[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
3800m ASL, few yards ahead of the first safety pin - which was shown in my previous shot, and I was trembling again. But it was not just because of my fear of height albeit the trail was getting steeper. I was stunned to see the view laid in front of me. The building with yellowish roofing is Laban Rata, the base camp.

I fought hard to stay focus with my composition. I told myself that I would never make a good photo if I were too busy shaking and trembling. I concentrate on my shutter speed, knowing that my hands are greatly shaking (possibly my whole body – I can’t remember :D). After managing few shots, I felt easier and began to enjoy the climb, and photography.

Hope you enjoy the view.

Happy Shooting,
Ramdan.

Assalamualaikum Ndan,

a great pov from where one can see not only the Laban Rata base camp but also the tip of the 'cliff'(?).

the clouds are the testimony of the altitude at where you were.

Assalamalaikum Ramdan, Great pleasure looking at this image. The green mountain peninsula reaching out as a hanging cliff is really awesome. The clouds and human above it is breathtaking. The camera in very good focus and the aperture was well closed giving out stunning depth in the frame. Thanks for sharing and wasallam. Jusni

hi Ramdan

Courageous work, and what you captured is worth it. Such a nice view looking down, especially the stepping rings.

tfs, bill

Hi Ramdan,

You've done a good job at keeping your nerves in check and capturing a good photo while concentrating on your climb and your safety I presume. It's nice that this climber was still able to look at the camera and smile. It makes me think that maybe this climb is easier than it looks but I know it's not.. haha.. Great view of the valley overlooking Laban Rata.

TFS.

Marvelous story Ramdan! Love the view here! I can feel the fear here, I've been there, shaking like a leaf, one wrong move and that's it! Really a superb posting!

Hi Ramdan
Spectacular and splendid climate, it really shows the mountains to its best, the fog adding to the mood.
I can definitely understand your fear and bravo for going on as you are showing us the difficulty of mountain climbing.
