In August 2018, we travelled to Peru and Bolivia as members of an organised trip.
Peru features a 1,555-mile (2,500 km) long, narrow desert strip along its Pacific coast, making up about 10% of the country and acting as one of the driest places on Earth.
For that trip, I carried two identical Olympus cameras, the first set with a 24–80mm lens and the second with an 80–300mm lens.
On the day the guide brought us to this vantage point, I was amazed to see a yellow desert hill surrounded by darker desert hills. It looked like gold!
Handheld, I composed and framed the image using a 300mm focal length. To obtain a perfect exposure (ETTR), I intentionally overexposed by 1.3 stops. Once again, I was happy to have two cameras ready to shoot!
During that amazing trip, I captured lovely landscape scenes.
