Hi VF how high are you on those latest shots. DO you need oxygen up there?

Hey Double Bogey....about 22,000'+ :eek: Legal requirement is for the Flight Crew to use O2 above 10,000' :ooh: Need it??? depends on acclimatization & individuals ability to handle 60+% less O2 than sea level :hmm:

SO glad you're posting again on here. These are just amazing photos and the best thread on here!

I'm sure you've answered this before, but I can't trawl back through the posts to find it! What camera are you using? As a keen photographer myself, are you using a polariser? The clarity is just brilliant!

Thanks for posting them, fab!

VF,

These photos are truly brilliant and exhilarating ! Thank you for sharing them. I'm thinking of visiting so I can see some for real.

Cheers,

NEO
