Gone to See Patagonia 2010/2011. Photography Workshop with Thom Hogan. Day 8: Hosteria El Pilar.

The weather in Patagonia is constantly changing. One thing our guide Rob told me was that he expected to see a rainbow every day. On the way back from our hike it started to rain, so we hightailed it back to Hosteria El Pilar. When we got there I saw these two horses grazing under a rainbow from the back patio. Image taken with a Nikon D3x and 50 mm f/1.4G lens (ISO 800, 50 mm, f/5.6, 1/320 sec).

Silhouette of Mount Fitzroy at dusk from Hosteria El Pilar in El Chalten. We had just finished the main dinner course and our hosts were bringing out the dessert. We saw this developing out the window, and all of us ran outside to take some pictures. I only had my point and shoot camera in my pocket and was not going to take the time to go back to my room not knowing how long the colorful display of clouds would last. “The best camera is the one with you”. I like the version that +Thomas Paris took and he made some beautiful prints. Image taken with a Leica D-Lux 5 camera (ISO 80, 19.2 mm, f/5.6, 1/100 sec).
