Description
A black and white shot of the Milky Way's Galactic centre above salt formations on the surface of the Salar de Uyuni in south west Bolivia. The Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat, covering 10,582 square km / 4,086 square miles. Its huge size, the thin dry air at high altitude (3656m / 12,000ft) and surface textures and patterns can make for some surreal landscapes! These lines form as the surface of the Salar dries out and the salt crystallises after the rainy season, some parts of the Salar are covered in salt hexagon shapes. These lines were nearer the shore and the salt mixed with mud, hence the more abstract formations.
This is a single shot as the Milky Way was setting converted to black and white. The foreground was lit with some low level lighting from an LED panel, playing with different angles to highland the patterns and lines of the salt ridges on the surface.
