Saltos

New Pictures!

With my last post I finished uploading all the pictures I had from before my trip. Unfortunately it also means that I wont be uploading as frequently as before. The weather here is pretty bad. A lot of wind, snow and worst of all, ice. The trails are very slippery and you have to watch were you step all the time.

But! Aside from the ice and the freezing cold, everything is covered in snow and the landscape has transformed completely, so there are a lot of places to shoot!

The first picture is from a very cold morning, on the same spot I tried the last time. This time the sunrise was much better, and the clouds didn't cover the mountains completely. Even so, the color was pretty flat, so I decided to try a new editing technique.

This pictures is a combination of two shots, one for the river and another for the mountains. They were developed in Silver Efex PRO, blended in Photoshop, and later edited as a single image to get the final result.

The rest were made on the way back. It was the first time I got both a Cachaña and a Picolezna Patagonica, so I was very lucky. And no, the head on the Picolezna is not that big, it looks like that because of the feathers.

In a few days I should finish sorting a editing the last images I took, so it shouldn't be to long until my next update.

See you around!
