Lately I´ve been trying to really concentrate on getting the right exposure and also frame my shots more carefully.

Sea Lion

My longest lens is fixed 100mm f/2.0 (meaning I don´t have x10 zoom). To get the idea of this lens just extend your arm straigh forward and spread your fingers as far a part as you can. The view you see is the view I see with my longest lens.

Don´t get too close or these demons start spitting

To most people Galapagos is known for nature and to some for uncrowded surf. With my 100mm lens I had to use carefull aproach with animals and some imagination framing surfing shots.

100mm fills the frame

I could and maybe even should buy a 100-400mm lens for nature and sports but why do it the easy way? This isn´t so much about what gear I have but more about what can I do with the gear I have.

Sneaking up close to sea iguanas without them running away at some point wasn´t always easy. My nature photography ethics say that if the animal runs away at some point of photo session it´s not cool. These photos live up to that principle. There might be some spit on my lenses from angry iguanas. That is a border-line case in my book…

Oh, no more major post production on this blog, maybe. Cropping has never been my thing.

Breath with me

To select these I had to go thru 11 000 photos and delete some to make more space to my hard drive (which is full again).
So I hope you have to patience as well. Thanks!

This has happened to me before. The shirts I used for kickboxing could not be used outside our tatami. If I happened to wear one of those t-shirts on any other occasion I had to very careful since even the slightest of sweating would trigger a chainreaction that instantaneously made my whole shirt smell horrible.

My 3 shirts that I have used in Mexico have now reached that point. It seems I have to go shopping. Luckily I’m in San Cristobal (2100 meters/6900feet) and for the first time in months I can walk on the streets in the afternoon without breaking in to a sweat. I love the climate of this city!
