Mt,Everest & Icefall Photographer Naoki Shiratori Camera used Caplio 500Gwide
Photographer's comments
This photo is taken from Kala Patthar, a 5,450 meter peak in the Himalayas. The form of Everest would not fit in the frame even shooting at wide-angle. Perhaps I should have shot vertical and made a panorama. There was glacial sludge or a scree slope spread out before me and there was a pond close at hand. I felt danger behind the beauty.
Reason for selection
The warning signs of global warming can even be seen on Mt. Everest. I'm very impressed that the photographer journeyed all the way to Mt. Everest. I would think that a compact digital camera would be perfect for mountain climbing. Since it is a Ricoh digital camera which is good at macro shooting, it would also be perfect if there was an insect or plant at the front. I wonder if there are any insects at 5,450 m.
