Some pictures I took in Gustorf’s forest in one of our morning walks. I think they show how freaking cold it is in winter in Germany.
And a couple of picture I took of my friend Estefania in Barcelona a couple of days before I moved to Germany.
This serie of pictures where taken on the 4th of January 2009 in Barcelona’s harbor, Spain.
This is my version 2.0 of this picture. I took a similar one some months ago with my 18-55mm zoom. This one has been taken with the nikkor AI 50mm F1.8 and it shows a MUCH better quality

And a couple of pictures of Naru:
I have taken some pictures of my Harry Potter villains figures, for those of you who celebrate Halloween.
Voldemort, a.k.a. Voldy, who lost his wand long ago 
His faithful dementor, sucking souls since 2004

This are mine:
Wherever you go….
Rain and coldeness are finally here, to my complete amusement! This means I need to buy a waterproof body protection for my camera and get out in the rain to make nice new pictures!
Meanwhile I want to show you some of my favourites pictures I have taken to the date. Enjoy!
This one, by the way, was the first picture I took with my actual DSRL
This is a set of pictures I took of my best friend Estefanía. Neither her or me smoke but we wanted to try taking some shoots involving cigarretes and smoke, and it is not very easy to find models at 3am being at home, so we made the efford and smoked one for these pictures… This is what happens when inspiration comes at weird places and timing.
This picture has a bit of story behind it. I am usually VERY shy when it comes to shooting at strangers… but this time I had to do it! The problem was that I was packed with grocery bags and my camera was on my backpack. So I had less than a minute to get my camera, set the speed ( I dont have a manual photometer still), compose, focus and shoot without the guy realising.
All in all i am proud of the result.
And also this is an example of why I ALWAYS carry my camera on me. The oportunities you let pass if you don’t do it!
Today I got my new lense, a Nikkor AI 50mm F1.8. Oldschool!! It is totally made of awesome, metallic, completly manual. You get a very different feeling than with the current plastic automatic lenses…
I don’t have a manual photometer, yet, so I did some first shootings setting the speed by my instinct and some failed pictures.
This set is nothing espectacular, it’s a bit of a first test to see how well it works by day and night. All pictures were taken at F1.8, no flash or tripod used in any of them. I think it is pretty sharp in the focus point though it tend to deform the image a bit on the borders. What do you think?
Also, the darkest picture was taken at a speed of 1/30 F1.8. That is fast!
Here we go:
You can clearly see what I mean by deformed on the borders in this one:
All in all I am very happy with my purchase and I certanly recommend that everyone who wants to be a bit serious with their photography get a very luminous and fast lense, under F2.
All this photos were shot on the same day, on my way from work to home. All settings and focus manual.
If there is any picture you want to buy not featured in the site contact me and I will upload it.
