That was taken with a semi-decent camera, a Canon 600D, it would had been better (less noise, higher resolution) with the other camera we took, a Canon 70D but at the time I took the photo my GF was using it (she got a really cool shot of an airplane seemingly flying between the twin peaks of the mountain). I still had to carry both of them most of the time… and five more lenses … and a tripod… and batteries and charges… and other accessories, plus the normal trekking stuff. A guy coming down the mountain pointed out I looked a bit overburdened, I said that every art requires a sacrifice.
That was the second time we trekked that area, we were there in 2014 shortly before the big earthquake that hit Nepal on that year, but the first time around the weather wasn’t good, constant fog and cloud cover, we hardly saw any of the landscape. This time we got lucky and the weather was very clear the nine days we spent trekking.
My recent supermoon shots don’t look significantly different than anyone else’s (shot with 5D4, 70-300 lens), but it was the first time in over 30 years of photography where I actually took photos of the moon as a subject. MAN did I way over-estimate the shutter speed and tripod needs. I kept getting washed-out images and wasn’t initially sure of the problem; by the end I was shooting hand-held at 1/800.
