Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Northern Argentina in a place called "Valle de la Luna" which translated means "Valley of the Moon". The landscape surrounding this area looks like that of a differnet planetary surface. Amazing rock formations, fossils and colorful soil as far as the eye can see. This area in particular is called "Cancha de Bochas" which translates to "Court of Bocces" or "Bocce Court"

Time

This was taken in the middle of the day on an hike through the Valley of the Moon. The fact that it was overcast was the only saving grace for a hike through this moon desert.

Lighting

I believe a bright sunny day would have made this area look a lot less desolate in this photo

Equipment

Shot with a Canon Rebel xTi

Inspiration

A once in a lifetime opportunity to photograph an area like this inspired me to take a bunch of photos in this area.

Editing

Unprocessed and Unfiltered

In my camera bag

I normally carry a zoom and portrait lens along with my kit lens

Feedback

Look, Enjoy, Study, and then Photograph
