mirrorless Digital Cameras" forum but I first thought of the "Leica and Rangefinder" forum as the photos were captured with LTM/LSM-compatible 'glass.')</p><div></div>

<p>Ian . : 'Back from Tibet' is wonderful! Extremely atmospheric, no interaction with the photographer, great use of depth of field. I love it.</p>
