© 2012 Wazari Wazir | Langtang National Park | Nepal The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim Because it was grassy and wanted wear, Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black.

Travel and Photography | Photography Equipment | Have Camera Will Travel
© 2012 Ahmad Shukri | Langtang National Park Nepal | Photograph of Me Taken by Ahmad Shukri People often ask me, what type of camera and lenses I carry when I travel, actually I’ve answer this question more than I can remember, I like to travel light and currently I just have one camera body with me which is Canon 5D Mark II and two sets of prime lens, 24mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.4.
