Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture on a trip to Peru. I drove through the mountains between Arequipa and Chivay, this place is located in the Salinas reserve on the way to an altitude of 5000 m .

Time

It was midday. It was getting very cold. In October the season is good, but it's very cold in the morning and at night by sea and on the edge of the Lake, but the mountains due to the altitude the temperature is still low. We are close to the highest volcanoes in the world..I had big problem with altitude I was starting to have acute mountain sickness and the driver gave me medicines and chewing coca leaves, I confess that I felt a little weird and not in great shape.

Lighting

The light was surprising and very disturbing. At this altitude I had the impression that the sky was going to touch the ground, and black clouds approaching were extremely threatening

Equipment

My camera is a Canon 5D mark II with a objectif 24/105. Du to the light I need to have iso 100 with an exposure 1/800 Focale F6.3 and no tripod . At the front the light was very clear and at the back very dark .When travelling , you don't always have time to use the tripod . On this part I was travelling with other people and had no time to spend to use a tripod . I would have like to have more time and stay a little bit more time but it was not possible .

Inspiration

This photo inspires me a feeling of being very small on this planet so impressive .And this black weather which gives me the impression that the sky will fall me on the head. A great feeling of loneliness also. I have the impression to find me somewhere lost in the film "the road" by john Hillcoat.

Editing

Not a great post processing , just balancing the exposure and contrast

In my camera bag

I always take my camera with another battery , Only a tripod if I am sure to need it because of the weight . I never forget to take a filter anti UV and a a polarizing filter .I also take my compact flash because I like to take many pictures with many differents exposures .For the wide angle and the zoom , only if I am sure to use it . Always because of the weight .

Feedback

I know that I do not have the right to the error, this is not a trip I would do often in my life and I do a maximum of shots to be certain to have the choice in my pictures when I'd be back home. Many places are unique and are never identical due to the weather, the light and the present moment.Peru is a magical place for photographers, the light is very special .
