I don't know if this ever happend to you, but I usually use one or two photos when I go out shooting ( usually landscapes ) I try to pick the best one, but sometimes when I go back and look at that old folder, I realize I missed other photos that now look good to me. This is one example, I just found this photo I took a while ago, I don't know why I didn't use it before but I really like it now, I feel like my editing skills have improved a bit since than so I'm guessing that could be a reason why I didn't know what to do with it before.

Have this ever happend to you ?

Last Sunday, some good friends and I did an amazing photo trip to Talpa, Jalisco. This is a still image of a short time lapse videoclip I’m working on of our way back home.

My friends thought I was crazy when I started shooting long exposure photos on the back of the truck, obviously the tripod wasn’t still enough and it was a pain to hold it for so long. Since I was only experimenting I didn’t really know what to expect. I’m quite happy with how it turned out, I will upload it soon, I hope you like it.

Tempe Town Lake during the night, one of my favorite places in the Phoenix Valley.

Couple of weeks ago I was lucky to be part of the Tempe Photowalk, it was a great day, I had a good time and met great people. I got “lost” from the group for a little while, they thought I had fallen into the lake or was kidnaped... lol ( Again, I’m sorry guys for keeping you waiting ).

I had found this spot, this is the photo that I was trying to take when everyone was looking for me, I had some problems doing my test shoots and since each train was taking forever to come I decided to keep up with the group.

I told my self I had to go back and retake this shoot, I knew exactly what I wanted, where to stand, and how long I was going to be waiting for a train. This time the lighting conditions were on my side. I like how this photo turned out, the movement, the reflection on the train and the sunset through the windows.

I’m still having some camera issues, at times some buttons won’t respond and still getting a lot of noise at low ISO, water damaged is not fun.
