“She lay quietly among other flowers. As if unaware of her intense beauty, she humbly shared a crowded stand in a farm. She whispered by my ear and I turned. My eyes were filled with her regal colours as my heart halted. Her glowing face nodded at me. / / I indulged myself in the contemplation of her sheer beauty, her intricate face, her lovely petals and her delicate patterns. I wondered whether she was missing the feeling of warm damp soil, the company of foliage and the caress of misty rain”. / / / During my travels in Thailand and Cambodia, I reveled in the extraordinary and fragile beauty of the Orchid. A large-scale illegal trade and other threats decimate their environment. / / Currently, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCNR) list 100 Orchid species in status from vulnerable to critically endangered. / / / Image © Carmen Mandel-Cesáreo / / / —-—-—-—-— / Artist statement / My photographs are not enhanced; they represent the true nature and colours of the subjects as captured by the lens.

A feeding flock of Snow Geese takes flight after being scared from the cornfield at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. Often it’s a coyote that spooks them or other predators. While not equal in flock size to the morning fly out, these “fright flights” are an impressive spectacle in and of themselves.

Credit to Henri Cartier-Bresson for my title. I’ve been wanting to get an image with the wingtips just barely on the water since the first year I went to Bosque, finally this year it happened for me and I was able to capture “the decisive moment.”

This is a 15 minute exposure of star trails above one of the main pools at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. I took this when it first looked fully dark outside and I was still able to catch color from the remains of the earlier sunset. The color is as it came out of the camera with noise reduction applied. I was amazed at my luck in catching an Iridium flare! “Iridium flares”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare are brilliant glints or flares created on predictable intervals by the constellation Iridium communication satellites interacting with the sun. You can tell the hotter stars by their streak’s blue color, with cooler ones coming in more red. What amazed me is that star trails would come in this good so soon after sunset. I attribute the nearly new moon and the low light pollution of this area in New Mexico. This was taken at ISO 400 at 28mm f/2.8 utilizing long-time exposure noise reduction in camera and further selective noise reduction via Neat Image in post.

In my dream, I am hiding in this forest, so peaceful and full of magic. This is the only place where I can smell the colors. They don’t know I’m there, they would go away if they did, though I dont know why. I’m just eight years old. Why would they be afraid of me? I don’t want to find out tonight, I just want to see how they work. These fairies are the spirits of nature, they clean the air (I guess). I would love to ask them so many questions. Why can I only see them at night? It all feels so real that I am not sure it is a dream anymore.

I had scouted this spot a few weeks back in one of those early morning forays into Llovizna Park (Bolivar state, Venezuela), however most of the times I went by this spot the lighting was not right for what I wanted to achieve. / Last weekend, however, I went determined to get the shot. / I got a few sunrise images in an open field then headed to this spot. / When I got there the tones were just right, but there was too much light, so I placed the Cokin P Holder on the lens and placed a 2 stop ND, a 3 stop ND and my polarizer rotated to give max polarization on the reflected light from the water (about 1.5 stops more for a total of about 6.5 stops light reduction). This allowed me to get the 30 sec exposure I wanted at f/11. / Of course stacking the NDs and the polarizer brought problems as I could not stack all these using the slim holder, that meant I couldn’t shoot at 10mm as I had originally intended without severe vignetting (I managed to compose the image I wanted at 14mm with no vignetting), plus it became apparent that the stacked filters added a reddish/brown color cast to the image that couldn’t be compensated for using WB settings in the camera, which meant that it had to be removed later in post processing. / Still I got the shot that I was looking for and went home a happy photographer =D. Color cast removal, curves adjustments, sharpness in Photoshop CS4.
