But don't worry Edu,

jump, jump, jump...

Montserrat i el paller de tot l'any

Early lights from this saturday morning.

Well... and a little bit of photoshop massage.


Katie is helping me to grow as a photographer, I take many good ideas from her blog (I will do one day my own version of the firecamp sparks under the stars). So I'm glad to explain what I modified here from my original picture:
1.- Increased the contrast of montserrat, the mountain at the end of the image and it's sourounding sky.
2.- Increase the lightnes of the whole mountain in the middle (paller de tot l'any) with all it's beautifull oak trees.
3.- Give light to the rocks in the middle term by increasing its saturation. This gives the sense that the sun is warming them. In fact the sun was doing so but at the capture of my picture a cloud decided to hide the sun, that means I'm not cheeting, I'm just reproducing artificially what I really saw.
4.- A little bit of 'sharpening'.

Fire and the Pirinees

There is something magic on fire that atract us. If it's cold outside, you feel the warm radiation, you smell it's smoke and your eyes get lost in it's sparkles no one needs to tell you, you know that fire is magic.

The picture is from last spring. I hope this spring I can climb a mountain with the nice snow conditions as they were last year.

Snow in La Mola

The 7th of January I went for a walk close to La Mola. Snow it's not common in this area.

What's so flamable into the orange peel?

My father in law was challenging me about the low precision of my compact camera to capture a precise moment. Certainly the G10 it's not as fast as my 350 were the instant I push the button it takes the picture, but it's not as bad as my old S60. You can see it here were I captured the precise moment were I squize the peel of an orange into a candle.

Welcom 2009

New Year celebration seen from room 105 of Hostal Pey

The church in the image is Sant Joan de Boí, build during XI and XII centuries.

I've seen the light, I'm born again.

This is my oficial certificate of ordination from the church of the latter-day dude.


Last saturday I saw the big levowsky and turned it to be a mistical revelation, a message from the universe to me.

After some web browsing and aknowledging the grate philosophers that are included in dudeism, like Lao Tzu, Kurt Vonnegut, Ghandi and Snoopy himself I decided to fully embrace this, my new religion.


Peace for all of you dudes,

And take it easy ;-)

The moon, Jupiter and Venus

This picture was taken the 1st of December. That day, when I quit the office I saw this strange configuration between the moon and two planets.

It has taken me time to upload the picture because I'm not happy with it, I feel I could do mutch better. I should have taken several exposures with many lighting conditions, then at home get the best of each part of the image: A well exposed moon, brighter lights from the mountains at the end and perhaps a better first term. Ok, ok, I know that for many people combining pictures is cheeting, but what can I say, I like it.

Slurp seems to say this dragonfly

Picture taken the 23rd of November. After a freezing week this beatifull insect seem to have lost its strenght and has fallen into the river. She was luky we were there to rescue her. We were also luky as in summer you don't convice them soo easily to pose.

lips and teeth

Playing with the macro.

Clowds, oaks and a house

This are the fields were Siamara, Brunet, Zalamero, Llampeg and Taquetes run free. They are not afraid of loosing their jobs, they don't care about the climate change or even loosing all their money. They are free, really free.

Brunet

Not a good day to be a free horse. Brunet under the rain begs for some food. He may wish to have a warm stall with regular food, but freedom has a price.

Don't get comfortable, make sure that you too pay the fee!
