I am excited to announce that my image “Torres Dramatic Sunrise” will be a Highly Honored Landscape in the 2009 Nature’s Best Windland Smith Rice International Photography Awards! I created this image 2 years ago while backpacking in Torres Del Paine National Park in Chile. Most trekkers who have visited this location have done so while multi-day trekking and usually only spend 1 night before moving on. However, my only goal during my visit was to photograph the Torres in epic light, so I spent 5 days/4 nights camping in the same location so that I could photograph the spires each day. My last morning was the most dramatic. You can read more about it in my previous post on the Singh-Ray filters blog.
Awesome image Jon. I love the Torres Mirador. Such a magnificent place.
