After this shot another time lapse session started and this time i covered Ultar side with very significant movement of clouds. I tried to make a star trail but there are too much clouds so it will only look good in the time lapse video.

Stay tuned for the video

For the time being enjoy the views of Hunza Valley in full moon

I just learned something new from this pic, your caption and Google

This was last shot from Day 1 of this tour

Now i have around 100 shots for the time lapse video which i will share later once whole set is complete for full tour.

We went down to the hotel and i took a room in higher building facing Hunza Valley. It was awesome place to stay. I took a shower after dinner and charged all the batteries i was carrying and fixed the luggage as well.

Plan for the morning was to get up at sunrise and resume Duikar Shoot But woke up quite late around 6:15 a.m. and missed the sunrise

Night stay at Eagle's Nest Hotel, Duikar - Hunza Valley

This one is stunning, spell bounding & Marvelous shot

deadman78 (deadman78) 2013-09-23 03:53:20 +0500 #257

I can believe because this shot is taken by none other then Mobeen Jigar the PRINCE of Mountains

This scene literally took a breath out of me just AMAZING Beauty that Pakistan possesses.

I think Mobeen that night Rakaposhi was a bit shy of your DSLR that's why doesn't shows up for the shoot as he knows that he can be found naked in front of Millions taken by you

aesiege (aesiege) 2013-09-23 14:54:17 +0500 #260

Good to know that

Thx a lot Mansoor bro for the appreciation
