I have not yet lost my newfound fascination for tilt shifting. I’ve been searching through my photos for more candidates as well as looking for Flickr photos with Creative Commons licenses (that means you’re legally allowed to modify and republish as long as you cite the original source) to play around with. Here [...]

Occasionally the sky does something that makes me run to get my camera. I took the last two yesterday morning. Yesterday I had to get up at sunrise to go to the doctor to have some blood taken for analysis. Not because I’m ill, but because I’m healthy. It’s been almost [...]

Just two photos that I took around town recently. The first is from a series of trees that line the street across from some now demolished houses. It’s fashionable here to link neighboring trees together through grafting. These flowers were on one of the arcs between the trees.
The second photo is right [...]

Last Thursday was a pretty sunny day. But, within an hour of shooting this video, as the sun went down, it began to rain. When I went to the window to see the storm, I saw another Alexander’s Band, just like two years ago. With the setting sun low in the sky [...]

It won’t surprise my regular readers to learn that, as soon as I learned about tilt-shift photographic effect, I immediately set about thinking of how to make a tilt-shift timelapse movie. It would be nice, of course, to be able to set up a webcam in Times Square and tilt-shift that, but, alas, I [...]

Last Sunday, my inlaws, wife, and I climbed a mountain peak that we can see from our house: El Pico de las Nieves. According to the info panel, there has been some sort of church on the mountain dedicated to the cult of the Virgin of the Snow since 1356. The peak is [...]

I took some photos just now on a grocery errand. It was so sunny when I left the building, but when I turned the corner, I found this dark looming storm cloud ready to pounce on me. If a storm pounces, does that make it cumulonimble?

As suggested, this morning, I went and took a photo of the Colindres Town Hall from more or less the same angle as the 60-year-old photo I found on the internet recently.
Not content to leave it as only a “before and after” photo, I downloaded some photo morphing software and made a little video. [...]

For some reason, the other day I thought I’d search Flickr for photos of Colindres. I, of course, am the dominant supplier of Colindres photos to the internet. But in amongst my photos of flowers and bollards, I found some nice ones from long ago, showing just how much Colindres has changed in [...]

Ever since discovering, recently, that my new DSLR camera can pick up star light, I’ve been waiting impatiently for a clear night to do a timelapse video. The sky was blue all afternoon yesterday, and was relatively clear when the sun set, so I got excited that I’d finally have a chance. Unfortunately, [...]
