Are photos created or discovered?

One thing I love about mobile phones is that you always have a good camera with you. Which is great as you never know when you will need it and often times you only have one chance for the shot.

Sometimes you can plan and craft the details to create a photo. Other times the photo is already there, just waiting to be taken.

Six Views of Mount Fuji

 

Almost a month ago I took these (and many more) photos of Mt Fuji, just seventeen kilometers away from it. One of the few times I wished I had a better camera and a proper tripod with me (I stopped lugging a tripod with me as I used to ten years ago). Which means that the tripod in one of the photos above is not mine, it belongs to a japanase photographer with way better gear than me who was there patiently taking photos. I wish I knew how his photos came out. Despite the language barrier we exchanged a few smiles and head vows as we both had Canon cameras. I guess there is always a chance that the internet will make its magic and connect us.

Zoologischer Garten

 

A few photos from a walk this past weekend. Zoologischer Garten is a busy train station, but somehow there were a couple of quiet platforms and plenty of empty space, so I got a handful of nice photos which will be dutifully posted in IG at some point in the future.

Fotos que cualquiera puede hacer

Si tienes el ojo fotográfico medianamente entrenado, hay veces que basta con dar un paseo llevando un móvil para sacar un puñado de fotos razonablemente buenas. Que es justamente lo que hice cuando estuve en Alcalá a principios de diciembre (que no en Navidad). Ni siquiera eran paseos propiamente fotográficos, sino más bien fotos sacadas a toda prisa prácticamente al pasar.

Estas son algunas de las que he ido publicando en IG.

Calle Mayor

 Rescato una foto antigua de hace un par de años de la Calla Mayor con un puntito de nostalgia.

Flashback

Descorchón

Squirrel (i)

This was the squirrel that was in the cat´s mind. But the photo was taken before I noticed the cat.

Intact love and in takt step

Old churches

During our holidays we had the opportunity to have a look at an church organ. Our daughter was even allowed to put to practice her piano lessons!

While looking for the church we ended up in another one in the same village with some amazing wooden banks. In fact the whole church was amazingly decorated, definitely not what I expected in a small village at the foot of the Alps.

The Spirit of Ecstasy

"Strive for perfection on everything you do" Sir Henry Royce

Just by chance I was wearing a polo shirt from work when we went to visit BMW Welt. I got to talk to one of the guys who are there to make sure nobody puts his hands on these pretty expensive examples of British engineering (albeit BMW owned). After a while he nodded to a colleague and we were given the chance to enter the glass barrier, where we were given a thorough tour of this Phantom II. We were allowed to sit down inside (me and my wife hoping that the children don´t break anything in the back seats!) and, to top it up, the guy took a couple of family photos.

I made it clear that I don´t work for the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars (in which case I would not have been as impressed by the car), but rather for the aerospace sibling. Maybe they thought I was an executive coming from Goodwood to check the courtesy standards!

Whatever the case, it was highly enjoyable.

Picking up your car with style

Hats off to BMW for a truly impressive place to pick up your car (not mine!).

Sydney

On the way back I asked for a window seat, hoping to have another chance at the Opera House in Sydney. As a bonus I also got the closing photo of this series (tomorrow).
