"The beauty is in the eyes of which it watches."
"Art is the expression of imagination, not the duplication of reality (Henry Moore)"
There are two kinds of photographers: those who compose pictures and those who take them (Ernst Hass)
The best pictures differentiate themselves by nuances...a tiny relationship - either a harmony or a disharmony - that creates a picture" (Ernst Hass)
A picture is the expression of an impression. If the beautiful were not in us, how would we ever recognize it?" (Ernst Hass)
Much people say to me that I apply HDR in my photos. It is not certain. I apply exposure by zones. The procedure is the following one: I select different zones from the photo according to its luminosity. Once selecionada a zone I create a layer of adjustment of levels and I put to him like Luminosity fusion, with it with himself that the range of colors is not affected. I correct levels in the layer and to finish I apply Gaussian defocusing to the layer to stump the effect. As the defocusing I apply it to the mask, the identical photo that in clearness. I apply to all the zones the same and when I am satisfied with the result I fuse the layers and it already is. Mu is simple. Other they criticize skies or the colors to me very saturated. Respect all the opinions. but already I have said in some other occasion that I do not try in my photos to reflect the reality, if not to create beautiful photos, that seem pictures
Much people say that my photos seem pictures. It is the greater praise than they can do to me. When I see a landscape, me I imagine like a picture, as an art work to it. It does not interest to me to catch the reality, interests "my reality to me", the reality that I see with the eyes of my mind. Sometimes one says to me that my images are blurred, that if it is thing of the scanner. Use Leica that stops my is almost always the best machine of the world and I always scan to high resuloción in tiff. It is not a clearness problem, is that in some cases I look for the lack of clearness. The excessive clearness is good in some cases and in other no. The same it is possible to be said of the light. There are cases in that I look for the shades and in others the lights. In each case me it says the heart to it
