Bhutan, Mar 2005
Visit to Samtse, Paro, & Thimpu, in Bhutan March 2005.
Bhutan - the land of the thunder dragon is also a land from a different time. Steeped in tradition and culture the only way to truly appreciate it is by visiting it. "The land of the Thunder Dragon" - Druk Yul, as its called in Tibetian is indeed, the Last Shangrila protected by the mighty Himalayas from the rest of the world. Bhutan is only country where the Monarch rule is still in existence and the Kingdom is blissfully untouched. Hidden in the Eastern Himalayas between India and Tibet and as big as Switzerland, but sparsely populated, Bhutan is as pristine as it gets.

on April 19, 2009Thank you for the wonderful tour. It's nice to come here are see fotos from such an exotic place that I'll probably never get to.

on April 19, 2009Sure! This was shot in 2005. I was using the D70 (now using the D300). For the festival I used the 80-400 mm lens (close ups) and for wide I used the 18-70 mm Nikkor lens. Often had to use CPL for the light. Still the light was the greatest challenge. The dancers often moved from very bright light to shaded areas. Also the action was fast.
I have a blog which I have posted (link given in my mail) about my thoughts and feelings on the trip. You may like to read that.
