Behind The Lens

Location

At Lomas de Lachay (Lachay's Hills) national park, 100 km at the north of the city of Lima, Peru.

Time

Mid day

Lighting

Lachay is almost always clouded, so the light is always soft at mid day. I love that.

Equipment

Canon Rebel T3i, Sigma f1.4 30 mm, 18-55, and 75-300.

Inspiration

The forest only grow at winter bc of the humidity of the fog, caged by the plants wich evolve for this climate. Once summer comes with its warm air, fog disappear, either get weak, so plants cannot find water, and die. But they don't die without left their seeds first, for the next winter to reborn.

Editing

Contrast, colors, maybe some light adjust.

In my camera bag

Canon Rebel T3i, Sigma f1.4 30 mm, 18-55, and 75-300.

Feedback

Listen to the forest.
