Just back from 4 days atop Huangshan Mountain in Anhui province, China. Pity the snow didn\'t arrive until the day I left ! It was quite cold though at -10C to -14C whilst waiting for the dawn. Currently (at 1,865m, over 6,000ft) it\'s down to -20C and -36C with wind chill taken into account .... so maybe it was good I missed the snowfall !
Most work was done with bracketing the Tamron 15-30 on a D800E, mounted on a tripod of course, however the A7r was always in my pocket awaiting it\'s chance to shine. Note that Huangshan is famous for it\'s occasional \'Sea of Clouds\' and is the mountain seen in so many traditional Chinese paintings. I was lucky in that I saw the \'Sea of Clouds\' twice (in different locations) during my 4 sunsets and 4 sunrises. Missed the snow-covered monkeys though
So, first out of the cooker, at sunrise (A7r + 55/1.8), for a sense of scale the famous Huangshan Pines are between 10m and 30m high :
