Hi eAgles, Thanks for visiting. Yes the air up in Lhasa is rather thin because of the altitue (3500m). It took me about 4 days to somewhat acclimatise. Initially, a simple action like going up a short flight of stairs to reach my hostel room, left me very much breathless.

Hi limwt2006. Most, if not all, of the pics here are taken with my Nikon D50 and the 18-70mm f3.5-4.5 D70s kit lens. :thumbsup:

Hi tang90246. Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment.

I did a 16 day trip under 2k as i stayed at budget hotels, ate street food or at local eateries (avoided restaurants) and shared vechicular costs with 3 other persons.
To give you an idea of cost there, a char siew pau costs like 10-20cents Sing. Dirt cheap, but damn nice.

#6 very nice

 

[zoossh]

#1 & #10 appear over sharpened, or the color contrast is too sharp.

#7 & #14 are the best. #7 for the long shadows/composition/colors. #14 - i love the scale absolutely.....

Very nice series. On a technical note, some pictures are oversharpened for my liking though.
