Some ruins in Pisac near Cusco, Peru.

More pictures from my trip to South America

Post-processing
Stitched some pictures together with automatic photomerge in Photoshop. Turned up the contrast on the sky with a curves layer and lightened slightly and turned up the contrast on the foreground with another curves layer. Turned up the contrast on the whole picture some slightly more with a black and white layer set to soft light (20&%).

I miss mountains, I think i need to get out of Sydney for a holiday.
Similar in some ways to Central Otago, NZ. [link]

Oh and i love the browns contrasting with the blue sky here. Maybe a little more definition on the green valley on the left to brighten up that corner maybe? The close hillside on the right tends to draw the eye to that valley and the mountain there. Just a thought.
Thanks, M.

I miss mountains now as well, but in the holiday I'm going to the west coast of Norway, and there there are tons of mountains :XD:

One of the things I loved with the Andes was how I could get an exposure where the sky was blue but still not get underexposed mountains (without a polarizing filter). For some reason that's almost immpossible here in Norway (or maybe it's just because it's "always" overcast ;))

I guess I maybe could have croped the picture a bit, especially the wall and it's shadow to the right of the picture also draws a lot of attention!

It wasn't very hot, or in the sun it wasn't too bad, and my face got sunburnt, but in the shadow it was sooo cold!

Du reiser en del hva, Åsta?
Skulle ønske jeg hadde råd til å utforske verden litt...

Uansett, supert panorama. Liker godt kontrasten til himmelen ;)

Reiser litt ja, mest fordi mamma er utrolig glad i å reise og har tatt oss med på noen turer :aww:. Hadde aldri hatt råd til noe sånt noe om jeg hadde betalt alt selv!

Og glad du liker bildet (selv om jeg svarer utrolig seint :XD:)
