So I managed to stumble upon this insane landscape after walking 6kms into nowhere, finding some ancient ruins, climbing onto the roof of a half finished hotel, then kicked out of the area by a policeman because of the political issues surrounding the ruins. Meeting a herd of llamas on the way out(will post the llama next) along with the beginning of the thunderstorm sneaking over the mountain. Just an average night in the north of argentina i thought to myself. All we had was mate (argentinian drink), rollies, 2 empanadas, dulce de leche and nowhere but the dusty floor to sleep. So i did what any other photographer would do in a time like this, wait for the moon and avoid my dreams and then wait for the sunrise. So i set up my film camera for a good few shots without the moon to kill time by catching the stars running through the sky. A few shots from 20mins to 1 hour. i put on some accompanying music, sat down in the pitch black and prepared myself a mate as well as preparing myself for the night ahead.
ISO 100, f.8, 8 minutes and somehow it only managed to pick up one bolt of lightning. i must admit at one point i was worried about snakes but then I forgot.
