That is a jaw dropping image, Ran. The mountains are so domineering. Wouldn't it be nice to wake up to such a view every morning?
I have a question tho. Did the mountains in the background appear much taller in person than we see here in the photograph? I find that through the lens, a tall mountain can lose a lot of it's true height. I would love to own a Tilt Shift lens for images like this. Anyway, very nicely composed.

Thanks Randy for your comment. Indeed mountains tend to shrink in photos. This eastern Himalayan mountain is 5,596 meters (18,359 feet)high, and the shot was taken from a relatively low altitude area. I will upload several additional shots of this amazing mountain in the next few days, so stay in touch :-)

What's a tilt shift lens? Is it common to use those to take shots of mountains?

Here's a clip of a conversation about a Canon 24mm TS lens.

These lenses correct parallel lines that curve inward or outward as you point a camera up or down. Like when you point a wide angle lens downward and trees lean heavily inward.
Neer having owened one, I have no idea of their limitations. These lenses will make a 35mm camera behave a bit more like a large format field camera with it's up and down motions that are able to correct perspective problems. Not cheap stuff, but they have a purpose.

This might be the proper link that I tried to use in my last comment.
