Bayanbulak morning presents a different beauty. Serene, tranquil, somewhat cold, but it was the kind of cold before warmth. I took 2 Nikon with me, a D3X with 24-70 zoom and a D3 with 70-200 zoom, walked on the frost covered grassland, composing the scenery surrounded me. And by the way, a compact Canon G10 in my pocket.
This image, taken with Nikon D3X + AF-S 24-70/2.8G ED. Quiet early morning allows the water in this small pond a total stillness.
Thin ice on the water, although this is in early summer, Bayanbulak can still get quite cold during the night. I snap this image using the Canon G10 inside my pocket, although a small camera, it is capable of capturing nice detail image. As I have repeat perhaps too many times, keep a pocket camera such as Canon G10 in your pocket when traveling, or whenever you go, is not a bad idea. My Canon G10 has proved its value over and over, at least it is to me. I have absolutely no problem shooting with it side by side with larger DSLR or even medium format digital cameras. And speaking of pocket size, without question, the Sigma Dp-1 that I also bring along, or the DP-2 I bought after this trip, is even a better option.A buffalo crossing the pond.

With the temperature getting warmer, the clear and bright view in front of us is a majestically display of high mountain ranges, Xinjiang, such beautiful, and in such grand scale, also shot with Nikon D3X and 70-200/2.8 zoom.
