Kyrgyz Republic Mountain range near Kochkor, Oblus Naryn

The roads before the small town of Kochkor form the beginning of the large mountain ranges towards the central south of the country. You will inevitably pass through here to reach the southern regions. As you drive through towards Naryn, there are numerous opportunities to stop and take photos of the layers of the individual mountain structures with a telephoto lens.

Due to the vastness of the mountains, a telephoto lens is the right choice. Especially in the golden backlight, it is important that your ISO is not too high, because you will lose structure in the backlight anyway due to the layers. So keep your image a little darker than usual and brighten the photo later in the editing program.

There are numerous opportunities for a short stop directly on the road. So the requirements are very simple: stop wherever you like.
