Location
The photo was taken while glacier climbing on The Perito Moreno Glacier in Patagonia, ArgentinaTime
The image was captured in the early afternoonLighting
The image was shot in natural lighting. It was a beautiful sunny day on the glacier and the way the sun illuminated the snowy peaks made for breathtaking blue cold paletteEquipment
At the time I used a Canon Rebel T1i, f/10.0, ISO 100, 1/500 exposureInspiration
While glacier trekking, I was captivated by the grandeur of the beauty of the glacier itself, the quiet and peaceful surroundings, and the amazing display of blue hues as the sun reflected off the snowy peaks. I wanted to capture the intense blues and the beauty of undisturbed nature.Editing
No post-processing was usedIn my camera bag
I work with a full-frame Canon 6d and my "go-to lens" is a 24-105mm f/4.0L IS lensFeedback
I was new to photography at the time of capture and was still experimenting with my equipment. If I were to reshoot this image again, I would definitely use a tripod with an f/22 setting, a telephoto lens and polarizing filter to capture more details in the glacier caps
