Too dark.

Very well done Yan Zhang. Sorry we could not meet. Was in Valle Ascencio all month of April this year 2016, but did not see you. Keep going with your good photography of our Patagonia.

You have to be lucky to see the milky way in a calm night at the Base Las

Torres lookout. Especially now that most people can stay only one night at the

Torres Camp. Try to plan it when there is no full moon!

Yes, A polarizer was used.

This area is only open for climbers or with a special permit from CONAF.

I could stay some 31 days at the Torres Camp and visited all the valley

with its secrets. I knew all in the year 1998, but I had to make new

photos as we are now in the digital age. First, very cold and it snowed 3

times. And finally, the last 10 days of April, only fine weather, but almost

no clouds. Here I am some 4 hours away from the Torres Camp, just

below the Towers where there is a great mass of ice. We spent 2 days

exploring the glacier and taking the wonderful sunrises I will show later.

This is really close to the towers. Please bring wide angle otherwise at

this place towers do not enter in the frame.

Just marvellous. Daniel.

Very good idea. Thanks for sharing it.

Daniel

Perfect long exposure shot.

Karl,

No, it is just optical ilusion. I was on Lake level. Thanks for your interest.

The golden colour is product of the artificial lights of the street behind me. Not

excess of Photoshop. That was a very quite night of December some years

ago. Thanks for Critiques, Ratings and Comments.

Near Salto Grande, a little further up are some nice rapids as shown in the

photo last week. But even further up, just where they start, are some nice

compositions to be made. You have to find the way how to reach the place.

Thanks for Critiques, Ratings and Comments.

We found a stranded ladder on the beach, probably a victim of the last

tempest. So I used it in the composition. Thanks for Ratings, Critiques and

Comments.

I very much like the shot, but I would also have waited to have some person at the end of the walkway/Bridge and/or looking through a nearby window. That would put some life in the picture. But anyway, I am hooked with it as it is. 

I had finished the photo session with the Paine Grande when suddently a last

lighted cloud formed over the summit of that famous mountain. Again

organizing the big lens on the tripod, puting the Polar filter and shooting to the

last light on the top. A very magical moment and just in time. Thanks for

Ratings and Critiques.

It was early in the morning, not too cold. Waiting for some nice clouds to

accompany the sunrise, but not a single cloud around. Never mind, it was a

magical moment anyway. Tried to compensate the lack of clouds with a nice

foreground, so as to avoid publishing already well known photos from that

point. Thanks for Critiques and Ratings.

I used a modell with my torch to "light" the big star, on the morraine at the

Lookout of Base Las Torres. Modell did not move for 30 seconds! Thank you

Sebastián. Thanks for Comments, Critiques and Ratings.

Hello Giangiorgio,

But to take good photographs in Patagonia needs a lot of patience and time. This is the most difficult, above all for visitors with not much time available.

Forgot, Towers iluminated by a half moon.

On a calm night, I went up to the lookout at 03:30 h from the Torres Camp to

take night photography. Unfortunatelly, the Milky Way had already gone. But

the nice stars and the quitness of the place were worth the effort. Nobody else

around except our group. Thanks for Comments, Critiques or Ratings.

This was the last day that the surface of the lake was OK for walking on it. No

sunrise that morning but lot of work with the frozen lake. Thanks for

Comments, Critiques or Ratings.

Thanks Larry, But I published already a book about all Patagonia in 2009. 6000 books, all sold last year. It had 256 pages and more than  1000 pictures.
