Gone to See Patagonia 2010/2011. Photography Workshop with Thom Hogan. Day 13: Torres del Paine National Park, Chile.
This was a travel day. We departed Mirador del Payne Hosteria (Estancia Lazo) and drove to the Lago Grey Hosteria in Torres del Paine National Park. During the drive we stopped many times and I got pictures of a variety of birds. Southern Lapwing, Lesser Rhea (South American version of an Ostrich), Andean Condor, Upland Goose, Coscoroba, and Chilean Flamingo.

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.

Gone to See Patagonia 2010/2011. Photography Workshop with Thom Hogan. Day 12: Calafate, Argentina to Estancia Lazo, Chile.
This was a travel day, starting out in Argentina and ending up in Chile. For lunch we stopped at an Estancia (sheep ranch). I don’t think we crossed the border yet. We had a demonstration of the sheepdogs herding the sheep, and then one of the sheep getting sheared. That is where wool comes from. After lunch we proceeded to Hosteria Mirador del Payne on Estancia Lazo. A long drive.
