Pingueral Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I have not seen any picture in TE of the entire region where I am from. Thus, it is my duty to post some shots to share with the TE community.
This is Pingueral, 40 km north of Concepción, which is the capital of the Bio-Bio Region. Although Pingueral is used mainly as summer holiday resort, some few families (including my parents) have decided to reside permanently here, despite the relative isolation.
The place is nice, but do not be fooled by the picture, the water, even in summer, is very cold. This is due to the Humboldt’s current coming from the Antarctic, which cools down the whole coast of Chile.

You can see the POV in Google Earth at 36°31’50”S ; 72°56’12”

More pictures of this “underrated” region of Chile in the future.

Hello Jorge.
This must be a nice place to live in. Beautiful view over the beach. In my opinion it seems a little underexposed but when I look at the exposure I don't understand why. Maybe you have done some PP-work?
Great point of view and composition. Nice colours and sharpness.

Regards
Per

Jorge esta foto es bonita por la escena que nos muestras. Se ve que es una region con mucha belleza natural. Sobre la foto puedo decir que se ve un poco opaca. Talves necesita un poquito de contraste. El pino o arbol a la izquierda queda muy bien y forma un marco natural ideal para la escena. Buen angulo para captar este lugar. Gracias Jorge.
