This shot is magic. You are really lucky to have been there.
By the way, how does the camera behave in such a cold weather ? Did you have to protect it in special ways ?
Thanks MC & Regis. Actually the camera body worked fine and is rugged enough to handle some abuse, problem is the battery, which you have to keep on your body until the moment you actually shoot. And of course take care about the lenses fogging up or catching snow and rocks :-)
By far the greatest from the tent picture I have ever seen.

This is taken from the highest campsite in the world! 8300m or about 27,000ft above sealevel, this is the altitude where many planes fly and other do not even get to, looking down on the weather instead of getting bothered by it :-)We had planned to go for the summit the nigh before, but when waking up at midnight the storm was so incredible
Waiting an extra 24 hours in the death zone I would not wish for anyone. But maybe it was worth it for this shot? Beautiful!
