DESCRIPTION
After years of personal research, I decided to make only extreme Panoramic landscapes... Unfortunately a format not very appreciated in social networks that today oblige us to increasingly forced views.I strongly believe that to stand out you have to find a new style, something nobody does, to be an inventor, an artist who doesn't copy, who doesn't emulate, but who creates.
This is my mission, to inspire others to go further, to do something no one else does, to give the observer the chance to find himself immersed in a spectacle that surrounds him at 360°.
this is a 180° panorama of the best Milky Way I've ever seen in my life.
I like to call Chile an "unfriendly place". The arid expanses of land that characterize the Atacama Desert make jokes about the visitors, you'll be under the illusion that the big mountains on the horizon can be reached in a couple of hours, then on the map, you'll find that they are 800km away.
They have been 10 challenging days, which tested myself, in the next pictures that I will post I will tell you about the changes in altitude when at 4500mt of altitude I fainted; Chile is a challenging, complex place.
When we arrived at Rainbow Valley we were all speechless, the rocks over 20 meters high make this one of the most special places in the world, it seemed to be on another planet.
Here we have a 180° multiexposure panorama stitch of 16 shots with astrotracker for the sky
AUTHOR
In 2008 I approached Photography buying a small camera to capture the first landscapes, the first trips. Six years later I started to study deeply the techniques of planning, shooting and editing while i started to think about my own style, experimenting with the first wide field photographs. Today, after these years of research i finally have found my way to represent the strong connection i have with nature, with the landscape; the extreme panoramas are the language that I have sewn to myself, a choice sometimes uncomfortable (you have to consider the elements in front of, on the side and behind the point of shooting, often you can not shoot), but that gives me a way to express the immense beauty of what surrounds us, trying to inspire those who follow me to travel, to be curious, to respect and appreciate every scenario that nature, generous, gives us.
