Pep Ventosa
View allAll Photos Tagged ventosas
I haven't done a Pep Ventosa style image for a while, so when I came across this pretty little tree all decked out for Spring and standing all by itself, it seemed like a good candidate. Inspired by the style of Catalan artist Pep Ventosa, the method involves walking around a subject while taking multiple shots along the way, then merging those photos together in post processing. This image was made using all 14 shots that I took. And since it's Sliders Sunday, I've added a dollop of painterly processing as well.

Magnolia trees budding...
Taken in Pep Ventosa style - in the round. (in camera multiple exposure)
If you zoom, you can make out all the individual buds :)
I thought I should post this magnolia tree before the flowers are entirely gone. It's another "in the round" Pep Ventosa style image, an in-camera nine image multiple exposure.
I tried to find a cherry tree that was by itself but no luck - finally found this small magnolia tree alone in a park.
Una fría y ventosa noche, viajando por la península de Snaefellsnes, se observaba esta capilla iluminada a la vera del camino en lo alto de una colina. La luna reflejada en una pequeña laguna conformada un espectáculo digno de fotografiarse

A cold and windy night, traveling in the Snæfellsnes peninsula, it was noted this chapel illuminated by the side of the road on top of a hill. The moon reflected in a small lagoon formed a spectacle worthy of a photograph taken
Pequeño núcleo de población recostado en las últimas estribaciones del Macizo Oriental de Picos de Europa, en la ruta que nos acerca al Collado de Pelea, uno de los mas bellos accesos a la cara septentrional de las cumbres de Andara.
La imagen esta captada con vistas a la Peña Ventosa, escarpada roca de 1423 msnm., final de la Sierra de Peña Sagra, que cierra el Valle de Liébana por el norte, de modo que por el fondo de esa estrecha garganta discurren el rio Deva y la carretera que cruza el desfiladero de la Hermida.
Uno de los mas bellos rincones de la Liébana, que es preciso visitar con calma y siempre dispuestos a caminar por esa tierra escarpada en sus bordes y con un microclima en su interior.
Muchísimas gracias a todos los amigos de flickr por sus amables visitas, comentarios y premios a estas imágenes.

The other day, I went on a hunt for a red tree I could shoot "in the round" in the Pep Ventosa style. Found one! :)
Nine in camera multiple exposure.

The Treehouse in the woods at For-Mar Nature Preserve and Arboretum in Burton, Michigan, stands 10 feet above the ground and is entered either by stairs or via a long wheelchair-accessible ramp.
This shot is a compilation of five shots taken at slightly different angles, a technique inspired by the style of Catalan artist Pep Ventosa. I photographed it using a similar style in 2020 during summer when the trees were green and leafy, but the look is more austere when the trees are bare and the ground is snow-covered. I've included the earlier summer shot in the first comment box for any who are interested.

I took this photo in May, at a park in North Vancouver, the same day as I took my "Round Trip" image. This one is an in camera 9 image multiple exposure, using the Pep Ventosa, "in the round" technique.

It was an odd and somewhat raggedy looking little tree, but it had lots of tiny white blossoms and seemed to be a decent candidate for my second attempt at the Pep Ventosa technique. The method involves walking around a subject while taking multiple shots along the way, then merging those photos together in post processing. This image was made using nine of the 15 photos that I shot, with additional processing using various Topaz filters.

My initial attempt at this method using a room fan as subject was posted about three weeks ago, and is in the first comment.
I've been trying to get a winter shot of a tree in the Pep Ventosa "In the round" style for awhile. I tried three times before this one, and spent hours on each of them in post, but they just didn't look right to me. It's possible that trees in winter aren't suitable for that style, or it could just be me, but here is my fourth and final try. You have to find a tree that doesn't have hugely distracting things in the backgrounds.
I took this in Garry Point Park, walking around the tree as I shot it. There are about 20 images here, layered in PS, as I can only do nine in-camera multiple exposures.

Theme: Multiple Exposure
I enjoy doing the Pep Ventosa technique on trees during each season. But as we had such a long hot summer, and then suddenly it got cold and we hit winter two weeks later, it was very difficult to find a lone tree that I could walk around and was the right colour. This was the closest I could find. It's an in camera 9 image multiple exposure, walking around the tree.
I've been having a very busy week and will have a busy weekend with family, so I'm on and off this week. I'm sorry I won't have time to comment on all your images.
Zooming in can be interesting :)
Happy Friday!
Afgelopen week bezig geweest met de Pep Ventosa techniek.
De bedoeling is 10 foto's of meer maken van een object rondom en samenvoegen in fotoshop, na heel veel pogingen is dit het resultaat.
Thanks for your visit, comments and/or faves.
Zonnehoedje met de Pep Ventosa techniek, 10 opnames samengevoegd in Photoshop.

