Practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect [Vince Lombardi]
Hi there! [Updated December 2010]

I'm a Nature photographer from Buenos Aires, Argentina mostly interested in Landscapes & Night Photography. I use a myriad of open source software and make all my stuff public.
I'm a positivist photographer, I try to avoid sad images. People are very rare in most of my pictures except of my family or special situations. I consider people as moving things that ruin my landscapes :)

Where to Start?
I have a lot of pics in flickr. Maybe you want to start here since they are ordered by interestingness so I guess the good ones are first... who knows? (click on the image thumbs below)

I'm an admin of the Luminous Landscapes group. We try to collect some of the best landscpes without man-made elements from flickr photographers, if you like the idea please join us!
A Night Photo:

I like to capture the night sky along with the landscape, I like shooting stars, the moon and the milky way.
And some Weather:

What I like to shoot:
Nature Landscapes
Night Landscapes (I might call them astrolandscapes)
Storms and weather related events
Infrared landscapes
Panoramas

Manfrotto Tripod 055: 728B
Several filters (most used ND400, R72IR, 830nmIR, ND8, GND, etc)

Software I use
I only use free software so you can just go and download these and experiment too.
Gimp (photo editing chief executive)
Hugin (for panoramics and perspective correction)
Enfuse Gui (to blend exposures)
NoiseWare community edition (Noise reduction)
UFRaw (Raw Processing)
QTPfsgui (HDR)
I also use Registax / DeepSkyStacker / IRIS / CombineZM
I also use several Gimp plugins and I wrote a couple of Gimp scripts myself.

"If you need a lesson in great photographic judgement (and let's face it, most of us do!) then you should take a look at Irargerich's photostream."

"Irargerich,
I admire both the breadth and depth of your work. But the best compliment I can pay you is that I learn from your work.

Roko Flanders says:
"No solo dire que es un excelente fotografo (ya que su trabajo habla por el) sino que dire que es un artista de la fotografia. Sumamente creativo e inovador. Utilizando tecnicas propias, adaptando la de tereceros o mismo a traves de las mas simples y clasicas, logra piezas de arte fotografico poco vistas.
Un gusto estar entre tus contactos y poder compartir alguna que otra salida fotografica.
