My First Morning In Himalayas

Flower Just Awakening

It was my first morning in the foothills of the mighty Himalayas. I woke up early that day to get some shots of the shining orange peaks of the Himalayas. But before I could step out of my guest house these amazing red colored flowers caught my eye. I immediately got down on the frosted grass and opened my macro lens to say hello to the flower.

The result is what you are looking at. I liked the hairy stem of the plant. To capture it well I got on the other side of the sun to get a correct exposure. I then composed the shot with my Canon EOS 400D and pushed the shutter. It was more than a picture taking experience. Hope you all will like the picture and thanks for this great website. This is my first post here. I enjoyed the site very much.

Warm Regards

The Himalayas, home of the snow, is the most impressive system of mountains on the earth, and for centuries the setting for epic feats of exploration and mountain climbing / treks.

It's a pity the flower wasn't open
by: Mark McKnight

You got a really good shot of the stem of the flower. The hairs are really clear and the colours are good. Did you use a tripod? How do you find the Canon 400d. I use this camera as well and I have written a review about it. Canon 400d Review

Is there anything that you would like to add in the comments about the camera? Is there anything that you like or dislike about it?
