As i had written a while earlier, i got a chance to visit Nepal during Thanksgiving.

Below are the first shots of the trip... and the very first second i set my eyes on the range.

She is a real beauty... Unbelievable to say the least...

Was thinking of doing a panorama as well for the entire range...

This is incidentally the first time am doing any mountain photography..

Hope you guys like it!

Impressive! I think they would make a great panorama... Nice job! Did you do much/any post processing?? The sky seems a little "green" to me. Not sure if that was what the eye saw of if you may need an adjustment in white balance/tint.

I would say try a panorama, be nice to see!

Beautiful shots. Really like the first one in particular.

Have you tried hdr? I think altitude shots lend themselves really well to this treatment.
Probably a bit late for a multi-exposure shot, but perhaps a single shot hdr is possible?

Absolutely lovely. Would love to see a panorama as well.

Like Pat I find the white balance to be a bit "off" on some of these. Too warm in some, and possibly over-tinted towards green in others.

Thanks guys :)

@Patrick & @Jake-
i did crack my head trying to reach a 'decent' white balance in LR.
Minute changes like one roll to the right or left was changing the entire picture drastically.
Will try again in the next pics.

@Dave T -
I do have tons of multi-exposures for HDR, haven't had the time yet.
WIll definitely process a few & post them :)

@Rick M
Will try for a pano rick.. for sure

These were literally the very first shots of the mountains..
I did get a lot closer too.. and a few on a tripod.. will post them soon
