“Bats Attack!”

Mexican free-tail bats.
Shot at Austin, TX., from under Congress Avenue Bridge, where this bat colony – the largest urban bat colony in North America (estimated at 1.5 million) – shows up every night from mid-March to November.

Of course they are black/brown but when I burned them with the speedlite they get that weird glow.

Exposure: 1/30 sec at f/4.0, iso 400, focal length: 99mm (1.6 crop).
Speedlite diffused pointed straight at the bats.

“A lot in my mind”

This belongs to a series of shots I did with my brother a while ago.
The idea was to capture the different shapes and effects the waves create.
No Photoshop effects.

Exposure: 1/90 at f/5.6, focal length 24mm (1.6 crop factor).
Off camera Speedlite, with diffuser (I don’t remember exact position).

BBQ at Night (Preparando el Asado)

Shot at night, hand held, manual exposure, 1/30 sec at f/4.0, focal length:35mm (1.6x), Speedlite at top left, with diffuser in a gorillapod.

The idea was to make a night shot with some sort of dramatic light and use the smoke to give some mood.

Comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated.
