Jeff Pang is a computer scientist who describes himself as a hiker/backpacker/mountaineer first and a photographer second. His interest in photography grew out of his love for the great outdoors, and most of his photos are nature and landscape shots, many of which are really incredible. He packs a Canon Digital Rebel XSi and a Tamron 18-250 mm lens on his hiking expeditions and we’ve included a few photos from his explorations in the gallery above. Here’s his Flickr page and personal website.
