[en] Though labelled as 'hdr' this shot is a quite bastardized version of a hdr shot; it's mostly an usual shot, just mixed with a quite ethereal hdr version of it.

When one travels to Galicia sometimes it happens that the weather goes mad and it starts to rain wildly. 50 km southern the sky was empty and blue, and so is in the coast, but in the middle the clouds can make their own kingdom and do whatever they please. And there I was at the back of the car thinking that the window stained with raindrops was making any shot impossible, when I just thought that the passing trees were looking quite nicely after all, in a somewhat impressionistic way.

[es] Aunque está etiquetada como 'hdr' esta foto es una versión muy bastarda de una foto hdr convencional; es básicamente una foto normal, mezclada con una versión hdr bastante etérea de la misma imagen.

Cuando uno viaja a Galicia a veces el tiempo se vuelve loco y comienza a llover en plan salvaje. A 50 kilómetros al sur el cielo está azul y despejado, y tres cuartos de lo mismo en la costa, pero ahí en medio las nubes pueden montarse su reino privado y hacer lo que les plazca. Y ahí estaba yo en la parte trasera del coche pensando que la ventana manchada de gotas de lluvia hacía imposible cualquier foto, cuando de pronto empecé a pensar que los árboles que desfilaban a nuestro lao se veían muy bien después de todo, de alguna forma un tanto impresionista.

(NIKON D50, f/10, 1/160 sec, focal length 42 mm, ISO 800)

About Close

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.

Have a nice day and thanks for passing by; I hope you enjoyed the visit.
