Bats Attack!
“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.

Small Cascade
“Small cascade”
Exposure: 5 sec. at f/29 (I know f/29 sound strange but that’s what the metadata says), focal length 30mm (1.6 sensor).
Shot on a tripod with available light.
BBQ at Night
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.

The Bayou
“When the Allen brothers founded Houston in 1836, they established the town at the confluence of Buffalo and White Oak Bayous. Shortly thereafter, every structure in the new settlement flooded”. (more…)
Me & My Friends
I submitted this image to JPG Magazine for their theme titled “Growing up”.
I got more than 80 votes and I truly thought that I was going to get it published but I guess it’ wasn’t good enough.
Anyway, they left me a lot of positive comments and also set it as a favorite 55 times which made me really happy.
This is a candid snapshot. The children didn’t know I was there (except the one covering her eyes).
Taken with a 10mm fisheye lens, 1/125 sec at f/2.8, iso 100, Speedlite bounced to ceiling.
Color-processed to black and white.
Inverted Dome
This structure is a part of the expansion project at the Texas Capitol Building in Austin, TX.
