Good morning, Michael, what a beautiful shot to start this dull and cold day with!
It almost seems an unreal background, like a big screen in a road movie (which is of course hard to shoot in a studio!)
The highest peaks are not even completely visible because of the impressive clouds (I read your notes now, and see that you also mention a road movie).
The whole scene renders a feeling of a very empty and inhospitable country. Better be prepared for cold storms and low temperatures.

It seemed like the mountains flowts on air (and it always makes me happy to see patagonia again...).

Hi Michael: Excellent picture. The bust trully helps you position yourself relative to the mountains.

Good decision about keeping the tilt, Michael. Otherwise it would look unnatural.
Great DOF and low POV makes the bus very dynamic and the BG soft and breath-taking.
This looks like some movie opening scene. ;-D

Hi Michael, This is a beautiful picture. The background mountains and cloud under the blue sky made the cheerful tone of this picture. If it were a movie, it should be a one with Hollywood ending :)
Good DOF and POV. I like the disappearing looking of the road, which makes the view to imaging. Well done.

Hi Michael,

I like the feel of the photograph and agree that the mountain scene is so perfect it looks like it could have been a painted backdrop.

Am new to TE, but really like your selection and will be exploring more.

Very nice "On the Road" photo with the bus. The mountains in the back look a bit oversaturated, but that's alright. Good work here with the low angel. This shot reminds me so much of my own shot of the Peruvian highway. Good work.

Dag Michael,
Wat een desolate omgeving daar, best dat de bus wat animo brengt, de bergen op de achtergrond vind ik dan wel mooi, hier moet ik Rinie wel eventjes volgen, maar de samenstelling is zeer goed. De lichte korrel zal wel door de scanning komen.
Groeten,
John.

very nice shot, I like the mountains and the blur of the road, the vehicle is a very nice catch and very sharp indeed, well done

HI MIchael

nice shot, incredible place, so big

I thank you for not leveling the shot, and showing reality as it is...Sometimes we confuse rules of photography and when something is not leveled in reality appears someone saying "your horizon is tilted"

:)

I am glad you enjoyed the trip and a pity we did not meet being so close

A hug my friend, be well

K.

Patagonia is one of my dream destinations, Michael, and I'm glad to see this fine photo from there. Indeed a bit of a "road movie" feel to this scene of the bus traversing the magnificent landscape. The vehicle is very well placed in the frame, and the view towards teh mountain range is grand - I like how the summits are engulfed by clouds. Very nice bright light and good blueish tones in the back. Well done.
