The Opera House

Quick break from posting images from Europe as I went downtown yesterday mostly to check out some places to come back another day and do some night photos. Late in the afternoon I was walking around the Performing Art Center and the Opera House, and I made some pictures of the buildings and ended up [...]
The Budapest Parliament

What can I say about Budapest? This is a place that I’d go back again and again, so many things to do and see, all full of history and magic. Here I have a photo that I took from the Buda side looking through the arches of the Fishermen’s Bastion at dusk, and you can [...]

The Phone Booth in Budapest | HDR Photo

It was my last day in Budapest, and I was shooting from the Pest side in the evening, trying to get everything I could during those few minutes of twilight, and the light was gone, so no more blue sky, at least from where I was, and with the city lights I had no more [...]

Just came back to the Hotel to post yesterday’s pictures and breakfast, I waked up at 5 am today to go and shoot early morning the Charles Bridge, and it was just great, but let me tell you…. it was freezing cold… Maybe I am in love with this city, maybe its just the fact [...]

Modern City

Here is a new HDR photo I made in my last expedition to downtown Miami at night, the picture is taken in a very modern building close to Biscayne Blvd and NE 1st Street. Looking in all directions always help to discover different angles and point of views, in this case you can’t stop looking [...]

The Rusty Garage

HDR photography, like it or not? I love it. Of course, like many others I don’t like it overdone, and I know sometimes its difficult to know where and when you are crossing the line, so my take is that if I think I went too far, then I probably did. So I always go [...]
Morning in the beach

Caribbean, coconuts, beach…. the good life.. Got this image in a recent trip to Nassau in the Bahamas, it was a quick 2 day business trip, but I brought the camera with me. With almost not opportunity to shot the first couple of days, I decided to “make and effort” and wake up early in [...]
Painting with light photography

The theme for our September monthly competition in the South Florida Camera Club (SFCC) was painting with light.

Having not idea where to start I went online for some research and inspiration, and I found [...]
HDR Photography with the iPhone

So I finally got my hands in the iPhone 4, just in time to download and install the iOS 4.1 which now includes HDR when you shoot. I was really eager to give it a try and went down the street to test it, and to be honest, I really had fun, I know I [...]

300 Miles of Desert

Found this place in the Arizona portion of Route 66, it is called Hackberry, they have an old General Store, and lots of abandoned cars and all type of memorabilia. This particular image was taken on one of the side buildings, I just loved the rusted signs. I’ll post more pictures of this place soon.
