I have been thinking a lot about sharing with you my workflow when I edit with Darktable software, so going through my photo archive I found a couple of quite interesting images and I liked them to make a video demonstrating the editing work.

To make the video not so long I only edited one of the two pictures and I don't talk in the video because that's what usually makes me take more time to do the editing, I hope you like it.

About the pictures they were taken a couple of months ago but I've been saving them as always, waiting for the right moment to show them to the community, see you.

So, today I went for a walk again in the morning, the weather was nice and the sky was cloudy, so it seemed like a good idea to go out and take pictures in the park once again, although after thinking about it for a while I decided that I would concentrate more on video than photography, to take advantage of the soft light since I don't have filters like ND or CPL for my 55-250 zoom lens, I'm always thinking about taking advantage of the conditions around me.

I brought my tripod and my external microphone, which to be honest does a fantastic job when it comes to recording audio outdoors, I have connected this same microphone to the pc and the truth is that I don't like its sound, but on the Canon M50 Mark II I really love it, it's the Boya mm1, and even though I like its sound, to make these recordings it still lacks more capacity, well maybe it has it, but most of the shots were made at 250mm, and I have the audio recording in manual to avoid recording the sound in automatic, also the video settings were also all in manual even the focus, it was a good experience to make this video.

In spite of not wanting to take pictures I couldn't resist taking two of them, because photography has more detail than videos and I wanted to have the record for my personal file, so here I present those two pictures, I hope you liked this tour, soon I will go to other areas where I have already located some nests and I know that other types of birds live there, I even found out that there is a place where there are many birds that I have never seen, but I need an invitation to enter because it is a private area as far as I know, when everything is ready I will share them with you.

It's still too hot in the city but I tried to get out early in the morning to take some pictures and videos, and today I want to share with you a little bit of it. On this occasion I found a heron that I have not identified, but it was so focused on feeding that it forgot about me, ignored me completely and let me get close enough to take the picture and video, which I hope you enjoy.

Unfortunately I didn't have the zoom lens with me to make a better video, and I didn't have the tripod to have a more stable shot, besides the sunlight was against me and I couldn't get something better, even so I think it was a good experience that relaxed me and filled me with satisfaction for the simple fact of having contact with nature.

I have already mentioned on several occasions that there is a very special park for me, it has given me moments of tranquility and joy, besides being a space where I can keep doing photography and video when I need it, yesterday I was back in the park, during the day it was very hot and I decided to spend the afternoon under the shade of the trees, it was the best decision of the day, even the clouds covered the sun and the park became even cooler.

I consider myself a photographer, maybe not the best but still I keep doing it because it is something I am passionate about, and portraying birds is always a challenge that although it can be difficult I like to do, my knowledge about species can be limited, especially because there are many species in the park but most of them are ducks and geese, doves and herons, so here I leave you a small collection of the pictures I took yesterday, of course with a little more artistic touch than documentary but surely you all know these birds.

I even made a video for you to know the place, I did not speak so you could hear the sound of nature, and although the quality may not be the best because I recorded the video with the mobile, the truth is that I am sure you will like the place, and I am already thinking of returning to make a better worked video, as I have the necessary equipment to do better, as for example the audio can be greatly improved using the external microphone, so leave in the comments if you would like to see a second video about the place.

Thanks for watching the post see you in the next one.

It's been a long time since I've participated in photo contests, so I really have no idea if my entry will be well received or not, even so I want to share with you this place called Aticama which is located in San Blas Nayarit, a few days ago I had family visit, so one of the places I took them was to this place and the truth is that I loved it and I am determined to return with all my gear since this day I was actually traveling light, without tripod and all my available lenses.

My plan is to go back and sleep there, that way I could capture the sunset and sunrise the next day, so I am looking for a good place where I can stay without spending so much money, most places are available with prices starting at $50 a night, not very expensive but not cheap either, plus I have to add the other expenses like food, gas for the car, highways and drinks, lots of drinks because it is very hot and I get dehydrated easily.

In fact I am going to leave you a short video about the place, it was recorded with the camera of my smartphone so the quality is not so good and the audio is not the best either because I didn't have the external microphone that I normally use, but I hope you like the place.

The truth is that it is a very beautiful place, somewhat noisy by the sound of the sea, the people walking by, the happy people in the restaurants eating and drinking, the musicians who come to play live Mexican music, etc, is a place full of life and it shows in the video, finally I show you some of the pictures I took at the site.

And now comes the good part, taking advantage of the pictures I took I decided to make a panoramic photograph, it has a size of 12128X3892 px, I hope you like it and hopefully the next time I go I can make a exposure stacking using the tripod, well depending on the time I take the pictures, see you soon.

I don't think we can handle this kind of resolution yet, so I leave you the screenshot so you can see that the size of the picture is real.

Todos tenemos la opción de crear mejores fotografías haciendo uso de las técnicas que se han utilizado desde hace mucho tiempo para obtener mejores resultados en cada toma, el día de ayer que estuve en la playa decidí hacer una serie de fotografías para poder crear este contenido que presento en este video.

