At that point of time all I felt was downright fatigue, nausea and a pounding headache that could not go away. But when I did Kinnabalu my body never exhibited any of those signs. Go figure.

Can't be that bad I'm sure! :P I didn't know K-M cams can produce such nice photos! Must be your expertise! Haha! ;) The reason why I'm so interested is because I'm thinking of getting a digital camera myself soon. This might sound ridiculous to you, but I don't own one! And wow, digital SLR? Isn't that thousands of dollars?! Maybe instead of trekker you can take over as photographer on all your trekking trips! You can't do both at once. ;) I've been on guided hikes and adventures before and the leader can never pause to take photos. Often there is a guy who's a photographer too who tags along and takes snaps. And we sometimes have to pose for him. Haha. :D Then later somehow the photos arrive in the mail! That's the way it used to work when I was still into this kind of stuff. :) Cool! 1 in 100? Can’t be that bad I’m sure! :P I didn’t know K-M cams can produce such nice photos! Must be your expertise!

Like 1-in-100 kind you know... haha! I'm using a Konica Minolta Z2! Oh, I can't wait to take the Mount Kinabalu photos too! However, my camera is breaking down due to the way I treat it - bringing it to treks and everything. There has been a couple of occasions where I almost dipped it into the river while trekking. :P Still learning how to take good photos... and still saving for my digital SLR. Heh.

Because they are quite well-taken. Very beautiful! What cam do you use? Can't wait to see your Mt K photos! :) Do you take all these photos yourself? Because they are quite well-taken.
