Location
Our cruise called at Ushuaia. We were intending to ride the Southernmost Train in the World, but there were issues with that. If we'd been able to take the ride, we might not have taken the stroll ... and seen this!Time
Mid-afternoon.Lighting
Since I almost always use natural light, check the weather forecast!Equipment
Nikon D40X ; hand-held. I try not to carry too much equipment when moving aroundInspiration
The abandoned ocean-going tug is the 'St. Christopher', formerly HMS Justice of the Royal Navy. It was damaged beyond repair during a salvage operation in the 1950s, and just abandoned here. It just looked so lonely and forlorn.Editing

As little as possible ... usually just the camera, a Go Pro, a Gorilla-pod and spare batteries and memory cards.Feedback
Just keep looking around. You may come across something you didn't know about an hour before, but will still make a good picture. Goes without saying, too, always carry some means of taking pictures!
