About the Image(s)

Hello everyone, Happy New Year! The journey to Rainbow Mountain in Peru was long and challenging because I wasn't accustomed to the thin air at an altitude of over 10,000 feet. However, the surrounding landscape along the way was incredibly beautiful and untouched. In Peru, people raise goats and sheep without the need for enclosures because the land is so vast, though herding and tending to them isn't easy.

The bus that carried us rarely stopped along the way, so I took photos from inside, trying to capture moments that could result in decent compositions. I usually shot at a shutter speed of 1/250s or faster to counteract the bus's vibrations. I used ACR to edit the images, increasing the contrast and brightness overall. I then used Topaz for denoising and resized the images afterward.
