Buenos Aires, Argentina

Thank you all for your positive and encouraging comments! My wife and I decided today that we'll move to Buenos Aires for a few months next year. So exciting and I can't wait to pack my camera and a LOT of film! 😀
 
Went on another trip to Argentina. First we went to Ushuaia, Terra del Fuego, from there to el Calafate to see and hike on glaciers in the Andes, and then to Buenos Aires for culture. I only take one camera / one lens on each of my trips. This time I took my new to me M4 black paint, a 35/2 Summicron, and a bag of FP-4. Traveling light! 😀

Enjoy!

Terra del Fuego or the "End of the World" is simply amazing: seeing the snow covered Andes drop into the ocean and all the wildlife (penguins, sea lions, Albatros whales), is stunning.

We went hiking on this glacier. Quite scary, I can tell you, looking down into the crevasse and jumping over them! But the reward was the glass of whiskey with glacier ice cubes at the end of the hike.

I am seriously impressed and delighted. It's been an inspiring treat to see your images. Only once have I been to BA, and that was in 2001, long before I took up photography, but I remember the city being extraordinarily clean. You caught some details that are simply sublime, beauty in the small things. Thanks a lot for posting!!
 
One more. This is a composite of three different 35mm Summicron frames, stitched together in Photoshop. Not easy to scan because of the huge dynamic range of the negatives with pitch black mountains and the slightly overexposed sun-lit glacier against the Sun. Look for the people in the foreground for scale to give you an idea how huge the glacier is: 4km wide and 25km long! The glacier is in equilibrium (doesn't melt) because it snows every single day where the glacier starts 25km away from my vantage point.
