For my first post on Steepshot, I wanted to share the shot that I took that truly got me hooked on photography!
This was taken high above the mountains of Peru at 5050m and the incredible colors are created due to erosion and different layers of sediments in the ground. This photo was actually taken with my first DSLR and only about 1 week after I had bought it! Incredibly, this photo won a few National Geographic submission challenges and was featured on Yahoo news as one of the most spectacular images of 2016. It is my honor to share this photo with you :)
Make sure to check out my page for more pictures and photography tutorials! If you guys like this photo and want to see a full blog about my adventure to get to the top of this incredible place, comment below and I will!!!
Absolutely agree!

Really beautiful! We hope that one day we get to see that view. Sam has been to Peru once before, he trekked the Inca Trail from near by Cusco for 3 days and 2 nights to reach Macchu Picchu. He really loved the parts of Peru that he saw. We are both now even more eager to go there. Well done on winning a few National Geographic submission challenges with this photo :)

How is this possible? minerals?

Haha yes indeed! The colors are created due to the natural seperation of many of the minerals of the mountain. Over time, the minerals, which are all mostly of different weight and consistency were seperated from each other and then eroded allowing for the beautiful colors to become exposed! Its really quite fascinating :)
