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, the scene had no vegetation, construction, people, animals, billboards, or visual distractions. I am not used to desert scenes! I was amazed by the numerous dark-coloured hills over the ocean and under textured clouds.
To find a balance between the sky and the ocean, I had to use a long focal length. I composed and framed the image using a 180mm focal length. Imagine the results if I had used a wide-angle lens! Once again, I was glad to have two cameras ready to shoot!
During that amazing trip, I captured lovely landscape scenes.
