Moonshine on Ama Dablam

22 November 2010

Recently, I published an image that became popular.  While perusing the photos from that night in the Himalaya in Nepal, a similar but better image popped up.  The moon shining off the mountain grabbed and held my eye, and I thought some people might like to share this moment.

Moonshine on Ama Dablam” can be downloaded for a single personal use.

Please remember to invest in a copy of my new photo book.  I say “invest” because the print run will be limited and many of these photos have never been published, and likely never will be published again.  Please click “Inside the Inferno” to order an autographed copy today.

My Facebook page stays plenty busy.

As a professional photographer I find this image simply stunning. I love the deep blacks of the foreground and the texture to the mountains. The night sky and the long exposure add a surreal nature. I cannot wait to see the images in the book.

Is there anything you do not excel at? That is a stunning picture. There's a surreal quality about it that I love.

Mike, you mentioned the tragedy of the helicopter crash on the mountain (Ama Dablam) on your previous photo dispatch. The pilot of the chopper who was on the rescue mission on Mt. Ama Dablam was a very dear friend of mine With your permission would like to print your photos of the mountain that you have uploaded and give it to his young wife and child as a token of remembrance to a man who did over a 1000 rescues of people stranded in different parts of the Himalayas. Thanks for the picture Mike - they are of exceptional quality and thank you also for allowing us the downloads as most professional photographers would never do that. I have made a short slideshow of the pilot (Sabin Basnyat) who died in the rescue attempt and would be grateful if you could share it with your readership around the world so that they know of an unsung Hero.

AMEX isn't nearly as seller-friendly as V/MC in terms of fees. Simply costs too much for many.

It's hard to say whether you're a better writer or photographer, you're truly one of the best at both. Just pre-ordered your new book, thanks for sharing this photo!
