[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Salar de Uyuni,in Bolivia is the biggest salt covered area of the world.It is 160 km long and 135 km wide.The thickness of the salt is between 2 and 7 meters.Local people call the Salar:"white ocean".
Every year the total salt production is about 20.000 tons.
During the rainy season the salar is covered with water,and it can last till april,that you can drive on it.In Uyuni are many tour-operators,which offers different tours,from one day up to three days.It`s also possible to do a one way, 3 days,two night tour to San Pedro de Atacama in chile,as I did.

Nice colors, contrast, and sharpness. Did you use a polarizer with this shot?

Impressive and spectacular, this place. Your color settings was perfect.

Great shot, excellent DOF and detail, nicely composed. Good note too.

Awesome photo Andreas. The wide angle and polariser work really well. Excellent exposure and great definition in the clouds. The low point of view is also good.

Hi Andreas
Beautiful sight and great colours. Good picture
-greetings Albrecht-

Interesting subject. Although the exposure seems under control, there's something bothering me regarding the softness of the clouds. The image is sharp but it seems it went through a noise reduction post processing. Well, nothing against that but it seems to me as if it lacks some texture.

Compared to the salt fields in the Philippines, this is a super giant! Very nice photo, clear and sharp.

Hi Leo
Vey nice shot from Colchane salt mining. When I was here there is no more water on the salt flat.
Great polarized color but I think the smoothness on some area is to high. Do you use a noise reducer like NeatImage ?
Cheers
JP

Beautiful shot. I love the DOF and the colors.

Hi Leo. I've seen a few photographs of the Salar de Uyuni here on TE, but this is one of the best. Very good contrast, saturation and DOF. Cheers . . . David

Hi Andreas
Amazing composition !
Fantastic colours and deep.
Good DOF, POV and sharpness, maybe you used a photoedit program to acheive this condition, but the result is fine.
Good work
Tayon

Incredible, strange, upsetting place... and a wonderful landscape!! What wonderful colors, how many whites! It must have been an amazing view!
Great job.
Livia

What an incrediable place. I bet you get all dried up just driving through. How anyone can work here is beyond me. Wonderful picture!!! Beautiful!!!

Hallo Leo,
das könnte man glatt für ein Winterbild halten.Klasse, wie sich die Gipfel vor den Wolken abheben und dann der stahlblaue Himmel darüber - geniales Bild. Gruss, Thomas

Toute ta série bolivienne est superbe ; mais si je dois en ressortir une, c 'est celle-ci : j' aime comme le blanc ressort réellement blanc. Et ces nuages...
