B IG PI C T U R E View over the Old Town, Quito What strikes a first-time visitor to the Ecuadorian capital is its geography, encircled by volcanoes and mountains. I wanted to find a view showing both the city and its surroundings, and I chose this hill one evening to capture both. Despite the overcast afternoon, I knew there should still be a good 10 minutes of twilight colour soon after the sun had set. Working on a tripod with a 80- 400mm telephoto lens, this image was shot at f/9.5, with a two-second exposure at ISO100. BEN PIPE • PHOTOGRAPHER
