I took this capture of a very focused photographer who was trying to taking a shot of a lonesome swan
The trees communicate in terpenes and other volitiles only detectable with special instruments (though we also can sometimes smell the forest).
The trees are neurons in a cortex. When we walk in the woods, we are traveling through a brain, and maybe also through a mind, of sorts. What emergent properties does a stand of trees have? The trees collective thoughts are completely foreign to us.
Their conversation is mostly undetectable and very sedate to creatures that run at roughly human clock speeds. No need to be hasty.
Trees absorb sheaves of solar rays too. Many of them are also invisible until they enter the lens of a camera without its hot mirror filter. Because the camera doesn't know which light should be visible to us, it records all the photons that hit it sensor as red, green, or blue. And in this way, through technological unknowing, we obtain knowledge of the unseen.
This follows the pattern of our general experience of life. First, even the plain things going on all around us take time and sometimes extra effort to even start to observe — let alone fully understand.
Second, it is only by moving through a phase of ignorance that we can allow even what is brilliantly illuminated to enter our awareness.
The truth is not just out there, it is everywhere.

"The line_up is a paperwork series I developed in 2010 -12, the “liners” are made out of paper (Din A4) ,
oil paint and graphite, the theme are the hermetical laws of polarity and movement. There is no ending and no beginning in any direction, just an endless movement. You have the possibility to arrange the papers like you want and that makes it an endless playground for my photo-work and the eyes of the viewers."

Everybody is taking photos of the lifeless bland interior of those temples, one looking like the other. Because they've been there and need to document this somehow. Nobody will look at these shots anymore. Meta or just another one of those?

The Lettered Aracari (Pteroglossus inscriptus), photographed in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia, highlights the beauty of this colorful bird against a lush backdrop. With its striking yellow belly and vibrant bill, it presents an incredible contrast to the green tones of its environment. The photo was captured in low light, requiring careful attention to shutter speed and ISO settings. The Canon R5 paired with an 800mm f/11 lens and 1.4x extender enabled a detailed shot at 1120mm, despite the challenges.
I set the shutter speed to 1/60 of a second, almost pushing the limits of my equipment due to the dim conditions. The ISO was capped at 1600 to maintain the fine details in the shadows of the bird’s feathers without introducing too much noise. The R5’s stabilization played a crucial role, allowing me to achieve a sharp and detailed image despite the low light. This delicate balance between technical settings and respect for the bird’s natural behavior helped me capture the aracari’s magnificence in a way that truly represents the vibrant biodiversity of Colombia.

The Great Potoo (Nyctibius grandis) is a true master of camouflage, blending seamlessly into its surroundings with its bark-like plumage. This image was taken in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia, just a few blocks from the central park during an urban photo walk. Despite being in a bustling town, this nocturnal bird remained perfectly still, relying on its cryptic pattern to avoid detection. Capturing it in daylight was a rare opportunity to showcase its remarkable adaptations.
Photographed using a Canon R5 with an 800mm f/11 lens and a 1.4x extender, I set my exposure to 1/180 sec, f/16, and ISO 1600 to balance sharpness and depth of field while maintaining enough light for a well-exposed shot. The soft, diffused lighting filtering through the canopy helped bring out the intricate feather details without harsh shadows. This encounter was a reminder that incredible wildlife can thrive even in unexpected urban spaces, making conservation awareness even more essential.

Captured in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia, this image features the Straight-billed Woodcreeper (Dendroplex picus) in its natural habitat. The bird’s rich brown plumage and striking features are beautifully highlighted as it clings to the tree, showcasing its unique adaptations for climbing. The blurred background offers a soft, natural bokeh effect, allowing the bird to remain the focal point of the composition. The subject’s sharp textures are in stark contrast to the soft greenery surrounding it.
Technically, I used a Canon R5 with a long lens setup, taking full advantage of the 800mm f/11 lens with a 1.4x extender to achieve a detailed and crisp image at a distance. The lighting was soft, giving the bird’s feather patterns a smooth and natural appearance. The photo was taken at 1/180 sec to ensure sharpness and minimize motion blur, while I manually selected an ISO of 1600, balancing the need for proper exposure with the fine details in the shadowed parts of the image. The overall composition reflects my goal of capturing this bird’s natural beauty while minimizing distractions in the background.
