David's Images of the Day Photoblog
This was our first full day at Estancia Helsingfors. I am adding some images taken that day. And I still have many more to share.
Gaucho and Mount at Estancia Helsingfors in Patagonia. Image taken with a Nikon D3s camera and 24-120 mm f/4 lens (ISO 200, 66 mm, f/5.6, 1/640 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 8, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
We started the day riding horses on a trail to an alpine lake. Most of the group chose to ride the horses, even though many of us had not been on a horse for many years. The horses brought us to a point near the end of the trail which we needed to complete on foot. Our gaucho took an image of me riding the trail with my Leica V-Lux 20 point & shoot camera. One thing that all of us on the horses learned was the need to apply sunscreen to the tops of our hands, which were all sun-burned by the end of the trip. That afternoon after getting back to Helsingfors, we checked out and took the bus to Hosteria El Pilar just outside of El Chalten. This location is much closer to Fitzroy. So far the weather on the trip has been unusually clear for Patagonia. Note that I don’t like the color profile for these out-of-the-camera jpg images.
