moonset/sunrise in patagonia

March 22, 2011 • Blog, Workshops

In Patagonia right now with Photo Quest Adventures.  We are in Chalten, a small town right below Mt. Fitzroy, one of the most spectacular mountains I know.  We went out to shoot sunrise on Fitzroy, and our timing was perfect to catch a full moon setting.

As we were setting up waiting on sunrise, we worked on night images with the moon.  Just by chance we had a car drive past adding nice curved headlight streak in the foreground.

Sunrise was also spectacular.  The high winds of Patagonia created saucer lenticular clouds and for a brief moment the sky caught fire.

Patagonia teaches a well known rule in photographing landscapes. You can never predict weather, and you can never create a great landscape shot by staying in bed.  We left our hotel skeptical about getting any light, but in the end we captured both moonset and sunrise images.
