Este pasado fin de semana tuvo lugar el último Taller Fotográfico en el Torcal de Antequera organizado conjuntamente con Fotonatura.El clima fue bueno y nos regaló un fin de semana intenso de fotografía de paisaje y naturaleza aliñado con buenas dosis de humor, charla y compañerismo. Esta edición de otoño asistieron fotógrafos de Barcelona, Madrid, Murcia, Alicante y Málaga.Espero en breve poder

Este pasado fin de semana volví de dar una charla en el Simposium EDC Natura, en Villareal (Castellón). En esta ocasión la ponencia se titulaba "RAW, el laboratorio digital". Como siempre fue muy grato poder compartir espacio y tablas con fotógrafos y amigos y agradecer a todos los que asistieron.I've just returned from Villareal in Castellon where I gave a talk for EDC Natura in their annual

We are still holding some of the heavy rains we had this past Winter in Andalucia and although is not raining, while I'm writting these lines, true is that grey clouds are menacing with some rain.It is Spring, though it doesn't look like for the lack of sun lately.The lagoon of Fuente de Piedra comes to my mind with so much water around and I'm sure this Spring is going to be just

It might sound funny or you might think I'm joking but I've seen people on my workshops to be amazed and surprised when I've showed them a magic button called "button for the previsualization of the depth of field". And I say magic because they look at me as if I was a magician or some sort of incredible man out from space. It makes me laugh because you would think that's something basic in

Here's a test with some Nikon D3s and D700 comparison shots at High ISO. Both look great cameras.Aquí una comparativa entre la Nikon D3s y la D700 a sensibilidades ISO altas. Dos grandes cámaras sin duda.

La nueva cámara Nikon D3s ha levantado una gran expectación. Seguro que para muchos una decepción, ya que esperaban una cámara con más megapíxels y con la incorporación de video HD 1080. A mí particularmente me parece una cámara muy atractiva e ideal para el fotógrafo de naturaleza. Esa capacidad para fotografiar con poca luz, la ampliación del buffer y el video HD 720 será una herramienta

In ancient times the Natural Park of el Torcal de Antequera, in the South of Spain, was covered by the ancient Tetys sea where numerous species lived in like this Ammonites. Once the sea retreated many individuals were left exposed in the form of fossils. I had the image in my mind. At dusk and with a nice sky I was sure there would be an interesting image, or at least that's what I think.

Here's a short video I've uploaded to Vimeo. Is all about shooting in el Torcal de Antequera, a wonderful karstic landscape in the heart of Andalusia. I've finally added subtitles in English... no wonder why my mother was annoyed with me as she's English, just like me....ehhrr...well, fifty-fifty (I have to please my father who's Spanish, just like me...ehhrr...well, fifty-fifty....not again!).

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow I have to shoot a prestigious and famous restaurant in Marbella, this involving the use of studio lighting, stands, tripods, battery packs and all sorts of different things. I think I'm going to spend more time riggin up all the equipment than actually shooting. Is not my cup of tea, but I have to admit that it helps to pay the bills and also is a good

The other day I got up early and drove to the Sierra de las Nieves..("Nieves" means Snow in Spanish) and I was really lucky as it rain the night before being quite chilly and that meant that up in the sierra the water was replaced by snow.Not unusual, but not very common, the high mountains close to the Mediterranean sea were covered by a white cloth of snow.Nikon D200 @ ISO 100 · Nikon 18-70 @

There's a big project involving a great bunch of talented wildlife photographers. It is called Wild Wonders of Europe and is about sharing and showing to the rest of citizens the amazing natural wonders that Europe holds. With a continent with over 700 million Europeans, no wonder if someone ask himself if there's place for nature in a such overpopulated area. The answer is "yes".We are all

Some of you might know that I'm a wildlife photographer and that I really enjoy being lost out in the wilderness even if I'm soaked in mud or in a hide for endless hours. As Frans Lanting said once: "A bad day in the field is better than a good day in the office". But essentially I enjoy taking pictures which is my Leif motive.Along my professional career I've been lucky enough to meet other

I know. I've been quiet for to long and my good mate Enrique Aguirre always encourage me to keep on with the blog. And sure I will. Have many things in mind and it doesn't give me the time to keep it up., but I think this is an urgent matter. Many of you might know about the controversial "Orphan Work" thing.

My foot is healing well but is taking much longer than I thought. Never mind I did prepare a photo shooting of some mates doing Capoeira on the beach. Carrying with the studio flashes along the beach surpassed my foot strength and it really hurt for a while. I wasn’t that comfortable but I managed to take some pictures and forgot for a while those long days of doing nothing with my plastered

I’ve been checking part of my images which are thoroughly filed in different hard disks and to be honest sometimes you get into nice surprises. Many times I’ve ended up which pictures that I didn’t even remember that I took them. It’s a good way to recall nice mementos. I only need to catch up with all those images left in the black hole and bring them to the light. One

I want to share this music video from the German Band Liquido (I think they are great). We could make a photographic analogy with this song "ordinary life" and maybe we should start producing images that gets out of the ordinary.--Quiero compartir este video musical del grupo alemán Liquido (creo que son geniales).

In these days of the world of photography when everything looks as if its going from mid grey to dark black, when many of us think the industry is going all the way down to the dungeons, some have a different point of view. Chase Jarvis is one of those photographers who contradict this theory and, better than that, he “dares” to share his knowledge and try to encourage other photographers to

Got back from a short trip to England and something it really shock me was the fact that I saw some blossomed poppies in the english field in this month of October. Something funny is going on!

Today it has been my first day of rehabilitation and you can’t imagine how happy I am to see that my foot is recovering its mobility. I never thought a fracture on a foot could take so long to cure, but at last it looks like that this valley of woe is getting to an end. Speaking about work, I’ve been working with the computer but it gets to a time when you just really get fed up of being in
