Patagonia landscape

I'm flying to Buenos Aires this evening to begin my photo tour to Patagonia, one of the best areas in the world for great landscapes. Several years ago when I traveled here, they had had a fire that unfortunately damaged a lot of the very slow-growing vegetation. This is one example. It's a favorite picture of mine from the trip, but at the same time it's sad that the hand of man is so often destructive. For the composition, I used what I call the 'Classic landscape technique' that I learned from David Muench at the beginning of my career way back in the 70's. It involves finding a striking foreground and composing it very close to the camera position while using a wide angle lens and a small lens aperture for maximum depth of field. This makes the foreground disproportionately large compared to the background. My settings for this shot were 1/60, f/32, and 400 ISO, and I used a 24mm wide angle.
