There are nights that stay with you forever. This was one of them. Standing under a sky set ablaze by the solar winds, watching the green and purple curtains dance above the jagged peaks.

Captured with the Nikon Z8 and the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 Art, this setup allowed me to freeze the movement of the aurora while maintaining incredible detail in the stars and the snowy foreground. The f/1.8 aperture was a game-changer for keeping the ISO clean.

Technical Specs:

Camera: Nikon Z8

Lens: Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art

Settings: 14mm | f/1.8 | Shutter Speed, 2,5s | ISO 3000

The journey has begun, the boys are all pumped, the spirits are high and the passion for photography is almost boiling :D

The sunrise is glorious. It has given a magical touch to the desert ruins. Every single passing view is a treat for the eyes. We are taking stops as if we are to return from the highway lol

Y así en una sola mirada logró encontrar la paz con su interior, con su alma, ahí se dio cuenta de que su libertad estaría con la montaña, la naturaleza, su pureza, con el paisaje que logras observar más allá de las nubes, y de la luna...

Floating above Sycamore Canyon.

This weekend we travelled to Jubail, SaudiArabia. We just had one full day to see it all. Never sufficient huh

The weather was excellent. Chill sea breeze pushing everything in its way, waves gaining aggression gradually, clear sky, yachts sailing, boats cruising, and a sea not allowed for swim :-D

Sometimes it is the vast emptiness and a fine blue hour mood which makes the scene. Supplemented by subtle structures on the ground which are complemented by the cloud structures in the sky.

Saudi seas are usually quiet. I have been to Dammam, Khobar, Dhaharan, Umluj, they were all too peaceful. Al-Nakheel beach of Damam has been an exception for me.

May be due to the overcast conditions and the slightly strong winds, the Sea was making noise. I finally saw a Saudi sea with waves in years :D

Looking back at the height

==========================

Location: Naltar 3, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan

----------------------------------------------

We are descending from the high rising Naltar 3rd lake. Reaching this lake and looking at it is an adventure. My steadiness on the stupid idea of climbing a rock in the wilderness made it the adventure of a lifetime.

The hike to the lake is short but high. Coming down the hill was way easy and fun and fast lol. The air was very fresh indeed. When I climbed the rock (imagined in another post), it was wilderness at another level. The atmosphere was so unbelievably fresh, I could smell nature, raw, very :D

These red shrubs are for real. I do not apply software filters on my pictures. Just slightly improve them on lightroom. In future I will be using Nisi filters for long exposure in sun light.

This treasure from the Tabuk province can be found driving ( Highway #394 ) towards AlSharaf from Tabuk city.

(Google map: www.google.com/maps/place/Red+Sands,/@28.856578,35.214722...)

When this treasureful series started, we mostly were sleepy (not the driver, my friend in need Asghar Aamir :D ) I think I noticed this after travelling some 5-6 KMs and could hardly believe my eyes. This is a whole city of mountains, extraordinary, really, fantastic natural site, naturally crafted mountains in numbers. The whole stretch I have no idea how much long it goes, nothing less than 20 KMs for sure.

I am astonished to know this place is a no place in Saudi. No one talks about it, it is a wonderful spot to camp as well as for Landscapes and Astrography.

Primera del año con muy mal tiempo, frio y nubes.

These beams of light pierce the canyon ceiling for sometimes only a few minutes. Our guide knew where and when they occur, which changes throughout different times of the year. His knowledge helped me get some really rewarding images :)

Faces in the walls of Upper Antelope Canyon

==============

Just concluded our zuhr prayers and we are looking out from the masjid gate, at the tradtional houses. Built sometimes solely by the family man, this is heritage, culture, this worths a lot.

At Babusar top, we in fact came through a villager building one. For no reason I did not film him , other wise it would have been an interesting interview :D

Que en tu vida no haya limites, apenas si habrá unas épocas, unos espacios de transición a una realidad, a una realidad ya dibujada, pero por explorar, recorrer, y no dejar de descubrir, hasta las mas pequeñas cosas harán de tu vida una nueva experiencia.

Cloudy blue hour after sunset over Wast Water in the Lake District

Hiked the Inspiration Peak from Keys View in Joshua Tree just before sunset.
