Orange colors at dawn in Patagonia. Hosteria Lago Grey near Torres del Paine National Park. Image taken with a Nikon D3x camera and 28-120 mm f/4 lens (ISO 100, 75 mm, f/5/6. 1/10 sec).
Guanaco Running at the Entrance to Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia. We were working on taking landscape images when two Guanaco’s started chasing each other. At one point they ran right through our group, and I managed to take this picture. Two days earlier we had been practicing taking pictures of horses in motion, which helped me take this one. Image taken with a Nikon D3s camera and 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 200, 300 mm, f/16, 1/100 sec). Later on there was a Guanaco framed on a ridge with the mountains behind.

One issue with using a DSLR to take images in Patagonia is the wind, and the potential for dust to land on the camera sensor when changing lenses. I had to spend a lot of time removing the dust spots from this image.
Walkabout after the second snow storm in two days with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 90 mm f/2 lens.
