I took this capture of a very focused photographer who was trying to taking a shot of a lonesome swan
La fotógrafa (o así), está prendada de la meta... metatodo y, desde la puerta del Café Doré quería fotografiar al fotógrafo que desde la calle fotografiaba a dos fotógrafos que estaban sentados debajo de sus fotografías.
Pero a la fotógrafa se le cruzó una escena que no quiso perderse (dos novios en tenso amor y un perro en tenso desamor) y cuando quiso darse cuenta la escena pretendida ya no estaba.
Así que giró la cámara hacia dentro y se encontró... con más “meta” todavía.
Esto es: la fotógrafa (o así) fotografía a los fotógrafos que posan debajo de sus fotografías mientras observan la fotografía que un fotógrafo les ha hecho desde la calle posando debajo de sus fotografías mientras la fotógrafa fotografiaba a dos novios, un perrito y medio amo.
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."

This image features the Green Ibis (Mesembrinibis cayennensis), captured in Restrepo, Meta, Colombia. Known for its iridescent green and purple feathers, the ibis stands out beautifully against the vibrant backdrop of the lush Colombian environment. The bird was perched delicately on a tree branch, where its sleek silhouette contrasted against the soft light filtering through the canopy. The calm, tranquil atmosphere of the scene was a perfect match for capturing the bird’s elegant form and reflective plumage.
In terms of technique, I used a Canon R5 with a 800mm f/11 lens and a 1.4x extender to maintain the required reach while preserving image clarity. The f/16 aperture ensured that both the bird and its environment were in focus, while the ISO 1600 helped balance the low light of the forest. The resulting sharpness and depth allow the vibrant plumage and the bird’s intricate textures to come through vividly. Capturing such a shot in the wild, with the ibis being perfectly positioned, required patience, but the payoff was worth it.

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.

Lumsdale Falls, here in Derbyshire (just outside of Matlock).
I wanted to capture something slightly different from what I would usually do!

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.

A typically delicate encounter between male & female. There is a prey item trussed up between them too, but its not visible in this shot.
Sorry Phoebe!

After work I enjoyed a leisurely stroll around Craufurdland Estate, where I met this cute little spider. I think it's a Meta species, but happy to be corrected if not.
L'unico trucco è quello che metto per non farti capire che mi fai arrossire.
E per l'inganno, nemmeno a parlarne .
P.S. Sei la mia magia riuscita meglio.
