South America photo tour

I recently returned from a month long trip starting in Buenos Aires and the Parana Delta then going up to Southern Brazil, across of the Chilean Atacama and finishing up in the Bolivian High Atacama: stunning landscapes, very rich in volcanoes that made my geologist side squeak with excitement, but no actual oxygen in the air.

Haven't even really touched on the processing yet, have about 5000 pictures of hummingbirds alone, but here's a selection

Brief technical, all Canon R5
hummingbird 1/2000 f5.6 ISO 12000, 500mm
Waterfall 1/4 f7, ISO 100 6 stop ND filter, probably 16mm
Skyscapes, various. The black line across two of the images is a floating reed island,
Tango about 1/8 second, 35mm ISO 100, those dancers were awesome and staying still while people walked past them
The toucan and the monkeys were both around 200mm, 1/250, F7, ISO around 800ish

Wow, what amazing photos. Did you plan this trip yourself or was it a guided tour or... ?

I feel so American every time Europeans and Australians etc are all, "I recently returned from a month-long trip..." (insert lolsob emoji here)

I go with a specific photo tour company: some of the places require very specialist knowledge and permits etc to get into and while they're pretty exxy I simply wouldn't get these photos if I was on a standard tour or even if I tried myself. We were actualy suppose to go to the Galapogas but apparently civil unrest in Ecuador meant the company couldn't get insurance so we ended up in Brazil instead.

My company lets me salary sacrifice into leave. Right now I need to...

Dang, I wish you’d gotten to go to the Galapagos. Would love to see those pics, too.
