30 min wasted as i sat and watched these two trying to hack this free donkey while wasting one of my ropes

This is Barpu Giram camp site and u can see the camping place markers. However, water is not available here. So, if u r planning to camp here then make sure u got ample supplies of water to spend the night.

The poor animal could only cross this green patch and the ropes got disturbed quite a few times. These guys tried to fix the ropes and another 30 min were wasted here. Atlast, i lost my patience and told them to release the donkey and carry the bags again.

Same experience here earlier ..... whenever i tried to get closer butterflies used to fly away.

But this bunch was indifferent to my presence and kept on hovering from one flower to another in a small place so i got ample opportunity to take steady shots

Thx a lot Asad bro

Warning .... it is a very expensive hobby
And once u get into it, then there is only kharchaaa and no way back

Best starters are either Nikon D5100 / D5200 or Canon 600D / 650D / 700D. These 3 canons are almost same in pic quality so can pick any of these.

Price range will be around 65-80K.

For internet sharing, these both brands are great tools for image quality and u can buy the one u feel good holding and using .... so go to market, check these out and choose the one which suits your grip and menu taste.
Thx a lot bro

How about D3200?

Just checked it's comparison with D5200 and the only major difference i could notice was no. of focus points. D5200 has got 39. Whereas, D3200 has 11. However, the price is almost half

What do you reckon?

What do you reckon?

Too much megapixel packed in same size of sensor and result is worse low light/ high ISO performance. So, i would suggest to take higher series as a start like 5100.

We are at Barpu Giram now and stage 3 is a long straight walk till Barichokor campsite.

[aesiege]

Just after Barpu Giram, we stopped again and waited for second porter and donkey for almost half hour. This made it one complete hour wasted while doing nothing.

Finally, resumed the journey and now on our way to Barichokor
