Challenge #9 - Fernando R. Diz

Hi everybody!

Sorry for the delay, but those last weeks were a bit complicated for me. In any case, here is my proposal for the challenge number 9. I hope you'll like it!

This picture was taken in Sevilla (South of Spain) during the night of the 7th of november. I didn't use a tripod.

All the best!

Challenge #8 - Fernando R. Diz

Well, first of all, I'm sorry for the delay. I hope you like my personal point of view of the topic. The title of the image is 'Happy Fall' and I would like to wish you very nice lights for this Fall.

Challenge #7 - Fernando R. Diz

First of all, I'm sorry for the delay! Here, in the South of Spain, we're living a very hard Summer (almost every day over 35ºC); so you can imagine I don't want to take pictures outside. Anyway, I did it, and I'm posting them.
This time I wanted to do something different. I selected two landscapes that I got during this month, and I used photoshop to look for the symmetry. The first one was done duplicating the image, inverting and using the effect of marine waves. Thus, the effect is like a reflect over the sea.



This second one, was done in a similar way, but in this case I duplicated the image, and inverted it horizontally. It's a typical mediterranean landscape, well, the original picture.



I hope you'll like them!!

Challenge #6 - Fernando R. Diz

This time I will post two images that I really like them.

First one is named 'Flamingos have gone'. I took this image from a window of my home. This group of flamingos flies everyday in front of my home, at the sunset (I'm lucky, I know). For me, this image is full of sense about bird migrations.



The second one, I will called it as 'I tried a portrait, but the blackbird had gone'. ;)
I was coming back from a photography session in a salt mine, when I came across a blackbird really close to me, eating a worm. I prepared the camera to try the picture, but the blackbird had gone. Well, I got this surprising image. I say 'surprising' 'cause I got surprised when I saw it in the screen of my camera.



I hope you'll enjoy them!!

Challenge #5 - Fernando R. Diz

Hi everybody!

Well, I recognise, as Pepe, that I haven't too much time to think about the challenge. This is my proposal. In any case I hope you'll enjoy it!

Challenge #4 - Fernando

Hi all! Here is my unique proposal to the challenge of 'A touch of light':

This town is where I live, its name is Puerto Real. Yesterday in the afternoon I saw this 'touch of light' over the town. I'm sorry 'cause I had some extra ideas for this challenge, but I have some technical problems with my camera. Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy it!

Challenge #3 - Fernando

Hi all!
I'm really sorry about just posting one shot for the 3th challenge, but I was really busy with a local photography award (I was awarded with the second prize !)).
The title of my proposal is 'The colour Wheel'. I was trying to catch the rainbow, but here, in Cádiz, is almost impossible from april to november (well, indeed yesterday night was the lattest rain for over a month). Thus, I painted eight concentric circles in a paper with the rainbow colours. I fixed the circle to a pinwheel and I turned it on in front of the camera. I selected a slow shutter speed and a smooth light. The result is there! I hope yu'll enjoy it!

Challenge #2 - Fernando

These both pictures are my proposals for the second challenge, I hope you'll enjoy them!

Challenge #1 - Fernando

Hi everybody!

Here is my proposal for the first challenge: As time passes by.

First image is named as 'Sundial without sun'. It was taken in Puerto Real (Southwest of Spain).

Second picture is called 'Wandering around the salt mine'. It was taken in the entrance of an old salt mine in El Puerto de Santa María (also Southwest of Spain). This salt mine has been deserted for several decades, but it seems as time has not passed by there. Even the rocking chair is still there!!

I hope you'll enjoy the pictures!
