Looks like I'm having one of those one-chance-in-a-lifetime trips, so I'm soliciting advise about both photography, the wheres and the hows.
I'll be visiting a friend in Singapore who's also an amateur photographer, and he invited me along to a trip to Tibet.
Now we're wondering about what's smart and not so smart, and also about the weather in different locations in Tibet.
One destination is set, and that is the
Ringha Tibetan Village, opening this October.
We'll have approximately one week at our disposal, but where to go and which part of mid-October to early November would be better for the weather? (I'm inclined to think that the weather could be significant ...)
I've seen the average temperatures for Tibet in October and November, and they seem similar to November and December in my part of Norway, so it's not particularly scary. But averages are averages, and the plateau is roughly 3000m above sea level.
Equipment-wise, I'm of course bringing along my 20D, a couple of lenses, my Kata rain cover and a light tripod, if I can lay my hands on that in time. Luckily, my friend is also a Canonite, so I might not have to bring all that much.
