Promethéus, "colui che riflette prima"; è un personaggio della mitologia greca.

Prometeo rubò il fuoco agli dei per darlo al genere umano e la sua azione, che avvenne in antitesi a Zeus ed è posta ai primordi dell'umanità, rappresenta l'origine della condizione esistenziale umana.

Eng

Prometheus, "he who reflects first"; is a character in Greek mythology.

Prometheus stole fire from the gods to give it to mankind and his action, which occurred in antithesis to Zeus and is placed at the beginning of humanity, represents the origin of the human existential condition.

A river seems like a magic thing. A moving, living part of the very earth itself. Be like a river. Be open. Flow..

Ein Fluss scheint etwas Magisches zu sein. Ein sich bewegender, lebendiger Teil der Erde selbst. Sei wie ein Fluss. Sei offen. Fließen..

Un río parece una cosa mágica. Una parte viva y en movimiento de la misma tierra. Ser como un río. Estar abierto. Fluir..

Une rivière semble être une chose magique. Une partie mouvante et vivante de la terre elle-même. Soyez comme un fleuve. Être ouvert. Couler..

She looked up at him, lost in his gaze, his eyes pierced hers like ice. He was her master and he had control of her, for now and always.

MasterClass

Taller de lightpainting que ofrecí ayer en Segorbe, con prácticas en exteriores en la Cartuja de Valldecrist de Altura. Gracias a los organizadores de la actividad: la Universitat Jaume I, dentro del programa de Imaginària - Fotografía en Primavera, así como a la Agrupación Fotográfica de Segorbe (integrado en su programa FotoMayo). Espero que os gustara la clase teórica y disfrutáseis con las prácticas en la cartuja, a pesar de la meteorología que no nos dejó explayarnos mucho en los exteriores y donde fue difícil ajustar encuadres con casi treinta cámaras... Pero lo importante es que pasamos un buen rato, probando las herramientas que nos cedió para la ocasión Herramientas LightPainting.

I’m very happy with my article in a special edition “masterclass strobist”, from the magazine Digifotopro. I won the first prize with a strobist contest (a very cool Wacom pentablet) and they asked me to write an article for this special edition. (How can I refuse ☺ ?) The article is about how I came to this image step by step.

Thanks everyone for passing by and thanks Digifotopro for the article!

I'm the featured photographer in "Photography Masterclass Magazine" this month :)

With many thanks to the above.

At yesterday's masterclass with the irish/dutch photographer, I also got a small chance to shoot the master himself.

Here lit with a small Nanlite 40x60cm gridded LED panel from above - simple but effective. But a reflector in the bottom would have made wonders ... anyway, this was just a quick'n'dirty setup during the masterclass, which is highly recommendable if you get the chance.

It got some ILFORD HP5+ grain in Capture One Pro.

Cloud

From Wikipedia,

Stratocumulus perlucidus clouds, as seen from an aircraft window.A cloud is a visible mass of droplets or frozen crystals floating in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body. A cloud is also a visible mass attracted by gravity, such as masses of material in space called interstellar clouds and nebulae. Clouds are studied in the nephology or cloud physics branch of meteorology.

On Earth the condensing substance is typically water vapor, which forms small droplets or ice crystals, typically 0.01 mm in diameter. When surrounded by billions of other droplets or crystals they become visible as clouds. Dense deep clouds exhibit a high reflectance (70% to 95%) throughout the visible range of wavelengths. They thus appear white, at least from the top. Cloud droplets tend to scatter light efficiently, so that the intensity of the solar radiation decreases with depth into the gases, hence the gray or even sometimes dark appearance at the base. Thin clouds may appear to have acquired the colour of their environment or background and clouds illuminated by non-white light, such as during sunrise or sunset, may appear coloured accordingly. In the near-infrared range, clouds look darker because the water that constitutes the cloud droplets strongly absorbs solar radiation at those wavelengths.
