Flowers

My mother in law asked for some photos for the wall as Christmas present and Marta and I decided that some flowers would suit. What do you think of these?

Going Home

After a complete weekend at home, the only time I went out was to take Miguel to the hospital, the short week has started. It is now time to pack and on Wednesday we will drive down to Spain. We will stop one day in Laredo, at my parents, and then drive to Coruña, to the in laws. We will stay one month in Coruña and then drive back to Laredo where we will spend another month.

I will have some time for photography during the next months, but I don't know how much access to internet I will have in Coruña. In Laredo it will be no problem. So, it might take a while until I can post again, but I hope I will get some nice images that make the wait worth.

The panorama above was taken in Laredo and it is made out of 7 images. I hope I can repeat it again soon with a more colorful sky.

Until then, I leave you with a couple of roses from the balcony taken with the G10 during the weekend. As usual lately they do not have much postprocessing since time is scarce.

Still alive

I am still alive and shooting, I just don't have too much time for processing and posting. I guess I will be able to use the post title many times in the near futuro. Yesterday I went to the Eifel with a friend and on the way back we stopped by the power plants and open mines in Grevenbroich. We ended up with quite a few pictures, so stay tuned.

In the meantime I continue testing the G10. I love what the "litte" monster can do for macro flower shots.



It can also deliver quite proper photos under good light.



I carry it with me all the time now and I guess soon I will get the chance to test it under not so good conditions.

g10

Yesterday I bit the bullet and bought a Canon g10. I had been thinking about it for quite a while and the planned diving trip in October just made me decide. I will buy an underwater housing and an underwater strobe. I will try to learn a bit of underwater photography during the summer vacation in Spain.

Anyway, after the first tests with the camera I could not be happier. I took a couple of sunset pictures yesterday and there is almost no noise. Since I shot raw I could recover lots of detail from the shadows. Today I took some flower pictures taking the advantage of the high depth of field that the small sensor provides. I love the color and detail and I think I will be taking the camera with me everyday.
