The image was taken on the island of Margarita in 2006. I was traveling along the road to the Macanao peninsula to explore that area of ​​the island photographically. I stopped the car at the edge of the road because the symmetry of the erosion of the terrain caught my attention. While waiting for a cloud to stop blocking the sun, he worked on setting up the camera on the tripod, placing the roll of 120 film on it. The lens used was a Carl Zeiss Distagon 50 mm on the Hasselblad. I added a red filter on the lens to darken the blue sky, I measured the light and exposed correctly for my visualization according to the luminosity values ​​and revealed the roll of film when returning from the trip according to previous calibration of the zone system.
