Like every year (every time I hurry more) you have the Christmas greeting here.
The tree you see in the photo is an electronics kit that I have assembled myself and from which you can see the stop-motion here below:
Storm
Yesterday it all kicked off, I was watching “Vigilados: Person of Interest” (that I recommend) and I reacted late. I take out the tripod, the camera, I mount everything from the balcony of my house and started shooting (also seeing big lightning between two takes).
As I arrived late storm was moving towards Alginet, but in this you can see all the photos that has lightning in it piled with gimp.

A girl who’s starting on saxophone will bring us the soundtrack (it’s not the kind of music I like, but the girl does veeeeery well):
Merry Christmas and happy new year 2016
Musical Photos (repeat)
When I’ve posted the previous post “Musical Photos” with photos that we prepare for the book of Santa Cecilia 2015 of A.M. l’Artística de Carlet, I realized that one of the shots (which simulate a small band with new musicians), I had left to be added to the final version on of the shots, one of the background that completes the picture. After offering the appropriate apologies to Augusto for the mistake, I said I would put the corrected photo, here you have:
And to accompany this photo (now more cool, huh?) I bring you a video of the Playing for a Change, the Celebration of Cool and the Gang
And here’s the original version with tenor sax and all… hehehehe
Musical Photos
On October 19 new musicians got together with Alberto and Augusto with the mission of taking pictures of the new musicians for the libretto of Santa Cecilia.
Alberto is responsible for the “traditional” picture ended up being a photo from a very original perspective (which is ultimately where you can view in the libretto). I also asked for help from Augusto to make an idea on my head in “night” mode. The idea was that instead of looking only 4 musicians, we formed a small band, appearing several times repeated every one of us.
I must say it was late and we all had something in a hurry, so we could not risk and do it all in one take. We went and did multi-exposures (and thanks that we did well, or it would have been a disaster).
Here you have 6 shots for the first picture:
And here the first result to stack all the shots:
And the end result erasing content of some layers to avoid the ghosts and overlays lights:
Since we were there we also carry out the idea of Augusto:
This time simplest implementation for very impressive results:
Just stacking the two shots:
And the final result with a slight frame crop:
The president of the band wanted to take was around to see what’s that I was commenting to take pictures in the dark. These are all in one take and adjustment of levels only:
The tune today relays on Daniela Andrade, a girl I knew because it was part of the soundtrack of a chapter at Suits (a highly recommended TV-Show):
Pont d’en Gil
Come, now there are few of Menorca (LOL) this today, like the other day, is accompanied by a timelapse made with SONY HDR AS100VR. It is a natural stone bridge that the waiter recommended at the Chinese we ate in front of the apartment.
EXIF:
- Aperture: ƒ/4
- Camera: Canon EOS 7D
- Focal length: 12mm
- ISO: 640
- Location:
- Shutter speed: 160s
The truth is that we really did not know home.
The lighting of the bridge is of Augustus, and the front of me and the moon.
The video has some noise at the end (the little camera ISO is not so good, but it is not meant to night timelapse)
Hope you like it and i’m waiting your comments.
Macarelleta
We continue the trip to Menorca, and not just at night as man lives … here you have a panoramic Macarelleta Creek (the Macarella is right, but barely visible)
The truth is that these beaches have nothing to envy to the beaches of the islands of Thailand (and we caught closer)
EXIF:
- Camera: Canon EOS 7D
Today’s entry is short, it’s late and I do not want to tire yourself. You know, come back soon and will not tell you.
The soundtrack on the other hand comes in triplicate:
The original version:
The cover of “The Lost Fingers” I met some cracks on the “Escépticos” ETB (too bad they do not make more chapters or more programs like this)
And the cover of the cover (as they say in gomaespuma “shit yourself little parrot”)
Who gives more?
Favàritx
This week ended yesterday we broke all records in my website and facebook, so first of all … THANK YOU, and then … another photo from the trip to Menorca … until you tell me that you are already bored in the comments;-)
It’s Favàritx Lighthouse, located north of the city of Mahon. I do not think that is the last photo that I put the web from that day… I have a few and this is only the first I’ve encountered (and still was not completely dark)
EXIF:
- Camera: Canon EOS 7D
- ISO: 100
As we arrived early and had time until nightfall, other than photos, we entertained doing a time lapse that I put below … do not miss my friend Augusto skating from the middle of the video, lol.
Until next time.
Photo contest Carlet 2014
Now that the awards are public I can make public the photos submitted to the contest. From here take the opportunity to offer my congratulations to the winners (and specially to the only girl which I do not remember the name, but she has made the picture that caught my attention, with the permission of the other winners)
Since photography is an art (or so they say) is also linked to subjectivity, so everyone has his own opinion and preferences.
I’ll start with a photo you already know, since I posted one of the same series some time ago:
This is a photo of the Hermitage of San Bernat (which is the only with heptagonal plant in Europe, shit yourself little parrot!)

This is the train station of Carlet, which also has its charm within the FGV subway line 1:

I hope that instead of the awards that I didn’t won you leave a comment, no?
By the way, here also take the opportunity to offer my congratulations to the City of Carlet for the initiative and organizing the competition, because although I did not receive any prize all of us got a vest that I’m using a lot in the nights.
The tune of today’s is from PFC’s childrens singing a Bobby McFerrin song:
Cala Pregonda star trails
Not to relax, here I show you the star trail we did while dining in Cala Pregonda, a very cool beach that can only be reached by car if you have a lot of money. For the rest of us we had to walk about 25-30 minutes (with all the photographic equipment).
We were accompanied by Mayte’s cousin, Josep’s, who very kindly made us a guide but had to leave sooner than he wanted.

At the weirdos (if not geeks) you will have recognized this beach because it appears on an album by Mike Oldfield called Incantations.
At the bottom right of the picture there’s a distant light, it is the beacon of Cavalry. You will have picture if all goes well.
The musical accompaniment if you please It’s by Mike Oldfield with the song “Islands” who plays Bonnie Tyler.
You know … see you soon;-)
