A Few of My Favourites - South America

Well. I´ve gotten a little tired of writing. More and more throughout this trip my photography has gotten slightly better each and every day. I thought I´d like to showcase a little more of that throughout my blog. Thus here are some of my favourites so far from South America, with plenty more to come!

Iguaçu Falls - Brazil
I was lucky enough to see the falls from both Argentina and Brazil with my sister Rosalyn. We arrived in the park after a miserably long bus ride to find sunshine, a slight breeze and gorgeous rainbows. Of a full afternoon of posing, taking selfies, running through the crazy mist to the platform in the bottom right corner, this was my best shot of the day.


Rio de Janerio - Brazil
One of the few days I wasn´t baking away inside the Fifa Fan Fest, I managed to actually explore the city.  I spent the day exploring Ipanema and Copacabana beach before heading to Arpoador which is a huge rocky cliff in between the two beaches. Climbing all over I was able to take this shot of a young Brazilian debating whether to jump in or not a few hours before sunrise.

Easter Island - Chile
Ahu Tongariki. Battling the grogginess of a 6am wake up, intense patches of rain and wind, we managed to drive our 4x4 to Tongariki only find a bitter, dark and cloudy sky. However as the sun started to rise, the clouds started to evaporate. A dusty rock, my phone, and the camera strap provided a perfect tripod setup for this long exposure shot.

Easter Island - Chile
Two from Easter Island?! Obviously you need to get your ass out here then! Eating a Rapa Nui Ceviche at La Kaleta in Hanga Roa with an Aus couple, the sun was falling into a spectacular cluster of clouds. Excusing myself and getting out of the way of an American group eating dinner, I managed to snap this photo just before the mains arrived.

San Pedro de Atacama - Chile
I actually didn´t take this photo, although I did configure all the settings myself. The credit for the photo goes to Henriette my German friend who I met in Ushuaia and was lucky enough to find again in San Pedro. After a good few hours of sandboarding, we made our way over to Valle de la Luna and walking around barefoot, made my way to the end of Mirador de Kari where I was able to catch the end of a sunset.

Hope you enjoyed! Let me know if you do. Like, comment, share, retweet, follow me. You can not do me a greater compliment than by doing any of those for me!
