Approaching RONTI SADDLE II, a photo from Uttarakhand, North

Photographer's Note

We already reached to Ronti Saddle except one of our team members.Its almost 19000 ft and the person sufferes from breathing problem. We tied to boost up much and finally he agreed to start walking. Finally we reached to summit.

Hello Partha,

Anoether great shot from the Ronti Saddle approach..!! What an amazing landscape you have captured and also the composition with the porter in an inclined...showing the difficulty level of this climb..Most of the time photographing a gradient becomes very difficult with unsatifactory results but here the depth is very good and colours are amazing..!!

this one goes into my favorites..!!!

thanks a lot for sharing this great shot.

regards,

Indro

Hello Partha,

You have well described what is the climbing of a very high Pass in Himalaya. the close up on the first climber shows well how it is tiring for him and the wide angle of the shot shows the track he had to follow to be there. This photo tells a story.

Hi Partha,
Certainly one of your best from this series, actually it is difficult choosing the best, this series has brought out so many excellent images. Photography is never easy on the higher reaches of the mountains where one is literally struggling for breath. You had difficult light to contend with but managed it well.
