Behind The Lens

Location

Montgarri is a town in the municipality of Alto Arán, in the region of Valle de Arán located in the Pyrenees of Lleida - Catalunya. Coordinates: 42°45 38 N 1°00 17 E The Sanctuary of Montgarri, at a height of 1640 meters, is in a good state of conservation, was built in 1117. Its high bell tower stands out, with an octagonal tower with windows in the upper body. It is a building that had a hostel, church, rectory and administration, and corral with haystacks. Slate roofs have a strong inclination appropriate to climatic conditions. Now this town has gained more importance due to tourism, as it is very close to the ski resorts of Baqueira Beret, and has places like the Refuge Amics de Montgarri (next to the Sanctuary), and during the winter there are cross-country skiing trails or dog sleigh excursions, for example.

Time

This photo was taken on October 21, 2015 at 16:48 hours, just before sunset.

Lighting

At this moment the light is magnificent as it enters the golden hour, which together with the colors of autumn, creates a heavenly effect full of peace, where nature acquires great importance before the majesty of the Sanctuary of Montgarri, giving the valley of Montgarri a very particular aspect of this place.

Equipment

This photo is made with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III, with a 50 mm f/1.4 lens, and speed 1/125 sec at f 8. And an tripod BENRO

Inspiration

On one of my summer walks in the area I was captivated by the views of the valley and the peculiarity of the Sanctuary, so I waited until autumn to take the photo I thought could have a fantastic light.

Editing

After taking the photo I carried out an editing process with very little process, I framed the photo, adjusted the color tone a little, and gave more light to the shadows.

In my camera bag

Canon EOS 5D Mark III, with a 50 mm f/1.4 lens, and speed 1/125 sec at f 8., an Irix 15 mm f 2.2, and an Canon 24-105 f 4. An tripod BENRO

Feedback

Much patience to seek the ideal moment, if possible.