This is the Friendship Globe fountain in Dundarave, West Vancouver. It's a three ft. diameter granite globe that you can touch and spin. It's a few steps from the beach and next to the Beach House restaurant.
I decided it might be fun to do a Pep Ventosa "in the round" image of the globe. So I walked around it, and shot it from different angles. There are 11 images in this multiple exposure. You probably can't see it but there is a pier in here towards the right, and the restaurant towards the left.
I know, another Pep Ventosa style "in the round..." :) When I saw these huge azalea trees standing alone (I think that's what they are), I just had to walk around them with my camera.

The other day, I went on a hunt for another tree to try the Pep Ventosa "in the round" technique again. I went to a nearby park that I knew had a lot of trees. Many of them were quite close to each other, but I found this small one. I walked around the tree, shooting as I went, and ended up with 16 images that are all here, layered in Photoshop, to create this one image. I used my Lensbaby Velvet for this one. I have one more from that day that I may post another time :)
It's another early autumn image from late last month captured and processed using the Pep Ventosa technique. The method involves walking around a subject while taking multiple shots along the way, then merging those photos together in post processing. This image was made using 20 of the 22 photos that I shot. Two clicks on the image provides a closer look.

This pretty birch shows off good bones and fancy lace against a backdrop of White Pines on a sunny winter day. This is the same tree I presented Pep Ventosa style, a few posts back. I regard it as a friend.
Last week we went for a drive to Stanley Park. All the parking lots are closed but we were able to stop along the side of the road so that I could jump out for a few minutes here and there. I was determined to capture the cherry blossom trees. And my goal was to process them with the Pep Ventosa technique of "in the round." You may remember me doing this once before with a tree in autumn, but I wanted a more cheery image.
For those of you who don't know or don't remember this technique, here it is: You take a shot of the tree, and then move slowly around the tree taking shots all the way around till you get back to where you started. Then you layer the images in PhotoShop, with different opacities and blending modes and layer masks.
I wanted one tree alone in a field of green but ended up with several trees in the shots. Still, it made me happy that I was able to get outside and complete my challenge to myself :) I hope it cheers you up too!

It's a lawn sprinkler doing its thing, photographed with a Helios 40-2 85mm lens with 12mm extension tube and processed as a three-exposure image using the Pep Ventosa technique.
HMT & HMBT
Note: This was not full Pep Ventosa, in the sense that I didn't encircle the sprinkler, or my camera would have gotten soaked...I only shot a limited arc from behind, and ended up using only 3 of the 5 shots that I took.
I was inspired by both Andrew's www.flickr.com/photos/ajhaysom and Ali's www.flickr.com/photos/alideniese/49332439798/in/contacts/ images done with the Pep Ventosa technique. So I knew I had to try it.
It was hard for me to find a tree all alone in a big field, but while at Rathtrevor Park in Parksville, I saw this very crooked tree all alone. Unfortunately, the background wasn't good in any direction - a forest on one side, the ocean on the other, and a parking lot filled with vehicles. But I thought I'd give it a go. Standing with my camera level, I took a shot, and walking around the tree, every three or four steps, I took another shot of the tree.
When I had walked all the way around the tree, I had about 40 images. When I got home, I uploaded about 20 of them into one file in PhotoShop. Using different blend modes and layer masks, and getting rid of the vehicles and some of the forest, this is what I ended up with, after several hours of processing. I also added a texture layer. Not quite what I'd hoped for, but it was fun. I want to try again when the trees are covered in spring blossoms.

Far from the Alps, now in the Marche Apennines enjoying these views bathed in the light of sunset, on a day as crazy as yesterday in terms of weather. Clouds, then high humidity, then rain, sunshine with even higher humidity, and finally a windy and very cool evening.
Le Ragioni di un Ritorno
Lontano dalle Alpi, ora sull'appennino Marchigiano per godere di questi panorami disegnati dalla luce del tramonto.
Clima folle ieri, nuvole, con elevata umidità, poi pioggia, sole con soffoco incredibile e infine una serata ventosa e molto fresca.

