Light and shade are fundamental elements of photography, as they play a crucial role in creating depth, contrast, and mood in an image. In photography, light refers to the amount and quality of light that falls on a subject, while shade refers to areas of the image that are not directly illuminated by the light source.
The interplay between light and shade can create dramatic effects in a photograph, from high contrast black and white images to softly lit portraits with a range of subtle shades of gray. By manipulating the light source, photographers can create different moods and emotions in their images.
The direction and intensity of the light source can also affect the way the subject is perceived in the photograph. For example, direct light from above can create harsh shadows and highlight textures, while soft, diffused light can create a more even and flattering illumination.
In addition to natural light, photographers can also use artificial light sources such as strobes, continuous lights, and reflectors to control the light and shade in their images. By understanding the basics of light and shade, photographers can create images that are not only technically proficient but also visually striking and emotionally engaging.
Coastal retreat. Tis so often true that the best days begin and end on the beach and with the company of family and loved ones those days can last a lifetime sewn deep into your heart........During these tough times with restrictions in place we each still have the power to dream and hopefully in time to be able to pursue our dreams. All it takes is a believe that they can come true and the strength and conviction to make them..A dream can make life worth living and our dreams are what can get us through even the worst of days.....
Después de varios meses sin tiempo ni ganas de editar, al fin se han dado las circunstancias para ponerme a ello. Y no una foto cualquiera, si no una foto de un lugar que se ha convertido en uno de mis favoritos. Viendo la foto comprenderéis el porqué. Otro sitio al que fui esta pasada primavera con mi amigo Juanma @juanmanuelfernandezlopez_ .
Por cierto los próximos 21, 22 y 23 de noviembre imparte un taller junto a @mikellarreabarquero (dos absolutos cracks de la fotografÃa y mejor como personas) y si se cumplen las previsiones podréis ver este espectáculo de la naturaleza en pleno otoño, la estación que mejor le sienta. Si os cuadra ni dudéis en contactar con ellos y apuntaros, lo vais a disfrutar como locos!!. Además está misma cascada tiene otro encuadre increÃble y totalmente diferente!

Spectacular clouds over Duffus Castle......
Mottes were common in Scotland the 1100s and 1200s, before they were replaced by stone castles. They were fortifications, usually consisting of a wooden keep on top of an artificial earthwork mound. Some also had an enclosed courtyard or bailey, containing additional wooden buildings, protected by a ditch and palisade.
Duffus Castle was a fortress–residence for more than 500 years, from the 1100s to the 1700s. The stone castle we see today was built in the 1300s, replacing an earlier timber fortress.
Once one of the strongest castles in Scotland, it was reduced to a decaying ruin by the time of its abandonment in 1705. But the castle remains an impressive sight, situated on a mound rising out of the flat Laich of Moray.
Field of oilseed rape at Duffus.....
Duffus Castle, near Elgin, Moray, Scotland, was a motte-and-bailey castle and was in use from c.1140 to 1705. During its occupation it underwent many alterations. The most fundamental was the destruction of the original wooden structure and its replacement with one of stone. At the time of its establishment, it was one of the most secure fortifications in Scotland. At the death of the 2nd Lord Duffus in 1705, the castle had become totally unsuitable as a dwelling and so was abandoned.

Allá por septiembre del año pasado aún estaban los bosques primaverales. Asà que como habÃa llovido bastante esa semana nos embarcamos @juanmanuelfernandezlopez_ @mikellarreabarquero y yo mismo en una pequeña aventura. Además, como sabréis, imparten talleres por esa zona que pocos conocen tan bien.

Shot on Sony RX0M2. I was pleasantly surprised, by this one inch sensor. very happy with results, and great colour science. I also held a Formatt Hitech Firecrest Polariser in front to help bring out the colours.
A stroll around Burghead Harbour today, always provides the opportunity to capture something different!
Quizás una de las zonas que más me ha sorprendido de los valles pasiegos, por su esplendor. Sin duda de los lugares más frondosos, verdes y vibrantes del lugar. A ver si vuelve a llover pronto y volvemos a perdernos por algún bosque mágico en busca de nuevos lugares, eh @juanmanuelfernandezlopez_ ?

St Peter's Kirk stands south of the road leading to Gordonstoun School about a quarter of a mile east of the village of Duffus. It is sometimes referred to as St Peter's Church; as Duffus Old Parish Church; as Duffus Old Kirk; or just as Peter Kirk.
You approach St Peter's Kirk along a grassy lane that runs south from the minor road from Duffus. There is space to park on the north side of the road without causing an obstruction, or you can walk from Duffus. A sign on the inner gate tells visitors where the key to the church is is kept, though access around and views into the church are so good that many visitors probably choose to do without.
