The River Runs Through the Andes

    Kiva and Stuck In Customs
    Today, I am announcing that a percentage of all book profits will go to Kiva. I have written a little bit about Kiva on the Charity page here on the site. Also, I made this little video to tell you what the heck Kiva is. If you haven't heard of it before, it's probably not what you expect!

    To get started, come join Team Stuck In Customs and let me know your experiences! You can either put it here or on the Charity page.

    Live Interview Today (Nov 9) on TWIP (This Week in Photography)

    Watch LIVE HERE!

    At 11 AM PST (1 PM CST), tune in live to the video at Leo Laporte's TWIT cottage here on live.twit.tv. I won't be talking about HDR today... I think that is being saved for a future interview when the book comes out. However, I will be talking about that video method I used to make the "Moments Between" video.

    Come tune in Live and send Tweets along the way to @frederickvan! If you miss it, you'll have to wait for it to be released on Wednesday! Don't let that happen!

    Today's Photo
    Our daily photo today comes from deep in the Andes. Getting to this position was not as long a hike as the others around Patagonia, but it was no cakewalk! It was one of those strange river-rock strewn areas where the rocks seemed to be the perfect size for spraining your ankles. I had the tripod extended to act like a walking stick, although it's not the most handy walking stick with a giant Nikon on one end of it!

      it's amazing what this looks like @original.. the treelines look painted at large but at smaller sizes it all looks penciled.. you have an amazing control over your comps and you know how to control the details.. finally, the mix between the foreground and that icy range in back makes for a surreal image.

      your work is giving me all the more reason to take an excursion down to SA.

      Great shot! I love the angle!

      as usual...ONE SHOT ONE KILL! ;) every pic from you is a really masterpiece! I love your works,men...! great!

      Nice one. Great depth of field, and the unusually jagged mountains at the back give a point to it. This time, I guess the photo is tolerably close to what you would actually have seen at the time.

    17. Warren Mcguire (43 months ago | reply)

      Nice exposure and colours trey

    18. mrvensiebite (43 months ago | reply)

      Superb photo Trey, love that colour combination!

      But let's get a few more people signed up at KIVA - what a fantastic idea, so thanks (again!) to Trey for spreading the word. The concept of helping people who are doing their best for themselves and their families is surely a very worthy cause

    29. Simon Vogt (43 months ago | reply)

      Gorgeous, Trey! I love your composition on this. It really draws your eye through the river, around those rocks, and right up to those amazing peaks. Wonderful photo!
