Travel: Mongolia – One heck of a land.
Thought I’d take a break from posting (and processing) wedding to put this one up. Took it a couple of months back in Mongolia by the side of the road. If you haven’t been to Mongolia, it really is an experience. You can quite literally take a photograph composed of green grassland, sand dunes and mountains all at the same time. I challenge you to find somewhere like that anywhere else in the world!
Anyway, yes this was taken on the way out west, about 8hrs drive from Ulaanbaatar, we pulled over and Holly actually went for a ride on the Camel. I was planning on stopping her since our medial insurance covered everything except camel rides, but hey how can you stop a girl with an idea in her head? After the ride I asked the nomads who owned them if they’d mind me taking a photo for prosperity. Needless to say this being the land of friendly people it was no problem and they were over-the-moon with the mini Polaroid print I gave them. Wish people around the rest of the world would be seduced by an English accent and a print of them with a camel!
Strobist info: Lit with an Elinchrom Ranger Quadra into an extra small Chimera softbox.
Right well that’s my break taken, back to the world of weddings!
More adventures soon,
Alex
“Needles to say?”
How about I give you English lessons in exchange for some lighting tutorials
Incredible photo!
Any other interesting photos taken from Mongolia?
Hey Tulga,
Yep definitely more coming! Unfortunately I’m snowed under with wedding pics at the moment but every time I get a break I’m back to the Mongolia ones. Getting some more up and getting some to you are on the todo list!
Hope everything’s good out there in Mongolia and thanks for taking us around!
