Machu Picchu




Peru is divided into 25 regions and the province of Lima. The 25 regions are divided into provinces in 194. The 195 provinces (including the province of Lima) are subdivided 1833 districts.

The province of Lima, located on the central coast of the country, is the only one that does not belong to any region. The city of Lima, the capital city, is located in this province.

Peru is located in western South America, on the banks of the South Pacific Ocean, between Chile and Ecuador. It also shares borders with Colombia, Brazil and Bolivia.

The western coastal plains (known as coast) are separated by low lands covered by the eastern jungle of the Amazon basin (the jungle) by high and craggy mountains of the Andes (the sierra). On the border with Bolivia is the Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world altitude, the 3 821 m.


Machu Picchu there are so many pictures, almost all the same I tried this in HDR.

What do you think!

Nice view, good use of HDR - makes for a dramatic scene.. Maybe the stonework of the village is a little too bright, but still nice work..

Hi Sergio,
As you say, there must be thousands of pictures of this view, this place being one of the most photographed places on this earth. I think the stone ruins are bit too bright. Hopefully on eof these days, I will see this with my own eyes, till then, I will enjoy the photos.

Hi, Sergio. The composition, POV looks good. But for some reason the colors do not match the background and the foreground does not naturally blend into the background. The image looks like a cut out front part pasted on the background.
HDR is a new concept for me and I cannot comment the effects it produces.

Hi Sérgio,
Glad to see you back!
Thanks for your colorful interpretation of this fantastic site!
From the HDR, the strong and vibrating colors and their contrast are so appropriate at the force of this mytic place. I envy you a little bit to have the chance to see this splendour, the courage too, to climb so high! ;)
Bravo! Annie

What a Great shot..

BRAVOO..

MYLZ

the classic become odd with the overdone PP
too much level on the site and quite dark in the mounts which don't match with the foreground
BUT this is your intention, to make it different
so the rating don't concern any technical element, this is just a matter of tastes
for me, not so bad, but not that great 3
Daily rating already used up.
I would have rate it one point

Hi Sergio, An absolute classic composition of this famous place. I like the clarity of textures of the stone blocks and the low clouds showing just how high this place is in the mountains. Wonderful work. TFS. Murray.

Hello Sergio!

Fantasztikus kép. Minden benne van ami egy képbe benne lehet. Remek kompozíció, dramatikus színek...
Very Good!
Gratulálok!

Hello Sergio,

I have seen this site on t.v but I think your shot portrays the site more succinctly than any I have seen before. The buildings are sharp and detailed, the loction is truly magnificent and the clouds ... they add that hint of mystery which has always surrounded the place.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Sergio:)
This is just stunning view!
Great place to be - my dream however...
Very good choice to do HDR - this image look fantastic - I love it!
How come there is no people? - I mean tourists walking everywhere... or they have this place with limited access?
Best regards - Tom:)

Hi Sergio,
I dream to go to this place some day ...
So wonderful - and I wonder how you managed it to be there without other people.
Just fantastic, thank you for this impressive shot
Sabine - wishnugaruda

Hello Sergio - This has to be one of the best photos I have ever seen of Machu Picchu! Even though I have seen this view many times before, the clarity, sharpness, and contrast are superb!

Impressive shoot, its like I am stanting next to you...I will appreciate it if you can tell me which lens you've used, and how to take an angle so precise.
