Los Cuernos del Paine
by Ian Plant
This photo was taken on the last day of my "Epic Patagonia" workshop. During the night, rainy skies parted just in time for a picture-perfect sunrise. What a great way to end a 10-day journey through Patagonia! More information about how the image was made can be found on my blog.
Torres del Paine National Park, Chile
Equipment: Canon 5DII, 24-105mm lens, tripod
