My Brother's Car - BMW 320iA

Friday, February 12, 2010

I drove a BMW when I went in Germany, which is normal considering that taxis are Mercedes-Benz and they make also Porshe, Audi and Volkswagen...

My brother has BMW 320iA. It's a convertible car without a spare wheel. The BMW has run-flat tires that are designed to resist the effects of deflation when punctured and to enable the vehicle to continue to bedriven 100 miles at 55 mph (or 160 km at 90 km/h).

Of course, if I could choose a brand, for sure I would choose a German car, since even the cheapest brand (Volkswagen) uses a lot of technology to build cars, for example:

BlueMotion. "To us, efficiency means lowering fuel consumption, cutting C02 emissions and saving you money"
DSG. Direct Shift Gearbox
Lane Assist. A camera in the windshield that spots the white lines on the side of the road, and physically steers the car for you.
ACC. Automatic distance control.
Park Assistt. It’s nice if you can park well. Only it’s even nicer if you don’t have to do it yourself! HA HA HA!

You can see this features, all together, in the video Volkswagen - Das Auto

Finally, the HDR image of my Brother's BMW:

I took this picture with my old Canon S5 and this imagen is one of my first HDR.

Formato RAW

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Te has puesto a pensar en que ocurrió con el rollo fotográfico, el negativo, y el revelado de fotografías en un cuarto oscuro con la aparición de las cámaras digitales? Ahora todo es más fácil, obtenemos directamente las fotografías en formato de imagen JPG, las descargamos directamente en nuestro laptop y finalmente mandamos a imprimir algunas de ellas (a veces)…

A pesar de lo anterior algunas cámaras digitales tienen la capacidad de crear un archivo en formato RAW, que corresponde a un archivo digital que contiene todos los datos de la imagen captados por el sensor digital de la cámara.

Se puede decir que el Formato RAW corresponde al negativo digital, que podría ser revelado en un “cuarto oscuro digital” como Photoshop Lightroom. Por ejemplo un archivo RAW no tiene ajustado el equilibrio de blancos, posee la información si modificar de contraste y saturación lo que permitirá un mejor control sobre la imagen final que crearemos, ya sea ajuntando los temperatura de color, equilibro de blancos y contraste. Lo anterior queda muy limitado al tratar de editar una imagen JPG porque la cámara ya a aplicado los ajusten anteriormente mencionados en base a los settings seleccionados.

Utilizando Photoshop Lightroom o Camera Raw podríamos manipular digitalmente un archivo RAW,con la finalidad de obtener 3 imágenes con distinta exposición, y así formar una imagen HDR a partir de una sola imagen en formato RAW.

La siguiente imagen HDR de Seattle fue creada apartir de una sola imagen en formato RAW.

Espero publicar pronto el tutorial de como crear una imagen HDR a partir de un archivo RAW...

Increíblemente la foto original subida a Flickr ocupa el 3 lugar dentro de las favoritas de la gente.... supongo que debe ser por la genialidad del caos representada en la foto...

Valparaíso, 1 of the Top 10 cities to visit in 2010

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

"A charming town, where Chilean socialist Pablo Neruda hid in the late 1940s when Communism was outlawed. 2010 will mark the 40th anniversary of Chile’s first democratically-elected socialist head of state, Salvador Allende.

Valparaiso offers a fairly unique South American experience, with painted houses sitting on hills leading down to a huge bay, with old elevators taking you up and down the city's steep slopes."

Esa fue la descripción publicada por TimesOnline el pasado 25 de Noviembre en el articulo llamado "The Top 10 cities to visit in 2010".

A mi parecer una descripción demasiado política, pero que destaca a nuestro mundialmente conocido Poeta Pablo Neruda. La Sebastiana, la casa de Pablo Neruda ubicada en el Cerro Bellavista de Valparaíso, es una parada imperdible!!! Personalmente creo haber visitado este museo unas 3 veces, además de haber visitado la Chascona en Santiago y la increíble casa de Isla Negra.

Los Ascensores y las coloridas casas están repartidas por todo Valparaíso, pero lejos mi lugar favorito son los paseos y rincones de Cerros Alegre y Concepción. El paseo Atkinson, Gervasoni & Yugoslavo ofrecen una hermosa vista del la bahía de Valparaíso.

Cafe Brighton, Valparaíso

The Brighton has a popular cafe on the first floor with two terrace patios that seem to hang over the city; it's mesmerizing and encourages you to linger long after you've finished breakfast. Este Café esta ubicado en El paseo Atkinson y su llamativo color amarillo resalta al borde del Cerro Concepción.

Ex-prison of Valparaíso

Monday, November 23, 2009

I arrived to Valparaíso in the same years that the prison permanently opened its cells and closed its doors (1999). The Ex-prison is located in the Cerro Cárcel of Valparaíso (Valpo), near to the olds cemeteries of the city.

Today, only to reopen as a public park and art museum, the ex-prision is in very bad condition, you can only visit the exterior, the cells and building are closed. I'm sure that this picture is the last that I can take inside of the principal building.

The loneliness is the only friend of the rusty metal and of the walls that contain the poetry of the prisioners, the only way to be free in this place...

Seattle from the Ferry

Monday, November 16, 2009

Before to my trip to seattle, a lot of people said "Seattle is the most rainy city on the world!!", that is the reason that Seattle is also referred to informally as "Rain City". I stayed 6 days and only 3 days with rain!!! It is weird considering Seattle as city of the rain, but googleando I could see that this city is not the most rainy, but almost always is cloudy and the rain of Seattle is more like a drizzle...

This picture was taken from the Ferry, when I was traveling to visit Dana's mother, (Dana is the girlfriend of my nephew Alexis).

Seattle
Get here a large view!

If you are visiting Seattle you can not miss the first Starbucks, Pike Place Market, the famous "Space Needle" and of course take the ferry to Bainbridge Island and go back in the last Ferry like at 11:35 PM. It is so beautiful to see Seattle's lights reflecting in the water while the wind brushes your face in the front of the ferry.

P.S.:The picture was taken with my old camera Canon Powershot S5.
