In Awe of Perito Moreno

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted May 17, 2012147 views2 comments

I took this shot of one of the friends I met on my trip to see Los Glaciares National Park, in Patagonia, Argentina, as he looked on in wonder at this amazing glacier, the Perito Moreno. A few minutes after, our group put on our crampons and proceeded to hike on this awesome natural structure. It was a beautiful sunny day with clouds to match.

I think the large cloud in the center/left is a bit blown out, but I was only able to bring a bit more detail out of it in post processing before it started to look unnatural.

I would appreciate any feedback/suggestions. Thanks everyone!

Leo, nice placement of your friend in relation to the large rock and wonderful length of the glacier. Just a thought on your processing. The latest version of Lightroom, LR4, has vastly improved highlight recovery. Great information on that and much more can be found on Michael Frye's website at Michael Frye .
