04/09/11 Texture IVBack to texture after a short break in the previous entry.
Here again you can see how brittle some of these rock formations are. I've still got a couple more of these images still to post. I did a small study when I was there last and I think the future will bring more of these sort of images. When taking these, I get so engrossed in the making of them that time seems to fly. 1847

04/02/11 Texture IIILooking at this image I can't help feeling that the rock is covered in fur. In reality it's a very thin crust of fine sand/dust. As can be seen the rock structure is not really stable, and small avalanches can be seen at the side of the roads here (in Andalusia) after every rainfall. Road / track repair is a never ending story, and can be considered a job for life. 1984
E-PL1 Focal Length: 39 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/250 sec ISO: 200 04/01/11 Texture IIHere's number 2 in the series. Once I really started to look for these things I couldn't stop. All at once I could see texture everywhere. It was really great. Getting closer to everything is now on the agenda when I go out looking for images. More to come! 1646

03/31/11 TextureI decided to get in close to some rocks on my visit to Spain. It's really is amazing what you see when taking a telephoto lens to get in close to something. I suppose you don't really see this when you are just walking by. 1948
E-PL1 Focal Length: 45 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/200 sec ISO: 200 03/29/11 Cross ProcessingIt's not just about taking photographs and leaving them on my computer. I think I'm one of the lucky ones that also enjoy postprocessing. I'm not an expert at this by all means but sometimes I produce something I like. This is one of those times. It's a simple coversion from yesterdays image to a colour negative and a negative. Actually, I prefer them to the original image. The hills can now be seen clearly and that lone cloud at the top center. I just like it the way it is. All put together into a triptych frame. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 2044
unknown Focal Length: unknown Aperture: unknown Exposure Time: unknown ISO: unknown 03/28/11 Lone CloudThis is one image that I like. The mountain range in shadow and the one lonely cloud above. There was harsh light but I could see this hills (well they are bigger than you think) in the backgroud between two others that were totally in shadow. I like it but maybe I should have underexposed a little more.
The next two images to follow in the couple of days will show what fun it can be to play around with images like this one. I believe this to be my favourite from the trip. 2916
E-PL1 Focal Length: 63 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 1/2000 sec ISO: 160 03/27/11 Sierra Nevada, SpainI took this panorama of the Sierra Nevada mountain range from the the Al Hambra in Grananda. It was quite hazy at the time but I think it's acceptable, especially since it's the only one I have. 2747

03/26/11 Cloud Cover IIYou can actually see wherer the light is hitting the ground through the breaks in the cloud. I just find these things amazing. Again, from way above, you see things that you just don't think about when on the ground below. I just love it. 2013
E-P2 Focal Length: 17 mm Aperture: f/11.0 Exposure Time: 1/320 sec ISO: 100 03/26/11 Cloud CoverAs promised, just a couple og images of cloud cover while flying south for a couple of days. Clouds look completely different from above. They have shape and volume that you just cannot see from beneath. 1799
E-P2 Focal Length: 17 mm Aperture: f/11.0 Exposure Time: 1/500 sec ISO: 100 03/25/11 Lone TreeSpotted this lone tree growing along one of the many paths traversed to get to mountain top. Photographing this gave me a good excuse to stop and have a breather. I just like the gree against the very blue sky. What I have noticed is that a blue sky is not just a blue sky. In southern countries the blue seems to be a deeper shade of blue. I prefer it to the blue of the northern European countries. I try and take in everytime, but it impresses me again the next time I see it. 2201