The Treehouse in the woods at For-Mar Nature Preserve and Arboretum in Burton, Michigan, stands 10 feet above the ground and is entered via a long wheelchair-accessible ramp.
For this image, I stood in the same place and took 13 separate shots of the structure, moving the camera in increments horizontally across the scene, then merged the images in post processing. It's another photo inspired by the style of Catalan artist Pep Ventosa.

l'elegància de les aigues dels riarols és impactant, en aquest cas són a tocar del refugi de ventosa i clavell, parc nacional d'Aigues Tortes i Sant Maurici, agost de 2011
Well, it was right at the end of spring so just about summer. Today is in fact the first day of summer here in the great southern land, but you wouldn't know it in Melbourne. Bit cold and rainy today. The rain is desperately needed elsewhere, but I suppose we get what we get wherever we are, and with our changing climate, it'll continue on like this indefinitely. Fires and floods, cyclones and tsunamis.
Back to the tree. Walking through this park on the Kew side of the Yarra River, I was quite taken with the beauty of the yellow/orange foliage on this tall beauty. Huge tree, in fact, dominating the scene. It was crying out to be shot multiple times in the round.
Multiple exposure done completely in camera, just the way I like it! Probably too time poor (or lazy) to put these things together in post processing, which would take me forever. Better to just take the shot...over and over again.
My second attempt at using the multiple exposure method (made famous by Pep Ventosa) seen in the tree a few images back. As I couldn't find a lone tree nearby to walk around, I thought I'd try flowers.
I picked a bunch of red Geraniums from the garden and photographed them in the backyard while walking around them (actually I had to crawl around them to get the right height).
Hope you like the result, especially since I crawled in dog poo to get it!
Not an imitation of the Pep Ventosa method, but a reflection of a tree in a lake with little ripples. I flipped the image upside down and made it blue. Originally the tree was a rusty dirty brown. I thought it looked a little bit like above named effect which some of my flickr friends use with great results.
Nouvelle expérience photographique.
Cette image est la superposition de 30 photos prises autour de cet arbre.
Am 11. Dezember 2022 wehte ein starker Nordwind aus den Alpen über den Comer See und die Brianza hinweg in Richtung Poebene. Die kräftigen Böen trieben immer wieder zerzauste Wolken über den Himmel, doch wenn einmal die Sonne schien, war die Intensität des Lichts kaum zu überbieten und die Farben zeigten jene Klarheit, wie sie nur an den kürzesten Tagen des Jahres hervortritt.
Passend dazu schickte die Fondazione FS den letzten "Lario Express" der Saison von Mailand aus auf den Weg nach Como und Lecco. Gebildet war der Treno storico 96003 (Milano Centrale - Lecco) an diesem Tag aus D445 1001 und einer stilechten Garnitur aus einem Corbellini-, drei Centoporte- sowie einem Gepäckwagen - Die (fast) perfekte Illusion eines italienischen Nahverkehrszugs der späten 70er oder frühen 80er Jahre. Nur der erste Wagen tanzt mit seiner braunen Farbgebung gegenüber dem Rest in "grigio ardesia" ein bisschen aus der Reihe.
Kurz vor seinem Zielbahnhof überquert der Zug die Stahlfachwerkbrücke über die Adda, deren Oberfläche vom Wind in ein Meer aus kleinen Wellen verwandelt wurde, die das letzte Herbstlaub an den feinen Kiesstrand trugen. Der Fluss bildet hier ein kurzes Nadelöhr zwischen dem Comer See (Lario) und dem kleinen Lago di Garlate, den er auf seinem Weg nach Süden durchfließt. Jenseits der Bahnbrücke lugen der Ponte Azzone Visconti (erbaut 1336 - 1338 als Verbindung zwischen Lecco und dem Herzogtum Mailand) und die kleine Isola Viscontea mit ihrem Türmchen hervor, hoch über alldem die Bergkette der Corni di Canzo.
PS: Einen gelben Baukran am anderen Flussufer (auf Höhe des Gepäckwagens) sowie einen im Eifer des Gefechts in den Bildausschnitt gelaufenen Mitfotografen habe ich weggepixelt.
Convento de las Carmelitas, Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
Edificado en el siglo XVII para sede de una comunidad de carmelitas descalzas, se trata de una de las más originales y hermosas casonas de Cuenca. De traza absolutamente irregular, hay que distinguir en ella la parte conventual, la Casa de la Demandera y la Iglesia. Adquirido por la Diputación de Cuenca, ha sido restaurado por completo, albergando actualmente la sede del Centro de Arte Contemporáneo Fundación Antonio Pérez.
El edificio donde está instalada la Fundación en Cuenca, fue un antiguo convento de monjas carmelitas hasta 1978, cuando fue adquirido por la Diputación Provincial.
El monasterio fue fundado en Huete en 1588, por doña Juana de Guzmán, viuda de don Alonso de Coello y Ribera, señores de Villarejo de la Peñuela y, durante algunos años, condes de la Ventosa, para que pudiera ingresar en él su hija Isabel de San José, que tenía gran devoción por Santa Teresa de Jesús. Algunas de sus primeras monjas fueron enviadas por la propia Santa.
