Tso Moriri, on the Changthang Plateau in south-eastern Ladakh, at 15,075 feet (4,595 m). Composed as a 1:3 panorama, which is what the place asks for: the land runs flat and open to a horizon far enough away that a conventional frame would misrepresent it.
The image sorts itself into four bands — dark water, the tawny sweep of the hills, snow-topped Trans-Himalayan peaks, and a sky with more cloud than Ladakh usually offers. Those golden slopes are grazing land. The Changthang is high-altitude steppe, home to Changpa herders who move pashmina goats and yaks across it. The next day, a few miles from the lake at Karzok, I came across black-necked cranes — a species that breeds on these wetlands in summer and crosses the Himalaya to winter in India. The plateau looks empty. It is not.
Gallery Metal — The next generation of the metal print: printed with Canon LUCIA PRO pigment inks and bonded to a rigid aluminium panel beneath a protective laminate, resolving finer detail and holding colour longer than dye-sublimation can. The modern process for images that reward close viewing. Here that holds the fine detail in the distant hills and the snow line across the full width of the panel. Glossy adds a hard coat for scratch resistance along with the fuller colour and depth; matte is anti-glare and holds sharp detail without softening it. Both are UV-protected for long-term display.
