Shot taken in Argentina to some friends in a nearby and old refinery. First I made the flash go off to freeze and have the guys as the main subject. Then I kept the shutter open for 4 minutes (you have to consider that it was pitch dark and there was a dim light coming from the refinery behind) to capture the stars in the background. Right when I pressed the release button the aperture was f-stop 5.6 and as the time was passing through, I was gradually closing the diaphragm till it reached f-stop 22. The result was quite interesting creating sort of a photoshoped background on the main subject and you could say it was a happy accident even though expecting a good result. There’s still lots of room for experimentation with shots like this. Camera: Nikon D70 / Lens: Sygma DC 18-15mm 1:2.8 EX D / F-stop: 5.6 to 22 / Exposure time: 4mins / ISO: 200 / Focal length: 18mm

A picture of a picture of a dead rose that I took back in the day with a 35mm Canon AE-1 using Black & White film. As far as I can remember, when I shot that picture, I developed the film, then took a shot of the frame in the film, which creates a positive in the film (in the camera). Then developed the film and printed the positive which created a negative view of the image in the paper. Camera: Nikon D70 / Lens: Sygma DC 18-15mm 1:2.8 EX D / F-stop: 4.5 / Exposure time: 1/80sec  / ISO: 200 / Focal length: 40mm

Photo of a flashlight I took when I was at home in Argentina. Who knows how many years it has, but still works like a charm. Since I don’t have a macro lens I used a magnifying glass in front of the lens to get up close to the logo.
