Salar de Uyuni: perspective tips & tricks

On the first day of our 3-day trip across the Salar the Uyuni we drove out to the whitest spot we could find in the area: time to snap some of those famous perspective pictures!

Awesome!

But how to start? Our guide helped us quite a bit with making the pictures and the films. I can tell you one thing: it’s not as easy as it looks. We were lucky with his profound training, as he surely knew the best ways to frame those weird. Of course we were able to capture some of our own ideas too!

Some remarks for making pictures:

  • The iPhone for sure made the most beautiful photos
  • It can be difficult to find the focus with a regular camera
  • Bring a towel or something to put beneath you and your phone. Otherwise, before you know it everything – yes everything! – will be covered in salty crusts that leave nasty stains
  • That said, don’t wear your most precious outfit during this day, or during the trip for that matter
  • Before the trip, think of anything you might want to take with you. Toy dinosaurs are popular attributes, so are bottles, pringle boxes or other food items. Think of things that can easily stand up without support. The ‘lollipop clip’ below for example took a lot of time to create, as the lollies were very difficult to dig into the salt flats

Have a sneak peek and a bit of inspiration in here!
