Torres del Paine, Patagonia, Chile

[Nihat Iyriboz]

A trip from Buenos Aires to Tierra del Fuego, Ushuaia back to Megellan Straits and Puerto Natales and Torres del Paine National Park in September, still winter in Southern Hemisphere.

Now that is monumental Nihat and very atmospheric. Sounds a good trip. What was it taken on?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Superb!

 

[Paul Lange]

Again another great image Nihat. I was almost expecting some poetry to go with it.

Thank you very much, Pete.
It was an exciting trip to some beautiful landscape in August-September, 2006.
I travelled light with Mamiya 7 with 43, 65, 80 lenses and Kodak Retina. I had Ilford PanF+ 50 for Mamiya and Kodachrome for Retina. This was with Mamiya 65mm lens developed with Ilftech DD-X N+2 times. A stormy and flat day.

Thank you very much, Paul. Initially I had part of Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet on Death as I have a relative not doing so well But, I realized even though it is beautifully written it was too dark.

However, I put this image I shared with you with a Rumi poem.

You have really captured the atmosphere, the drama.

I've been to Chile, though. Of get so far south. My wife was in that same area this past January. There are opportunities for virtually every kind of photography. I hope you share some more.

Thank you very much, Stephen. Hopefully, I will.

What a stunning landscape - makes a superb B&W image

I see traveling light is a relative term!
