A Photographer’s Paradise
Camera lens autofocus and aperture dial precision became crucial during this exercise of documenting Cerro Tronador’s sunset surrender. From dawn till dusk, patience is the vital equipment needed to capture each detail as it unfolds; photographers immerse themselves into nature, acutely alert and still, awaiting those crucial 3- to 5-second windows, carefully composed shots that crystallize an experience into indelible moments.
This surreal Patagonian sundown embodies an artistic composition par excellence. Cerro Tronador’s frost-rimmed peaks undulate gently as the air clears; waterfalls appear out of the shadows as their respective colors, golden yellows and crimson orange tints, begin the journey. Softly painted blue-gray clouds hover the surrounding expanse, framing, to an extent, what might have been viewed before from various vantage points throughout this ever-taming sky. As photography attempts to mirror the infinite complexities that arise, with sunrays dissolving its base as day succumbs to darkness, we gain greater empathy with the artistic grandiosity this natural haven harbors.
