The mountains in Patagonia are so dynamic and so photogenic it's hard to stop staring at them. If the sky is clear, the golden light of sunrise and sunset is simply breathtaking. Contrast is relatively low at this time and that makes photography much better. If the sky is overcast, as it was in my last post, the Patagonian Andes are just was captivating in the diffused light. These particular mountains are called Torres del Paine. This shot was from the last trip down here; it was exciting to see these massive peaks bathed in exquisite light. My settings were 1/250, f/5.6, and 200 ISO. At this distance and with nothing in the foreground, depth of field becomes irrelevant, so I opt for either f/5.6 or f/8, the two sharpest lens apertures.
