I recently traveled to Peru to shoot for National Geographic,

which is easily the craziest sentence I've ever said in my entire life.

Yeah, it was a week I will never forget.

Over all those days I came away with a ton of photos.

Peru is so rich with history, color, texture, beauty.

But I don't want to get ahead of myself.

I want to bring you back to the beginning.

Day one.

We started at a textile center 12,000 feet up in the mountains.

In this courtyard, women weave all day long,

making unique garments one by one, by hand.

Some work alone, some work together,

and some work alone together.

There was a photo everywhere in this beautiful place.

And watching these women do such meticulous and meaningful work was quite special.

It was really a way to start off the week.

I would argue that the most noteworthy element of any good Peruvian textile is the color.

It's just undeniably powerful.

And we got to see firsthand how these colors are all obtained exclusively from nature.

whether it be from a grain,

a leaf, a flower, or this moldy powder growing on a cactus leaf.

You'd never know things like that can make colors like this.

Speaking of color, I wanna talk about that because

that may have been the most important thing in my head when considering what cameras what gear to bring on this trip.

I knew I needed these colors to really pop

so you bet your bottom dollar I lugged my GFX and I don't regret one second of it.

I also carried around an XH2S just as a second body and second focal length option.

I actually mounted a beastly lens on that thing.

It was a 200 millimeter,

it was an F2, a stunning gorgeous piece of glass.

And this thing was heavy and big.

It actually injured me quite a bit.

My legs were incredibly, incredibly bruised after this week,

but the photos I got with it made it all worth it.

Next, we got to see a Peruvian Paso horse show.

It's a story of friendship and love played out by three Peruvian horses,

their riders, and this magnificent dancing queen.

I was watching all of this from my viewfinder with my jaw literally dropped.

Wow, sorry, it's hard to talk.

I busted my lip.

Oh, it looks way worse than it did this morning.

Am I okay?

Okay, we're going to make it.

We're going to make it through.

It's going to be okay.

This is a good time to just take a pause.

Okay, so we're going to take a break

because now's as good a time as ever to say thank you to the sponsor of today's video.

The lovely Dracula.

Ta-da!

Trickity track track track track club.

Now I couldn't help but notice that recently all of y'all have been talking about the music in my videos.

It seems like you're liking it and while I'd love to really just pat myself on the back for that,

I can't really take the credit, right?

Because it's really these musicians who are making good music, okay?

It's...let me tell you.

I just remember when I found Junie on Track Club,

I couldn't believe it was the first time I was hearing that voice.

I run into songs like that on Track Club

and then I get to stream them now and sing them and hum them every day.

the songs just are becoming permanently imprinted in my brain because they're so good

back to business people

to end the day we got to see salt mines this

is a hillside of about 4 500 pre-incan salt wells that that are kept up to this day,

each plot tended to by a different family.

The scale of this place gets a little more real when you see it on 200 millimeter.

I wish we could have seen this place in the sunshine and with clear blue skies,

only because the plots really do reflect what's happening up in the sky a bit.

But luckily the storm started to sort of clear up right as the sun started to set.

and we were at the top of this really kind of gorgeous valley and so

we were pretty lucky to catch the sunset here.

The next day we took a train to Aguascalientes which is the town you actually get to Machu Picchu from.

It's this storybook town nestled on a river with small bridges and cobblestone streets.

We didn't get to spend much time in this town,

but I've thought about it since getting home.

It's definitely one of those places that I would like to go back to and have a few days in.

After a twisty turny drive up this kind of wild road,

we got to see Machu Picchu for the first time.

Some of these photos are lined up for 15 minutes.

Some of these photos from the Machu Picchu site ended up being some of my favorite.

I wasn't particularly expecting that,

only because tourist sites can sometimes just be not that exciting after you've seen it so many times.

But there was something about the colors this day and the way the GFX registered them and the light.

And it wouldn't have been maybe my ideal time of day to go there and shoot,

but it ended up being absolutely stunning.

It was interesting to see when I posted these on Instagram how many people asked what film stock these were.

A digital camera with really,

really, really good dynamic range to sort of match the good dynamic range in film.

That's where you can really start to emulate that look.

The next morning we got to see Machu Picchu again,

but this time actually we hiked above it.

We hiked a mountain called Huayna Picchu.

This hike is up this really thin spine,

and it consists mainly of stairs.

Just straight stairs for quite some time.

It's really truly not for the faint of heart,

but it was worth it, that's for sure.

Also, this pup sort of latched onto our group at the entrance gate

and sort of guided us up to the top and then

100

when we got up there he just like passed out on this cliffside.

101

Ugh, this little angel.

102

We hung out at the top for a good while,

103

we had interviews to film,

104

people needed to eat and rest and enjoy the views

105

and then we finally started making our way back down

106

which was surprisingly just as challenging as the way up but just for different reasons.

107

You have to remember these steps were made for Incan people who were really,

108

really short and had really small feet.

109

So you're climbing down a really small staircase on the side of a mountain with like camera gear.

110

I was getting a little bit of vertigo going down

111

because you don't stop to like look up and

112

so I was starting to get like dizzy and lightheaded and you're up at high altitude,

113

I mean it really is quite an experience.

114

And then to just make it all the more interesting you

115

actually have to like crawl through this like black hole it looks like from afar.

116

I was like where are we,

117

what are we walking into right now?

118

This is crazy!

119

What on earth?

120

What the heck?

121

Good thing I'm not claustrophobic.

122

The next day was our last shoot day,

123

but it did not disappoint in the slightest.

124

We went to a sort of remote llama farm out in the mountains and we got to witness a really,

125

really beautiful ceremony there.

126

I'd sort of been waiting all week for my moment to be able to take some portraits and this was finally it.

127

so So

128

this whole week I was shooting amongst my team at Sunny 16.

129

So we were filming, it was a full-blown like film set with crew and talent and everything.

130

And one of the people we were with all week is actually a National Geographic photographer.

131

This is Juan.

132

So Juan, after the ceremony at the llama farm,

133

sort of starts talking to the little boy in the ceremony who we find out his name is James.

134

I sort of catch this moment happening sort of off to the side,

135

you know the ceremony is sort of broken up,

136

everyone's kind of going their own way.

137

And I see Juan and James and they sort of break away

138

and they have this like 10 minute period this really sort

139

of beautiful window of time where Juan actually let James hold his camera

140

and this is the first time James has ever held a

141

camera in his whole entire life the way these two sort

142

of like broke the ice with a camera I don't know it was all really just

143

so sweet and so special to see long live James we shot one more location

144

that afternoon and then we were straight to the airport.

145

This is a first right?

146

Yeah definitely never done this and I also really hope it doesn't start raining.

147

Same like look at this.

148

We had sort of a funny moment here where we're having to organize

149

and clean and divide all of our gear we're also downloading all of our footage

150

and photos outside just in the parking lot at the airport.

151

And just like that, we were on our plane rides home and the week was over.

152

I remember sort of getting home and sitting down and kind of being like, Whoa.

153

We just did that.

154

Pretty cool.

155

Don't you take your smile away Baby you're beautiful

156

How do I tell you I love that you're different And the moment I know

157

Is when we lay down under the moon Look to the sky,

158

cause there's a billion stars They look the same,

159

but you stay who you are Done so much and you've got far to go

160

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
