Dawn breaks on Himalayan peaks. Shot while ascending Kalapathar from Gorak Shep during Everest Base Camp Trek in May 2008. Mount Everest is not in this picture, it is slightly off to the left.
Canon EOS 400D with Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 lens, 1/100s at f/1.8, ISO 100. This lens is Canon's cheapest, but from an image quality perspective a really good one, not to mention extremely fast at f/1.8. On a 1.6X FOV crop sensor like the one on 400D, the 50mm standard becomes a great 80mm portrait lens.
