When Scale Is Impossible To Tell
Mountain and glacier, Palanderbukta, SvalbardPhase One XF 150MP, 240mm LS Schneider Krueznach, f4.5 @ 1/1250 second, ISO 100, exposure averaging for 30 seconds. It’s hard to know exactly how big this landscape really is. Some photographers suggest including an object of known size to give a sense of scale; others like the fact that you just can’t tell, enjoying the ambiguity. Years ago in Antarctica, where the air is incredibly clear, I remember looking at a ship on the other side of the bay. It...
Fresh Snow In Ansel Adams’ Yosemite National Park
Forest Detail, Yosemite National Park, CaliforniaPhase One XF, IQ3 100MP Trichromatic, 240mm Schneider Kreuznach, f4 @ 1/1600 second, ISO 400 Sometimes you need to be careful what you wish for. Over the decades of visiting Yosemite National Park in Western USA, I’ve always wondered what it would be like in fresh snow. When you’re in the park itself, the gift shops are full of postcards (well, they used to be full of postcards, but I guess we don’t send them that much anymore), many with...
Don't Forget To Have Fun
No photography details for the photo above - it was taken with my iPhone 15 using a medium zoom setting. And one of the most popular subjects posted on social media are photographs of food. Should we all be paying more attention to this popular genre of photography? The subject is a roast vegetable pie (I'm vegetarian), purchased from The Upper Crust pie shop at Long Reef in Sydney. The pie shop is directly opposite my studio/office and an ongoing temptation. As you can clearly see, the pie...

Description
Over a period of ten years, Peter Eastway has spent several months travelling through and photographing the remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan – the Land of the Thunder Dragon. While a vibrant and modern economy in many ways, arrival in Bhutan is like stepping back in time with many people still wearing traditional dress, their culture infused with Tibetan Buddhism. Giant fortified dzongs cling to cliffs, scarlet-robed monks chant deep within the temples while outside, the faithful turn ornate prayer wheels. Bhutan is a land like no other.
This book depicts the many rituals that punctuate the Bhutanese calendar, from major community festivals to private ceremonies in village homes. Rich in colour and content, Peter investigates and interprets the soul of Bhutanese beliefs.
Ritual – Bhutan is one of three in a series. The other two books are Myth – Bhutan and Life – Bhutan.