.Al quedar el edificio destruido por un incendio en 1603, las monjas abandonaron Huete y se trasladaron a Cuenca, a unas casas prestadas hasta que se levantó el edificio definitivo.
«El edificio fue diseñado hacia 1614 por fray Alberto de la Madre de Dios (Santander: 1575-Pastrana: 1635), arquitecto de la orden del Carmen descalzo, conocido por sus obras para la Corona y el duque de Lerma.
Es considerado como el introductor de las primeras formas barrocas en Castilla y dirigió los designios de la arquitectura conquense desde1613 hasta 1635, contando con el apoyo de uno de sus mecenas más importantes: el obispo Andrés Pacheco, que fue uno de los promotores de la construcción de este edificio.
Llama la atención la fachada del antiguo templo, de gran sobriedad y equilibrio. Como es habitual en las obras de fray Alberto, está estructurada por un eje de simetría que recorre la portada, la ventana que da luz al coro, el óculo y la cruz.
Un amplio frontón remata toda la estructura mientras flanqueando a la portada encontramos los escudos de los Coello de Guzmán fundadores y patronos. La espadaña, se coloca de forma transversal sobre un muro del templo.
Para encajar el edificio en el espacio disponible entre la calle y las rocas de la Hoz del Huécar, fray Alberto creó una gran estructura de piedra escalonada para soportar la capilla mayor del templo y resto de dependencias.
Para solemnizar el acceso a la iglesia dispuso una plaza en la entrada, intervención urbanística habitual en las obras del carmelita, aunque, en este caso, de reducidas dimensiones por el poco espacio disponible.
El patio es muy sencillo, parecido al de las casas nobiliarias conquenses, con columnas toscanas que soportan las clásicas vigas y zapatas de madera castellanas. Al ser un espacio que no estaba abierto al público, su austeridad se corresponde con la vida recogida que se predica en el Carmen descalzo. Es de resaltar que una de las galerías está abierta en la planta baja hacia la Hoz, constituyendo un inmejorable mirador desde el que el visitante puede disfrutar del paisaje conquense.
Built in the 17th century as the headquarters of a community of Discalced Carmelite nuns, this is one of the most original and beautiful mansions in Cuenca. With an absolutely irregular layout, it is possible to distinguish the conventual part, the Casa de la Demandera and the Church. Acquired by the Provincial Council of Cuenca, it has been completely restored and currently houses the headquarters of the Antonio Pérez Foundation Contemporary Art Centre.
The building where the Foundation is located in Cuenca was an old convent of Carmelite nuns until 1978, when it was acquired by the Provincial Council.
The monastery was founded in Huete in 1588 by Doña Juana de Guzmán, widow of Don Alonso de Coello y Ribera, lords of Villarejo de la Peñuela and, for some years, counts of la Ventosa, so that her daughter Isabel de San José, who had great devotion to Saint Teresa of Jesus, could enter it. Some of the first nuns were sent by the Saint herself.
.When the building was destroyed by a fire in 1603, the nuns left Huete and moved to Cuenca, to borrowed houses until the final building was built.
«The building was designed around 1614 by Brother Alberto de la Madre de Dios (Santander: 1575-Pastrana: 1635), architect of the Discalced Carmelite Order, known for his works for the Crown and the Duke of Lerma.
He is considered the introducer of the first Baroque forms in Castile and directed the designs of Cuenca architecture from 1613 to 1635, with the support of one of his most important patrons: Bishop Andrés Pacheco, who was one of the promoters of the construction of this building.
The façade of the old temple, of great sobriety and balance, is striking. As is usual in the works of Brother Alberto, it is structured by an axis of symmetry that runs through the doorway, the window that gives light to the choir, the oculus and the cross.
A wide pediment tops off the entire structure while flanking the doorway we find the shields of the Coello de Guzmán founders and patrons. The bell gable is placed transversally on a wall of the temple.
To fit the building into the available space between the street and the rocks of the Hoz del Huécar, Brother Alberto created a large stepped stone structure to support the main chapel of the temple and the rest of the dependencies.
To solemnize the access to the church he arranged a square at the entrance, a usual urban intervention in the works of the Carmelite, although, in this case, of reduced dimensions due to the little space available.
The patio is very simple, similar to that of the noble houses of Cuenca, with Tuscan columns that support the classic Castilian wooden beams and footings. As this is a space that was not open to the public, its austerity corresponds to the secluded life preached at the Carmen descalzo. It is worth noting that one of the galleries is open on the ground floor towards the Hoz, constituting an unbeatable viewing point from which the visitor can enjoy the landscape of Cuenca.
