Our climb to Heavenly Tour Peak continues...

This is a professional Chinese photographer we met along the way. He took an interest in me because I was the only westerner around and because I also had a camera. He took some pictures of me taking pictures. Afterward, we compared equipment. He had a Canon Eos Rebel, as did I. He was using an ultrawide-angle lens, as was I. (His was 17–35 mm, mine 19–35. I was 2 mm jealous!) He was using a lens shield and fill-in flash, but I wasn't. That's the difference between a pro and a well-meaning amateur.
