Colorado, September 2020.
The Rocky Mountains welcomed me with a very early snowfall, at the beginning of September. I couldn't have asked for better conditions, as fresh snow covered the mountains, and the fog swallowed the forest.
Galicia, December 2021.
From a beautiful foggy morning in town.
Galicia, December 2021.
We had some lovely foggy mornings last week, and I tried to make the most of them. So much that I felt a bit relieved when I woke up this morning to a clear sky. For the first time in more than a week, I was able to enjoy my morning coffee and take it easy with breakfast. As I called it before, it's a blessing... and a curse.
A beautiful morning of photography in a very foggy town. Of course, I had to take you with me.
Galicia, December 2021.
A foggy day in town, early in the morning. A perfect day for photography!
Galicia, December 2021.
I grew up calling this bridge "The Roman Bridge". Everyone around here still calls it "The Roman Bridge". But it is not Roman at all; it was actually built in medieval times, around 500 years ago. Still old, but not that old.
Today, it's one of my favorite subjects to photograph in the fog.
Madeira, November 2021.
I guess technically a tunnel (or an arch), not a cave, but it did have the feeling of one. I went with a long exposure to make the water look as still as possible, and also to make the ocean in the background a bit less distracting. Long exposures have that ability of making even the most dramatic scenes look peaceful and calm.
I might have a replacement to my beloved 35mm f/1.4, a lens that stopped working a few weeks ago. Let's find out if it meets all my requirements to be in my camera bag!
Galicia, December 2021.
A scene I walk by many, many times. It's always beautiful, but it really comes alive when there's thick fog. And that's what I got this morning: lots and lots of fog.
Fanal, November 2021.
Trees more expressive than many humans!
La Mancha, December 2021.
Shooting the windmills from behind.
Campo de Criptana, La Mancha, December 2021.
Another image from my trip to La Mancha. Now that I find myself with quite a few images of the same subject, I understand why some artists just go for "Study number X" as the title. It's a struggle to find a unique description for each one of them! I personally don't like the word study, but I might have to come up with something soon.
Alcázar de San Juan, La Mancha, December 2021.
This is one of my favorites from the first set of rough edits of the images I made in La Mancha, where I photographed the legendary Don Quixote's windmills.
I just got back after a week photographing the legendary Don Quixote's giants: the stunning windmills of La Mancha. So many good images, so many good times. This video tries to compress several days, several mornings, several nights, of photography in 22 minutes of footage and images. Hope you enjoy it.
Fanal, Madeira, November 2021.
It's almost like the tree is trying to pull me in. At least, that's what I see when I look at this image. Another one from the magical forest of Fanal, in Madeira.
Ribeira da Janela, Madeira, November 2021.
While I spent most of time in Madeira photographing the beautiful forest of Fanal, I still managed to visit other locations and make some images of other parts of this stunning island. One of them was Ribeira da Janela and its pretty rock formations, called Illheus da Ribeira da Janela.
It is tempting to believe that a good subject will make for a good photograph. That all what need is a beautiful tree, a grand vista, or a stunning mountain peak. In this video, I want to argue that this isn’t enough. That we need to pay attention to every inch, every pixel, of our image. Otherwise, we might end up with an image that doesn’t do justice to that amazing subject.
Innsbruck, Austria, November 2019.
An image from back when I went "compact", made in the mountains surrounding beautiful Innsbruck, Austria.
Madeira, November 2021.
Not much more I can say about this magical place.
Mallos de Riglos, Aragon, October 2021.
Riglos, one of the many cool towns in the Pyrenees.
