Image My first sight of Everest - from 40km away

This holds special memories as it was not only a remarkable experience but was also my introduction to photography. Amateur Photographer commissioned an idea I submitted to write an article about a photographic novice - me at the time - learning to use a great camera in a spectacular location. I'd just signed up for a charity trek to Everest Base Camp and was thinking of ways to raise money. Canon provided a camera for me to work with. I got hooked, and the rest, as they say, is history.
