Images of Nature by Kendall and Susanne Corbin



Shepherds of Chincheros, Peru: Order Code Hm-04
Date: December 5, 1982
Locale: Chincheros, Peru, South America
Photographer:  Kendall W. Corbin
Comments: These children were hidden among the sheep they were tending until the moment we stopped along the road between Cachamayo and Urubamba. The pass over the mountains at that point is about 12,500 feet above sea level, but that was no problem for these young shepherds. Within less than a minute they were lined up, and ready for their photograph to be taken.
 
Camera: Nikon EM 35 mm SLR
Lens:  Nikon Series E, F1.8, 50mm
Film: Kodachrome 64
