Christmas on a pub

[en] Yeah, I know it's one month pass Christmas, but I couldn't post this image before, as it was submitted to a little photography contest from my village. The theme obviously was 'Christmas in the village', and I hate Christmas and I think that not considering the surroundings, our village is ugly as a pool of mud, but well, it was small so there were chances. And things went quite well. I don't think I'll post the winning picture, as sincerely I think it's not my cup of tea, but from the other two, this is the one that reached the fourth place.

edit: now that I think of it, this is the third picture in three days involving spheres. Odd, isn't it?

[es] Sí, ya sé que hace una semana de las navidades, pero no pude subir esta foto antes porque estaba enviada a un pequeño concurso de fotografía de mi pueblo. El tema obviamente era 'La Navidad en el pueblo', y yo odio la navidad y pienso que si no consideramos los alrededores nuestro pueblo es feo como un charco de barro, pero bueno, era pequeño así que había oportunidades. Y las cosas fueron bien. No creo que suba la foto con la que he ganado, porque sinceramente no me gusta un pelo, pero de las otras dos esta es la que quedó cuarta.

edit: ahora que lo pienso esta es la tercera foto en tres días que tiene que ver con esferas. ¿Qué raro, no?

(NIKON D50, f/5, 1/10 sec, focal length 40 mm, ISO 1600)

My name is David Ruiz, and I'm an amateur photographer from Madrid, Spain. I'd been running this photoblog since the 12th of may of 2006. What started like a simple way to make my photographs availiable for friends became soon enough in a curse in where I was trapped, having to post one photograph per day, no matter how. That method, besides being a curse for my health, turned to be quite funny, but also impossible to follow from time to time, when duties and lack of time sharpen their teeth. Now the basic idea is to post here a minimum of three times per week, and from there up to seven when I'm able to.
The first pictures where made with a compact Fujifilm camera. A couple of years later, I moved on to a SLR, and started using a Nikon D50. In the summer of 2008, I moved on again and started using a Canon EOS 40D, named Canita, being it now my primary (and most of times, unique) camera. I only have one lens, a Canon EF-ES 17-85 mm (though I'm starting to think in gettin a fixed 17mm as soon as I gather some money). Most of the shots are also done using a Hoya polarized filter, and recently some of them are also made through an Infrared Hoya filter.
All the pictures here are published through a Creative Commons license, thus you can use it in any way you can as long as you give me some credit (to include in the pacj a few words and a link back will always be considered gentle and nice) and don't earn money with them. For any comments or questions, feel free to use the comments form right here or drop me an e-mail to david (at) davidruiz (dot) eu.
Have a nice day and thanks for passing by; I hope you enjoyed the visit.
