hello everyone my name is estefan torro
i'm a travel photographer and a sony
ambassador
today with bnh we're going to take you
on a journey to the beautiful snowy
mountains of alaska
[Music]
from this trip i really expect to have a
beautiful sunrise picture where i will
have all the mountains of alaska and
there will be like beautiful sunrise
like but let's see if the water
cooperates so i will actually be able to
have it and also i'm thinking about
documenting a little bit the stories of
how these dogs live in this beautiful
camp in the mountains of talkitna i will
take the dog sledding myself and i'll be
taking pictures with my camera while i
mean dogs learning to give this point of
view perspective so you will also feel
integrated as a viewer into the final
picture for this trip i decided to bring
my a7r iv then i also decided to bring
the 16 35 millimeter 2.8 g master the 24
70 millimeter 2.8 g master the 7200 2.8
g master and the 200 600 6.3 g master
from sony something that is very
important is to research before the
places you will go and try to understand
how it will look like so you will get an
idea of the exact lenses and equipment
that you might need i like to use two
body of cameras because it allows me to
have two different lenses so if i'm in a
situation where i need to change really
fast like i will be doing in the
helicopter i just have like one wide
angle in one one and the other one i
will have a telephoto lens and that will
help me to switch between them
for dog sledding i'm planning to use the
wide angle lens the 1635 because it will
give me more like perspective of a point
of view so you as a viewer you will have
this understanding of how it feels like
to be doing the dog sledding while i use
this lens it has happened to me many
times that i have been in one trip and i
said like i wish i could have broke this
lens and it happened because i didn't
research before but also if you bring
too much equipment it will be too heavy
for you to carry and it will be a hostel
in general to go with all this stuff and
travel and be able to walk and get to
further and other places so another good
tip that i can give you is that you will
pack several batteries because when you
are in cold places like this one i'm
right now at minus 20 fahrenheit that is
approximately like minus 28 celsius
battery state to drain up really really
fast so it's really important that you
have several batteries of course that
will depend on how much you will be
shooting if you'll be shooting video if
you will be shooting pictures uh and all
that will determine like how many
batteries you will need but in general
it's important that you're packing off
so you will not be in the middle of a
beautiful capture without battery i hope
these tips will help you to have a
better experience when you go to
difficult conditions to take pictures
i really hope that you learn from these
tips that it's very important to plan
ahead but also being flexible i really
hope that you learned that it's really
important to be prepared with your gear
and understand exactly what you will
bring to different situations i remember
that one of my favorite parts was when i
was flying in the helicopter and i could
see the mountain range and the sun was
hitting it was super beautiful and we
were getting super close to the mountain
it was a very fulfilling experience and
i remember that i was trying to enjoy it
not only with my eyes but also with my
camera and one last tip that i would
like to give you is that
if you have to choose between taking the
picture and enjoy it for yourself
choose to enjoy it for yourself i think
it's very important that you have
beautiful experience in your heart more
than in with your camera many times it
has happened to me that i wasn't able to
capture a beautiful moment because
actually what i was leaving was so
beautiful that i was not able to press
the shutter so i always say that it's
the picture it's always the second best
image that i was able to get
do
