Another part of the Bronx Zoo that I was very fond of is the Butterfly Garden. Butterflies are colorful and delicate, they are very nice to photograph. Outside captivity, they are hard to catch, let alone find one with very nice colo
I found out that it wasn't as easy as it seems to capture these beauties. You have to find the right angle to make sure everything, the wings in particular, remain in focus. Even at f/8, 200mm, the depth of field was so narrow, you need to stay parallel to their wings.
This was indoors with, again, very limited light. Handheld, VR on, 200mm at f/5. I would have opted for f/8 but settled on f/5 because of the slow shutter speed even at ISO 800! I didn't want to bump ISO to 1600 or else I would lose the intricate details on the wings.
What would have saved me is if I had a flash with me. Unfortuately, in my quest to lighten up my load, I left an important tool that I should always have with me.. my SB-600 flash! There were couple of times where it would have been beneficial.
I surely learned a lot from this trip. I had a long list of difficulties but overall, it turned out fine. If I can get about 10 good shots out of a thousand, that is very fine with me.
My philosophy is, pick the best, then throw out the rest. I know digital made it easy for us to take millions of pictures but what counts are the very few worth keeping. Let's keep quality alive people, and strive for the best!
Guanajuato, México, 15 de Mayo de 2012. Grafiti Poético [ Nº2 ] [ Acto Psicomágico sobre Poderes PolÃticos y Religiosos ] by #FFFFFF
¿Qué es Grafiti Poetico?
Grafiti Poetico [ GP ] es anti color, es anti estetica. Transforma el entorno psicogeográfico, apoderándose de los estereotipos tan criminalizados del Grafiti y de su "modus operandi".
Consideramos a los aromas como una herramienta artistica que pueden tambien transformar los espacios publicos con esencias aromáticas que emanan de un aerosol y que asumen un significado en el contexto de un acto poético. GP es en si mismo un artificio situacionÃsta con el que se pretende activar un lugar comun y cuestionar los lÃmites de lo social, de lo permitido y de lo legal.
Es un acto de provocación intelectual que surte efecto al generar una reacción de asombro en los que transitan, asi como de las mismas autoridades. Es una puesta en escena que a manera de ritual transforma radicalmente aquello sobre lo que es rociado alterando lo transparente, volatilizando los espacios y las dinamicas ciudadanas. GP es anti criminalización del arte en el espacio público. Es en si un acto poetico que invita a soñar, a crear no a partir de la estetica, si no a partir de los aromas y a transformar el espacio público con olores y escencias.
Otro ardid con el que esquivar el pensamiento único.