Un punto a tener en cuenta es que no hablé sobre el uso de la opción remover fantasma dentro de Lightroom al crear el HDR para no hacer más largo el video, además de que creo que es mejor mostrarlo en otro video mejor planeado, así que a continuación les dejo la foto sin la opción "remover fantasmas" y que fue la imagen de todo el video.

Y a continuación les dejo la fotografía con la opción "remover fantasma" activada en la que podemos ver que el resultado es mucho mejor, aún así siempre hay que tener cuidado con el viento al momento de hacer este tipo de fotografías porque estamos utilizando varias imágenes y mientras más fotografías uses, mayor será la posibilidad de encontrar errores por el movimiento de los objetos, aunque en verdad creo que Lightroom hizo un excelente trabajo con el archivo.

Fotografía sin Fantasmas en la palma.

En fin, esto sería todo gracias por acompañarme y te invito a experimentar con tu cámara o tu teléfono celular, como les digo, también pueden hacer HDR con el móvil, pero hay que tener en cuenta que si se abusa de estos ajustes podríamos crear una imagen demasiado irreal que al final podría terminar creando una sensación de falso que no deseamos al mostrar una fotografía, solo falta experimentar, nos vemos.

La verdad es que este video es algo sencillo, simplemente quiero mostrar mi nuevo disco para mi PC, un SSD de 240 Gb que me va a permitir continuar trabajando en mis proyectos personales ya que anteriormente estuve teniendo problemas con Ubuntu en el disco duro en el que lo había instalado, por lo que he podido ver Linux en el SSD funciona de maravilla y eso me gusta porque no pierdo tiempo esperando a que los programas carguen o incluso el propio sistema.

Así que en este momento cuento con dos SSD de 240 Gb, uno para windows y otro para Linux que al tenerlo en el case como un disco externo, también significa que es portable y lo puedo llevar conmigo a donde vaya, obviamente una laptop sería algo mejor pero es un gasto que aún no decido hacer.

Por el momento el SSD me costó menos de $400 pesos mexicanos, que vienen siendo aproximandamente 21 dólares, creo que fue una buena inversión y sobre todo que me ayudará a trabajar más cómomo todos los días.

Whats up guys, first of all I want to offer an apology because I recorded the video in Spanish because it is much easier for me this way and I had thought about adding the subtitles in the video, unfortunately due to time and work issues it is not possible for me to do this task right now and I really wanted you to have the opportunity to see this beauty before more time goes by.

In the video I talked about the mix that I use, a 90% mineral and 10% organic soil, I talk about the materials such as pumice stone, tezontle which is lava rock, and worm humus which contributes 10% organic to the mix.

Since early in the morning I was waiting for the flower to open and it did it in a spectacular way, the following pictures were taken during the day so as not to lose detail, I leave them below for you to enjoy.

In the video I also talked about that I had contacted a person to pollinate the Ariocarpus, unfortunately by the time he arrived from work the flowers of his Ariocarpus had already closed and today they didn't open, it is a real shame that this happened, but hopefully next year I will have more specimens in flowering stage.

I also mentioned that I do a monthly fertilization with potassium and phosphorus, and almost nothing of nitrogen, in the next video I will show you the chemical I use and the quantities I use, regarding the mix I mentioned that with a good substrate we shouldn't be afraid that our plants will die because of excess of humidity, for example my ariocarpus was two months exposed to the constant rain of the season, but the sun and the wind, in addition to the good substrate, didn't allow the water to stagnate, my Ariocarpus was happy, you already saw it in its flowering.

I forgot to mention that I have also added construction lime to the mix, I hope to talk about that in the next video, I hope you enjoyed it and as we agreed @nikv and @ewkaw I mention you so you don't miss this show.

La verdad es que visité este lugar hace un par de semanas, pero por diferentes motivos no había tenido tiempo ni de editar el video ni las fotografías, he tenido trabajo y también algo de pereza para ser sincero jaja, sin embargo hoy decidí que era tiempo de compartir este contenido con ustedes y espero que lo disfruten.

El lugar se llama el Agua Caliente, se encuentra a las afueras de la ciudad de Tepic en el Estado de Nayarit, México, me tomá casi 30 minutos poder llegar al sitio desde mi casa, no es que esté lejos en distancia ya que tan solo se encuentra a 13 kilómetros desde mi hogar, el problema es que hay que salir de la ciudad y navegar entre el tráfico de todos los días.

En fin, espero poder regresar al lugar mejor preparado para poder crear un bonito video del sitio, mucho mas estable y con una calidad superior ya que este video lo tomé con mi teléfono celular y la calidad no es la misma que si hubiera hecho el video con la Canon M50, es un trabajo bastante difícil para mí porque en realidad lo que prefiero hacer es fotografía, pero recuerdo que tengo suficientes accesorios para poder crear algo más profesional con el micrófono externo por ejemplo, que incrementa la calidad del audio de una manera espectacular, también tengo el trípode para hacer un video mucho mas estable e incluso tengo también un pequeño estabilizador, el problema con el es que la ultima vez que revisé no embonaba bien en mi M50 pero sí lo hacia en la Canon T6, la cual ya no tengo porque la vendí.

Pero bueno, tan pronto tenga el nuevo contendido lo compartiré con ustedes y el mundo, así que nos vemos en el próximo post.
